Voigtlander Nokton 35mm f/1.2 Ver. III 

I have the same lens, the version III. it's fantastic and much smaller than the previous versions. The perfect lens. I also have the 21mm f1.4 Nokton which is a beast on my M10R, but is amazing as well.

Very elegant. The photographer, camera, lens, light, and of course the subject came together for this one.

Beautiful lens, beautiful model, pure fun ❤

I have the version 2 glad you mentioned Camera Quest Stephen Gandy is always been a fantastic person with whom to deal I appreciate you and this channel the very best you, always

wow, finally a photographer photographer. Subscribed. So much to learn about the craft.

Love your work … looks so fine and extraordinary.

Voigtlander almost never disappoints :)

Great photos. Love the B&W treatment!

wonderful shots, gorgeous model. absolutely love the results. Currently looking for the 50mm f/1.2 sibling of this lens, but it's sold out where I live, be it new or used. But that 35mm of yours absolutely delivers, beautiful !!

a lens I always wanted to try, this year probably, I'll sel the ultron 28, because the focal, and vignetting. Having the 40 and the 35, you have to compare your impressions.

I picked up a used Voigtländer 35 mm f/1.2 VM I lens. It definitely has character.

Interesting to see v3 in use, had the v1 with my Epson RD1s and it was great, also fine with M6 and Delta 3200 for instance. Tried V2 when i got back to Leica again, but i did not get it working with the M9 Monochrome, took some time to learn the “film in it” but all came together with a 35mm pre asph summilux. Now something more modern would be nice now and then with the M10 monochrom, so perhaps? Thank you for the videeo

Hey, thanks for you insights. You are right, one have to try a lens. But what do you think about adapting this 35 1.2 to the Zf? Currently eyeing with adapting it to my Zf and maybe you have tried it yourself already :) would love to hear your insights.

Very lovely images again, warm model. Those studio shots where natural light? The lighting was great! Thanks for making these videos.

Thanks for posting. Out of curiosity, back in the day, when you were shooting film, did you have a favorite body(ies)/lens(es) combo(s)?

Your thoughts on the 35 vs the 40? You loved that lens, too, correct? I ask because I have the 40 and am considering adding a 28. Is 28, 40, 75 a trinity? Sorry, lots of questions in there. ☺️

How do you compare this with the nokton 40mm 1.2?

Would you happen to know how is colors rendering of this lens vs the Sony GM lenses? Doesn’t look like they have the Sony version, but there is adapter. If you shoot raw, will it make a difference in color? I’m considering to get one with an adapter for my Sony a7c but the price close to the sony 35 gm

This is a nice lens, I’d take it over a lot of other 35s. Not a lot of advocates for this lens online outside of Mr Leica, Philip Reeve, and the random video or Fred Miranda post. lol. For v3, I feel like they got the ergonomics right on this, the barrel is very similar to the 15 last version. The weight is nice for 1.2, as you say. Personally I prefer the nokton 1.4 for a fast character 35 (I will not pay 3k for a steel rim reissue or an old lux) and the Zeiss distagon for high IQ fast 35 (lux asph works too!). So yea choose your own adventure! You usually can’t go wrong with CV but you might like something else even more.

That lens does look good, especially with that window light you had. Been using a Voigtlander Ultron 35/1.7 for several years now, which is also nice (bit 'cleaner' perhaps). I may prefer that 1.2, but not by enough to replace the Ultron ;-)

best advice ever: " try lenses for yourself".....Thanks, man.

the Lux FLE is a great lens and all, but it's getting a bit old. the close focus version didn't get any optical updates. one wonders if Leica is spreading R&D a bit thin with the SL lenses as most of the lux layouts are now like 20 years old. the 35 apo cron is just clearly their best effort at 35mm but it's priced really high for that compact size (even the 50 apo cron which is now a decade old, is like 9000 dollars still somehow). I've been on the fence about an FLE since it's small for what it is, using a 35mm c-biogon atm which is slow but crazy, crazy sharp. I have heard Light Lens Lab is going to make a version of the old double aspherical 35mm summilux, that could be a winner if it comes in at the 2Kish price of their 1.2 Noctilux clone. For a more characterful alternative to the VM 35 APO anyway.
