Thanks for the comparison. Haha, got two out of three lens correct.
2f is the easiest lens to figure out. I shoot it almost 4 years. No way I will miss that. Pentax is the one I thought about buying for GFX after do lots of researches on it but late find it will not offer enough coverage and focus the nikon way.
I totally miss the lens #1 and though it was 35mm Summilux. I am surprised it behave like this under this condition. It doesnt look that good.
However, two comments, first, it was used on Sony, I think it will modify the bokeh behavior like I saw before. So was a VC35mm f1.7, some rangefinder glasses just more sensitive to others.
2nd, This is one set of result under one distance and one light condition. and we are only talk about Bokeh smoothness per say. and in this shooting case, Bokeh smoothness is the only important factor.
RX1 did a great job here. I do like it for the reason it just doesn't draw attention to itself, no bokeh business, much less corner funkyness so you can concentrate on images itself which is the most important feature I like about 35mm. (means mostly small aperture shooting or long distance wide aperture shooting, not for bokeh effect) Ultimately, for a rangefinder 35mm glass, I rated ergo as equally important as bokeh rendering. For that reason combine with rendering I rule out the 35mm f1.7VC, ZM35f1.4 and potentially 35mm f1.2VC. (it did surprisingly good here but not enough for me TBH )
One 35mm lens I like a lot is Nikon 35mm f1.8S, it is the closest one remind me of RX1. I am pretty sure it will behave better than most of glasses here under same condition. I sold my Z7 but decide keep it and 85S for future use.
If they are all the same price, I will choose 35lux FLE with no brain, I like the fact of it has focus tab, small and high speed for low light shooting, for me that will be more important than anything else. Let face it, if we just pick bokeh or rendering, sigma 35mm f1.2 L will be in my bag already.
To like a lens or not can be tricky for me. I am slightly surprised to see the 35mm pre-FLE results here but other than that, I am not seeing any unexpected results and know that it will for sure not changing how I choose my lens. The only way is using it long enough to find out.
Thanks again for the comparison.  ...Show more →
What info did you find the pentax 31 w/ the GFX? Can you link? I ask because I used it with lovely results on a 50r--no hard vignetting, but I also didn't shoot crops on a tripod, so maybe the corners never sharpen? I do dislike the Nikon way the focus rings goes as well.
After being super excited about the ASPH Lux Leica 35's, I am not a fan anymore. I don't care too much about the technical rendering--though I like to be aware. The images don't do it for me. They don't have the brilliance and magic as some of the older mandler lenses, while the new ones feel fine but lots of sharp high micro-contrast well corrected modern optics available now. Even if they were all priced the same, I still wouldn't select them. I think the bokeh is pretty consistently poor on the modern 35 lux'es, but people have their preferences which I support. I think in a blind test, it will loose again and again. I haven't done much research on the Nikon Z 35--I'll give it a look. I haven't followed the Z system much, but the 85 1.8 images did seem quite nice.
I would give the CV 35 1.2iii a try--ergonomically, it's the best of the M 35's I have shot. I am not too fond of the CV 35 f2 or CV 35 1.7, while the ZM 35 1.4 was large and I found a bit tricky to focus. The new CV 35 is great ergonomically--wonderful focus throw, not too big or too small, aperture rings has nice placement, MF ring is broad and tactile, minimal extension, nice MFD. I don't prefer focusing tabs, and my hands are slightly large, so that might be a difference for us.
