new 35/1.4 on a r4a?

[wintoid]

Hmm, I just realised there will be 2 35mm Noktons. People will say "I just got a 35 Nokton", and we'll all have to ask "what type?". I think we need to have a nickname competition for the new lens.

kk,

See attachment. Best,

Roland.

thanks for that Roland. they do look very similar, and the 40 even more so to the lux. Im curious to see how well the 35 will do since its priced much higher than the 40.

(purely academic, not thinking of getting either one)

errr.. given its resemblence to the the summilux... we could call it noktolux (trademark pending)? 😛

Nah, Nokton for the biggun and Nokteen for the littleun.

the rule is, minolta on minolta, zeiss on zeiss and cv on cv, makes my neurosis much easier to deal with 😉

I'm glad that I'm not the only person who feels this way ...

I've never used an R4a. Are the 35mm framelines about the size of the 50mm framelines on an R2a?


Also: I really like "Nokteen".

The physicist in me suggests Noktino?

I just got my 35mm Nokton; what a lens! I feel no need for the 35/1.4.

You can compare viewfinder framelines on cosina's japan site, http://www.cosina.co.jp/seihin/voigt/v-camera/rangefinder/index.html

Just choose the camera model and you'll find the viewfinder pics.

i like both "nokteen" and "noktino".

from a different thread: (http://www.rangefinderforum.com/forums/showpost.php?p=742604&postcount=35)

I have seen a comparison of both lenses (35 Summilux pre and the new CV 35/1.4 SC) in a Japanese camera magazine yesterday. In the article, two example shots were shown, both were taken at f/1.4 with an M8 in BW, the subject was a young lady in front of trees at daylight (high contrast). Whereas the Summilux showed some softness and a smooth bokeh, the CV was much sharper but also showed higher contrast. The bokeh of the CV was simply ugly, swirly and harsh.

In a different magazine the CV 35/1.4 MC was compared to the Summilux 35 pre. In this comparison, two photos - taken at night against strong point light sources - both at f/1.4 were shown. (Don't remember the camera) Here the Summilux showed some flare but the CV (MC) handled the strong highlights very well.

i'd like to see those comparisons ... (curious me).

I have used my pre-asph Summilux 35 on the R4M without any problem - well, one small problem, I have to take the 21/4,5 off it and that is bad!
The 40mm and 35mm Nokton formulas look very much the same - except for that small flat element ahead of the second lens cluster! Wonder what it does?
I have been promised a 35/1,4 SC for this month and just to have something to compare with I have been shooting with my 35/1,4 pre-asph 'lux as a second body/camera combo (M2/Kodak XX).

ah, the voice of experience!
thanks tom, i look forward to trying the new 35 on my r4a.
