So, just pullend the trigger and ordered the Nokton. Quite excited... I think it will perfectly match my 16-35GM, 35 f2.8, 50 f1.4 and 85GM. It will be my smaller light-weight Go-To glass with character where the 35mm f2.8 lacks a bit. Oh well, actually I wanted to make a break after the A7RIII purchase but GAS was too strong.
Is there a lens correction profile for the Nokton in Capture One 11? I see the generic one struggles to remove all the fringing and LOCA there. Or is there a way to optimise this manually in C1?
I love the images from that lens. They are not clinical but very much "alive"

Not yet. 12/15
There is chromatic aberration correction and diffraction in C1

Profiles in general don't work well with LoCA (they work great with LaCA but then so do automated non profile based tools)
The problem is that LoCA is very dependent on exactly features of the image (distance from subject to various background and foreground features etc) so no profile can guess these, so they tend either to under correct hugely or else have nasty artefacts. You are much better off manually messing with fringing tools for LoCA.

I just did the same. Mine should arrive tomorrow. Cameraquest is great to work with. I'm out of town and having the lens shipped to my location.
Got my 40/1.2 from Cameraquest on Monday. FE 24-105 comes tomorrow. Thinking of taking 40/1.2, 24-105 and 35/2.8 on next trip (35/2.8 for AF minimal kit when I don't want to carry the zoom. 120 grams! Turns my A7RIII into an X100 on steroids).
The 40/1.2 is now in my bag instead of the 35/2.8 if I don't need AF or the light is going to be very very low. I think for vacations the 35/2.8 will be the lens to take along as AF is just too handy on vacation - for handing the camera to my wife or kids or to some other tourist to take our pic.
For Australians, I got my VM version from Mainline Photo. Currently AU$995. Which for Australia is pretty damn good (there's a big Australia tax on virtually everything - partly because we're so far away, but mainly because they just can).

That’s the M mount version only though, which performs a touch worse in the corners on an unmodified Sony than the E mount...
Thank you for the good advice, David and Guy!
I somehow need to learn how to use C1 for that purple fringe. But otherwise this lens is turning into a real favourite. Went out through the rainforests behind gold coast. Difficult light but great images. Will start posting soon. Too much to do...
