voitlander 35mm ver 1 vs. ver 2

[msadat]

i have a the version 1 and generally i am very happy with it, but i also don't mind if i can improve it. so i am looking for information and opinions on I vs. II

 

[joeswe]

what 35mm are you talking about?
The Skopar (three versions) or the Nokton (three versions)?

yes, that would help, i am talking about the nokton ver 1 and 2. i think there is only two versions

There are four 35mm Nokton lenses: two f/1.4 Noktons--single- or multi-coated. And there are two versions of the 35/1.2 Nokton, an older one and one released in 2011. Maybe that's what you mean. Here is something on why to keep version 1. http://prosophos.com/2011/08/09/the-voigtlander-nokton-35mm-f1-2-aspherical-version-i/

Never heard of that -- so is the general consensus that v1 is better than v2? I'm on the fence between either of these and the Zeiss 35/2. I don't have to have that extra 1.5 stops of light but it would be nice. Anyone know how this thing performs in the corners?
