Voigtlander M 35/1.4 Nokton Images

[umcelinho]

I really do wonder about these people that claim it's not a sharp lens, wide open?

Cris, I've compared quickly my 35/1.4 SC to a v4 35mm Summicron, a 35/1.2 Nokton and a 35/1.7 Ultron, they were all sharper wide open than the 35/1.4 copy I had.

But shooting it by itself, without comparing, it's sharp enough.

I think it's more of a matter of signature, size, speed... for instance, the 50/1.5 C-Sonnar isn't as sharp as a 50/1.5 Nokton wide open, the difference is big, but then you have a tiny fast 50 with a peculiar signature and a big(-ish) fast 50 that is razor sharp and has a very neutral drawing.

That said, the 35/1.4 SC Nokton is probably the lens I have shot with the most, and kinda miss it for its speed and size. Your compact hood makes it an even more tempting lens, but then I shoot with the 35/1.7 Ultron and I think again, it's a better lens overall.

I really like everything about this shot. Sorry for the horrible feedback!

Thank you!

I haven't worried about focus shift. Its a 35mm lens so stopping it down gives me enough dof to ignore it.

Frankly, rangefinder calibration and imprecision on my part focusing due to parallax are more likely to be a source of problems shift with this lens.

I haven't encountered any focus shift yet, perhaps thats my lack of technical expertise showing itself though!?

Only at close focus. At longer distances there is no practical problem.

And thanks to all of you for your replies. When do you consider focus is "close" enough to start worrying about the shift, ~ 1 m, 2 m?
