A few years ago I purchased a 15mm CV and recently purchased a 25mm CV in Nikon S mount. I've used Leica lenses for thirty eight years and had some reservations about other than Leitz glass. My experiences with the 15 and 25 have changed my mind. Neither are up to Leica construction but the 25 S mount is darn good. The optics are much better than what I would have expected. The 15 is better than any 15 or 14 that I've owned including Zeiss and the 25 is equal to my favorite 24mm Nikkor. Now I would like to know how the 35mm 1.2 Nokton stacks up with the ORIGINAL formula 35mm 1.4 Summilux and later 35mm Summicrons (all non ASPH Leitz glass). I have a late non ASPH 35mm Summicron and used for many years the 35mm Summilux 1st versin. With a few issues with secondary ghosting under very contrasty light I loved the Summilux. The Summicron is outstanding but would like to get into faster glass due to the kind of work I do. Anyone have experience with the CV 35 1.2 and older 35 1.4 Summilux?


Thanks!
