Normal lens, ZI or CV

[Will]

Got a question in my head for the last few days, although I am not going to do anything on this :bang:

If you are to have a standard lens for the RD-1, would you go for the ZI Biogon or CV Norton?

ZI 35mm Biogon or CV 35mm Norton?

Do you need f1.2 and the physical size that it brings with it? I like the Nokton and the thought of a fast 35 (on film), but I don't think I would use it as an all around lens due to its bulk.

being a big fan of Zeiss lenses, I'd choose the Biogon.. but I'd probably sooner save $400 and go with an Ultron

ZI 35mm Biogon or CV 35mm Norton?

I would only use the 35 Norton for shooting "out takes" from re-runs of the "Honeymooners." 😀

you read my mind... I love the minimum DOF, but the weight...
