Some "left-overs". Loxia 50 except the last which is from CV Nokton 50/1.5.
Like karambol above (welcome btw. and very nice first set) I'm quite fond of the Nokton. For many types of subjects I prefer it over the Loxia.
My main reason to prefer M-mount manual lenses over E-mount excellent Loxias line is the opportunity to turn them to AF and almost macro lenses with Techart adapter
Photo taken at 7:35 PM on August 14, 2015 of a Young Buck White Tail Deer in velvet, Big Meadows, Shenandoah National Park, Virginia. Image heavily cropped and taken with my tripod mounted Canon new FD 500mm f4.5 L lens and my A7r, ISO 400, lens set to f4.5 for 1/320 second. Exposure corrected by +0.48 Stops and processed in LR6.
Following on from my earlier posts of photos taken in Ethiopia with the Loxia 50 and SEL 16-70 on A7R II, here are some with the Sony FE 70-200G. The birds are very heavily cropped, usually 100%, but still print perfectly well up to A4.

Nice Helena - Funny you should mention the Nokton. I have a similar 'dilemma' but in the 35mm FL where I am torn between the Loxia 35 and the Voigtlander Ultron (new) 35/1.7. Something about that voigtlander look . . .
Thank you Bob. Those look really nice! Since I sold my RX1 last summer I haven't had a 35mm lens and really miss it sometimes. I have been thinking about the Ultron 35 and there is a used one for sale which is very tempting. I think I'll buy it and give it a try.
I'm actually considering selling the Loxia and keeping the C/Y 50/1.7 for urban stuff and landscapes in dull light and the Nokton for everything else. The Rokkor is a lovely lens so I'll keep it for now. It'll see more use in spring and summer when I enjoy walking around in the forest and do "bokeh shots".
After two days of snowfall here comes the thaw again.Beech forest on the moumtain slope stays shrouded in mist.Trees and boulders look like silent ghosts.
Beautiful set Peire! Snow, fog and orange leaves together is heaven for photography and you made the most of it.
While trying to decide what to do with my 50mm dilemma I went through some of CV 50/1.5 shots and found some older ones I haven't posted before (although a couple are similar):
