Have You seen the new 35/1.4 Nokton?

[Jacob]

EricFive justpointed at this new lens in another thread:
http://www.cosina.co.jp/seihin/voigt/v-lens/v-l-m/35-1.4/index.html
...and I think the news deserves a thread of it's own.
It will be my next purchase.

Woooow!! thanks for the link!!

awesome...who´d have thought that they bring out a 35 1.4 with the 40 1.4 in the line?! interesting..

Mr. K never fails to amaze me

 

[Jacob]

I hope they have listened to the critique of the 40/1.4 and adjusted the signature accordingly if that is possible.

Anybody looking to sell a 35 f1:1.2 cheap?......you know the big heavy one....drop me a line

:angel:

 

[Sparrow]

I hope they have listened to the critique of the 40/1.4 and adjusted the signature accordingly if that is possible.

I think that’s more of a Leicaphile myth rather than an actual fault, I suspect it will effect this one just as badly

If you go into the Cosina site normally and go the the L&VM lens page, you end up here:http://www.cosina.co.jp/seihin/voigt/v-lens/v-l-m/index.html
No mention of this lens or diagram but some oldies are there. Click on several of the lenses on the left and it still doesn't show. However try the 40 classic or a couple of others and suddenly it appears. http://www.cosina.co.jp/seihin/voigt/v-lens/v-l-m/40-1.4/index.html

Looks like M-mount from the picture to me.

yea it looks like . But could be LTM + adapter - has the same look .
But I believe you are right. Personally I prefer LTM+adapter

Google translate is a wondermachine

It is M mount since it claims focusing from 0.7m.

 

[veraikon]

@ Lance :thx. And I see googles translation is better than babelfish. -Babelfishs was a little bit cryptic l

hope not too ot: where to buy Voigländer lenses in Europe ? I still dont know a single good site or shop.

 

[Kim Coxon]

In the UK, Ffordes are very good. https://secure.ffordes.com/index.htm
Others have also spoken very highly of Robert White (The UK importer). http://www.robertwhite.co.uk/
I am sure others can add some names.

An other site:
www.fotopartner.de
At my experience reliable, good service and prices.

Agreed with both, and Robert White is exceptional. Aperture Photographic is the other one I would mention: http://www.apertureuk.com/

The lens formula is the same as the first generation of 35mm summicron, and hope that we have a similar signature and a wider aparture for bonus.

 

[sanmich]

Not a single lens in the 28mm focal ???

 

[rover]

Not a single lens in the 28mm focal ???

It has to be coming soon you would think.

 

[gelmir]

Ha nice !
Too bad they keep putting that chrome ring that looks like a bayonet on the front, I'd prefer a complete black look instead.

I wonder if it is a modern version of the pre asph lux size wise. If it is then it would be an interesting lens for 35mm FL RF users.
