Pros: Small, no distortion, risolvenza already at room temperature (calculating the year of design)

Cons: May not appeal to TA for haze, for those who demand perfection, colors than the darkest Leitz, suffers of flare

Opinion: I use it on A7s. My model is fairly recent (I think of 1991). My copy is in excellent condition with lens hood, case, various caps. Let me start by saying that I don't have for a long time (more or less 4-6 months) so I might say something inaccurate. ------------At room temperature is a very difficult to use, as well as for focus (you are likely often to be wrong), but especially for the surrender. Photos at TA have a slight haze (I think it's the fault of spherical aberration), can like it or not but it's the "post production" which makes the lens automatically;-) that characteristic touch and "painterly", it's up to you to find the right picture on which to apply it;-) This doesn't happen more already closing at f/2, while the contrast is great to 2.8. Always at room temperature there is a strong vignetting that honestly I really like (if you want with modern sensors at the end is easily recoverable), but it is thanks to this that the lens vignetting is extremely small. The lens solves very well already at room temperature and the edge improves a lot by closing a couple of stops. By contrast the coma is very present, shooting with light spots in the corners at night becomes a disaster, at night you have to then pay attention or close the aperture by using it on a tripod, this way you will get excellent results. The colors are saturated and bright, but slightly tending toward yellowish. At f 5.6-f8 offers its best with excellent contrast, brilliance, determination. A purpose designed and perfect for black and white, especially on the film (although I am using it in color and on digital MrGreen with excellent results). I already weighed to replace it with the new FLE that for higher costs, would offer a higher quality and less disappointments already at room temperature. But adding an additional variable to take into account when taking (the goal) I found a great challenge, one must have a good knowledge of the target. Moreover, coming from the Nokton I felt already one step ahead optically. I think it's still the second objective that I use more often in recent months. -------Objectives with which it makes sense to do a comparison:---------------Voigtländer Nokton 35 f/1.4 Classic MC or SC (I own MC version)--------doesn't have the typical yield at room temperature of the summilux, has already at room temperature more macro contrast and is absent the sails. Makes it so much easier to use but against some optical defects which I find a bit more annoying as more distortion, less risolvenza is at the edges than in the Centre, higher contrast (SC version should have a lower contrast). Yield remains totally different, despite the aesthetic resembling fifths. The construction is very similar, almost identical (hard not to think that designers Cosina have vivisected a summilux to for inspiration). Here comes the pro that makes me prefer the Nokton at Summilux in certain situations ... you can put on and take off the plug without removing the hood ... home really annoying having to mount and unmount all the summilux-MS-Apoqualia-G 35 f/1.4 Optics------this is the smallest existing 35 1.4 (who knows), produced in limited edition. It will be difficult to see down the price of these products in used but given the limited supplies could prices could increase soon. ----For full review: https://www.juzaphoto.com/topic2.php?t=2361583&l=it&findpost=12657406-----
