VC 35mm Ultron or Rollei 40mm Sonnar

[Spud10]

I've been contemplating making a purchase of one these two lenses lately, though I can't quite make up my mind. Aside from the size of the lenses and an approx 1.5 stop difference, what do you guys think?

I know these lenses aren't exactly the most well used lenses but anyone who could offer some experience with one or the other (or both!) would be fantastic.

Have you by chance shot with the 50mm f1.5 nokton as well? It's currently my go to 50mm and I really find the way it renders quite pleasing to my eyes.

Any similarities?

I am the opposite, love the Ultron but haven't used the Rollei Sonnar. I think the Ultron is a great 35mm lens. From what I have seen from the Rollei it looks very special too.

Thanks for the links guys. I enjoyed the pictures, back alley, and fuwen, your website is great.

Really am liking the look of the sonnar but for some reason I keep thinking the ultron would be a better balance on my M5. Hmm..
