the pre-asph 35mm lux profile seems to work better than the asph 35 lux, but what I do is to apply the correct Nokton 40/1.2 correction profile on Lightroom on post.


Thanks a lot!


Will try the pre.asph. 'lux, when my Nokton arrives ...


Switched from LR to DXO as I don't like LR and its (for me) crazy and unflexible workflow.
So LR profiles are no solution for me ;)

I just acquired this lens - just boxed it up to send out to have the flange milled for 6-bit coding. I'm planning on coding it as a 50mm Noctilux.

But before I boxed it up I had to run a comparison with the 50 and 35 FLs on my M10-P (set on a tripod). Forget the photography - this is my loft and simply intended to show the margins between the three lenses. The bookcase is about 10-feet back - all three lenses were shot wide-open.

FWIW - The 35mm framelines are reasonably accurate as depicted in the last image above.

Your photos do such a nice job of showcasing the Japanese streets. So clean. No graffiti, no litter, no burned out looted stores. Such things would be so shameful to the Japanese people. I have not been there since the 1990's but it looks cleaner to me than it used to be.

Thanks for sharing and I love the 40mm look!

Thank you, fdarnell, you are very, very, kind. But, trust me, we do have a few dirty graffiti defaced streets and a few more of our own social problems. But, all that said I truly do love this country and the people who live here. There is no other place on Earth I want to live.

Yes, the 40mm look is all that! And, the Voigtlander 40mm f1.2 Nokton VM lens delivers it in *****s. "Edit" wow, a common phrase has been censored; maybe I should have said "hearts" instead of "$pades", oh well, life goes on.

All the best,
Mike
