Nokton Classic 35mm F1.4 INFO

About a month ago and before the news broke, I got myself a 35 Ultron. Perhaps this was a mistake. If I had waited, I might have picked one up alot cheaper from the glut that will appear on the market once the Nokton hits the streets.

I dont think you made a mistake. In fact I think the price of the Ultron will stabilize and start to increase a bit when people realize this was the last of the modern fast screw mount 35's and can use them with both LTM and M's. The lens I expect to see being sold off will be the 40mm Noktons when people decide they can have a 35mm to match their 35mm framelines.
 
I want to correct my spectations about the price. I found a place in Japan where you can reserve the Nokton classic 35mm f1.4, the price is marked at 78,750 yens. I'm not sure if the price will come down after some week of its release. :bang:

Mainlinephoto the Aussie distributer/retailer for CV stuff has the new 35 1.4 listed at $A595 and the L6 lenshood at $A65. Which is the ballpark price for most CV stuff Downunder. At that price they'll sell boatloads.
 
I got an Ultron this summer while I save for a summilux but now this little guy, which can focus down to .7 has my FULL attention. I will have to see some shots and just how sharp it is but since the bank account isn't growing any faster I will get it if the results look good. That will put me up to three CV 35 lenses!

but the dealers price will be around 65,000 yens, I think the price will be around $500 dlls.

I don't know about you, but I think a $500 price would sell better than a $1000 price.

Unless you're in the Pentagon. ;)

I still am impressed they went with "f/1.4" and not "f/1.5" or "f/1.6"
