No, the aperture ring is fixed with the LTM version.

A few shots from Kyoto using the W-Nikkor 35/1.8 on my S2.

This guy was milling around by his taxi having a smoke and I nodded as I walked passed and he nodded, and then, noticing the Domke hanging from my shoulder he said, hey, you have a camera bag? I said yeah, and opened the flap to show him my S2 with 35/1.8 attached. His eyes lit up and he said, I have an SP! We had a nice chat and then he let me take his photo

Maybe I should use my 35/1.8 ltm more often.

Very nice images. I get the impression it has quite a bit more contrast than the Leica pre-asph 35mm Summilux f1.4

Do the two lenses have a similar market value?
35/1.4M Lux
Nikon 35/1.8 ltm
I love using both lenses.

Thank you sir. My negs are nice and contrasty. That being said, these images are DSLR scans (quite flat files) that I invert in NLP, and make small adjustments to. Would be interesting to shoot the 'lux and the W-Nikkor under the same conditions and see how they compare.

That would be a very interesting comparison.

So many lenses, so little time. I have one lens in LTM and the original S-mount, as well as the 2005 re-issue version. I prefer the originals. The reissue is a very good lens, but I have a strong preference for the retro-rendering of 1950s and 1960s lenses.

Raid, my S-mount 35/1.8 is a cosmetically rough copy with clean glass I picked up in Japan a few years ago for about ¥65,000. With the range in price based on condition, and large fluctuations in yen value, the market value of these lenses varies significantly.

I try to explore one or two lenses during each vacation during the summer. The Lux is more practical to use, but the W-Nikkor may be more interesting. This is the fun of choosing and then using.

The ebay asking prices for the LTM version of this lens are crazy. $5000+.

my S3+35/1.8 combo came back to me today (buyer never warmed up with it) so I plan to load up some Adox HR 50 and shoot!
in the meantime my fav frames from summer '22.

How do you like that set up? I have always wanted to try this lens on an s3 because of the 1:1 viewfinder with 35mm lines.my S3+35/1.8 combo came back to me today (buyer never warmed up with it) so I plan to load up some Adox HR 50 and shoot!

Might seem counter-intuitive...
When carrying the Nikon SP and Nikon S3, I kept the 5cm lens on the S3 and used the 3.5cm lens on the SP.
I wear glasses, framelines close to the edge of the S3 are difficult to see. The Second viewfinder of the SP is used for 28 and 35, so is easy to see.

I see that. I have an s3 with a 5cm f1.4. unfortunutly the slow speeds seem to not work anymore as all slow speeds sound like 1/125th. I posted in the classifieds actually. I am looking to possibly trade my summilux f1.4 steel rim reissue for a black paint s3 and a 3.5cm f1.8 or 2.5 in the 1.8 barrel. I have heard this 3.5cm f1.8 renders kinda like a summaron f2.8?
