After a while looking at those 35mm 1.4 samples, reading all opinions, I'm starting to love that funky busy bokeh.
I already have 40mm 1.2 for smooth OOF, but this 35mm looks so similar to old school glass, that I think I would like to buy one

I'm the opposite. I think it's a tad too busy for bokeh.
Guys I’m looking to buy the classic. I’m seeing a version 2 and I’m not sure which lens to grab. Can someone supply a proper link to the lens in this thread.
Yes, this is the right one for E-Mount. There is only one version for E-Mount (Voigtländer 35 f1.4 Nokton Classic). For M-Mount you can find version I and II - the newer version II is comparable with the E-Mount version. To make it even more complicated: Version II for M-Mount is available with single coating "SC" and with multi coating "MC" but the "MC" is not printed on the frontring of the lens - if there is no "SC" it is the multi coated version.
(The E-Mount Version is only available as multi coated version - so no signs concerning coating)
I have a question (also asked it in 40mm 1.2 thread): I noticed a strange behaviour of my CV 40mm 1.2 and 35mm 1.4.
Both lens when focus is set to infinity show out of focus, but when I turn focus ring just about 1mm back, it in perfect focus.
What is the focus distance when its set to infinity?
I thought that if I set it to infinity, everything from like 10 meters away from me should be in focus.
I noticed it on a tree that was about good 30 meters away from me.
Since I noticed it, its so annoying, that I started to hate it to be honest...

Are your lenses M or E-mount version? If the latter, the lens' hard stop can't be perfect because of the lower flange distance tolerance with Sony bodies.

E mount.
So this is why? I thought my A7II is faulty, cause had this with both lens. Just realised last week that I always need to turn focus ring back about 1-2mm to have nice sharpness...
So all this time I was taking out of focus photos at hard stop infinity - now I know why. Thanks Fred for solving my problem

Yes, with the E-mount, the hard stop goes beyond infinity. It's usually at the center of the infinity symbol instead of the hard stop. The hard stop is the true infinity when using the M-mount on a M-body. (If the lens is well calibrated)
Resurrecting this thread. I have a chance to buy a 35 1.4, but there is no hood with the lens. Looking at the LH-6, it doesn't appear to the same thing as it it slotted/vented.
Can someone confirm this lens does actually come with a hood and, if so, whether there is a part number for it?

Thanks!
The E-mount version is supplied with a threaded hood. However, the 35/1.4 Nokton M-mount does not come with a hood but the LH-6 is specifically designed for it and the 40/1.4 Nokton lens. (Bayonet style)
Thanks. The one I'm looking at is secondhand and doesn't appear to have one in the box. A third party version will do, but wondered if, for some bizarre reason, the Sony hood is different in some substantive way from the LH-6

The hood for the Sony version is just a threaded metal hood and it was indeed included with the lens. Perhaps the seller misplaced it. You can get any 58mm metal hood for it though. I don't think Cosina offers a replacement.
The LH-6 has only works with the M-mount version.
I’ve now got my 35 Classic minus hood. Could someone who has one please measure the length/width of their hood so that I can try to get something similar. I know it’s a 58mm screw thread.

When you say "the lower flange distance tolerance with Sony bodies," you mean that the Sony flange distance tolerances are tighter? Or looser?
