35 Lux ASPH had it slightly with the old firmware. New firmware all but corrected it and I don't see the slightest trace with the 35 Nokton II

Also, another note, I left the coding set to Auto, so there was no corrections made for the lenses by the M9-P. I also added some extra notes to the bottom of the testing post.

This lens looks great- will be very popular.
Most focus shift is caused by spherical aberration, which is minimized with the aspherical optics. Makes snese that focus shift would be minimal.

Maybe it's just me...but the new version seems to be more clinical and sharp, but i don't see the classic "nokton glove" that i love in my v1. I mean in the 100% crop of the flower you can see a kind of soft flare around the edge and of course in the new version this "problem" as been solved, but in my case i really love that effect on my pictures, maybe it's just me and the fact that i only use film and no digital so i don't need to enlarge my pictures so much...
Anyway an amazing lens, but at the moment i feel satisfied with my old v1...and his character ^_^

What's nokton glove?

So between the v2 nokton, summilux asph, and cron asph, at f/2.0, which is sharper across the field with the most contrast?

No way to tell for sure, but it would have to be between the Summilux and Nokton II. I know my Nokton 1 at f/2 was very good across the frame. I have never really rated the Summicron ASPH wide open, and it's bokeh is quite harsh IMHO.
Without testing it would be hard to put the Nokton ahead of the Summilux ASPH FLE, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was closer than you think.

Is it natural fiber or synthetic? My skin is sensitive to synthetic fibers. Here's hoping that a wool version is in the works.

and just like that the internet myth about a certain nokton glove was born. 😀

Hi Olsen. Thanks. I did not correct any of the images in this thread for distortion. I was just pointing out that this lens has very slight distortion that, if required, is easy to correct.
In terms of focus shift, my sample is already very sharp at f1.2 and becomes progressively sharper stopped down. This impressed me given that this is a fast lens, particularly since my 35/2 ASPH and 35/1.4 ASPH lenses (and I owned several samples of each) all displayed focus shift between f2.8 and f5.6.

Simon is the Nokton king. Some of the very best pictures taken with this lens were taken by Simon.

You don't have to tell me that, I know 🙂 Maybe his secret is NOT wearing the nokton gloves.
