Here are some rendering comparisons at around 0.5m distance.
Which do you prefer?
Thank you, Fred, that comparision is very helpful. I’d almost written off the Nokton Classic FE 35/1.4 after reading BastianK’s review (though I’m baffled by the difference between the extreme corners in his tests and your own). But Danny’s description of the lens as a “wider Planar ZE 50/1.4” piqued my interest since that’s a lens I like very much. On reflection, though, I realize that Danny’s use case (near MFD at f/1.4) and and mine (0.5 to 2m at f/2.8) are very different. Your sunflower pictures have convinced me that I’m better off sticking with my Distagon ZE 35/2. The Nokton Classic FE 35/1.4 is significantly smaller and lighter but (much to my astonishment) my frame of reference for size and weight is now the Planar FE 50/1.4 so that’s an advantage I’m prepared to forgo.
