Frank: I know that you love your Rokkor. It is a bargain and above all it is an excellent sharp lens.

No Raid, be weak again and ask me to trade you the 40 Nokton for the 40 cron

the 40 nokton is a good lens and faster to boot!
i like the 40mm focal length but prefer it with a camera that has 40 fl.
otherwise i go crazy deciding whether to use 35 or 50 fl.

When I first bought the 40 I almost filed it down to show the 35 frame lines. I'm glad I didn't because I think it's better to think you're a little squeazed and know you have everything in the frame than the other way around.

i've read the nokton 40 is closer to 43mm.

The Nokton is a nearly exact match for the 35 framelines of the later M camera when focused at 10 ft. and beyond. It doesn't noticeably crop unless your within 5 ft, and even then it's closer to the 35 frames than the 50.

I really am not sure at this stage. I need a faster lens but almost everyone commenting on the Summicron/Rokkor praises these lenses. Cost is not the factor for me here. I wonder whether your CV is a better lens for me or not.
