Sell 35/1.2 Nokton to buy 28mm Zeiss?

D&A: Do you mean a 35/2 Biogon? I didn't know it came in a 2.8 flavor...

Johann, I really enjoy your 35 Nokton photos on flickr. I enjoy the OOF character of the Nokton in your work.

I completely agree. Your shots on flickr with the 35mm f1.2 are way too good to pass up! Also, it looks like you shoot in low light pretty often - for times you were pushing 400 speed film 1 stop on your 35mm f1.2 lens, you'd have to be pushing 2.5 stops on the 35mm f2, and 3-3.5 stops on a 25/28mm f2.8.

Unless you really didn't like the results or the experience of shooting with it, I think it would be a shame to loose something that seems to work so well for you. Save up, and get the 25mm biogon to accompany it 🙂
