I love this lens and use it for everything. Here are a couple late at night with some Tri-X.

I like to use it on still subjects with slow film (Pan-F) to really take advantage of the smoothness and shallow DOF, or with high-speed film in bars to take advantage of the large aperture. Both of these times, the size of it doesn't really matter.

I did exactly the same. Started with the 35mm Summicron v4 than added the Nokton 1.2. They are good complements, the Cron as a carry around and day lens and the Nokton purely for shots wide open and night.
I went to the Paris Marathon this weekend and shot only with the Nokton at 1.2. Fun excercise though difficult to get all shots in focus on running subjects. Below are a few samples.

Congrats on the acquisition of such a lens. One day, I may do the same.

 

[swoop]

I have both as well. They're great.

So much for 'saving!' 😛

This will be my next lens. But in all honesty, Simon, you'd take great images with ANY setup! Love your work.

...am I stupid?

Not at all. For a time I had a 35mm Asph Summilux, a 35mm Asph Summicron, and a 35mm f/1.2 Nokton. I only bought the Nokton to try it out (it was relatively cheap).

My better sense finally got hold of me though and I sold the Nokton and the Summilux.

Now that was stupid!

Thank you Helen, I'll try to remember to put the lens details on my gallery posts as I often forget any technical details. Have you got a gallery here or elsewhere online? I couldn't find a link via your signature.

Thanks Way - I was surprised with its size...I thought it would be even bigger after all the talk about it. If you have any doubts I'd overcome them and go for it...I've had it a day but my first impressions are extremely favourable simply for the signature, its a little soft at 1.2 but certainly by f4 its sharp as a knife. I don't tend to shoot wide open that often as I simply can't focus quickly and accurately enough for my liking but there's little doubt that some shots will be wide open.

Just a real shame I'm booked solid with work over Easter and can't go out to play🙁 Soon though, very soon...
