I'd love to see some film work with the new VM.

I had a chance to handle one of these on Friday. It surely is a gorgeous piece of glass. Even if it photographed like the bottom of a Coke bottle I think I would be tempted to buy it just to fondle.

I second that emotion. But is it possible to mount on a film camera?

Yes, it's an M-mount lens.

no weird corners on A7, like the wider M stuff?

The lens is available both in Sony E and Leica M mounts.

Depends how picky you are. Over at FM (in this thread starting around here) there has been some discussion and comparison of the E and M mount versions. It would appear the Sony version is better optimized for use on Sony cameras - better edge/corner performance at wider apertures.

A few from yesterday.

Lovely shots.

Did you use the hood

LOL! Yes, I used the official overpriced Voigtlander hood! But hey, it's a damn nice hood, cast and then machined aluminum, fits to the lens, not screwed into the filter threads - well worth the money.

And, thank you for the "Lovely shots" comment, much appreciated.

I think prefer the look of the Nokton 35/1.4.

These remind me of my 35mm Nokton though the oof areas aren't quite as clinical as the 35mm IMO.
