Please stay consistent which lens is on the left or right. Much easier on the viewer if lens A is always on the left and lens B always on the right. Other than that, I very much appreciate that you did this comparison.
I bought the VM1.4 in 2015 for my Sony A7 alongside a Leitz 90/2.8 I bought the E1.2 a few years ago. I still have both! But I prefer to use the E even if the VM does look much better!
Yes that's what I think would convince me to get the m mount. I prefer native mount when it comes to autofocus lenses. For a manual lens I'm not sure I trust my eyesight at wide open aperture. Using a techart gives the option of autofocus.
Thanks for this informative video. I already have the f1.4 and I was wondering if it was worth upgrading. I would say, probably not based on this. It would be a different question if I didn’t have either.
Hi, is Voigtländer Nokton 40mm 1.4 + leica T = good pairing? Will it become manual mode bec lens is manual ?? I m using it for portrait photography. Thanks Guru for your advice!!! 😄
Hi! It is a good pairing but you need an adapter from t to m-mount and there will be a crop of 1.5x. So 40mm becomes 60mm equivalent. If you can live with that it’s a great and affordable manual lens. The voigtlanders are all manual lenses.
The 1.2 has a dof of f4 and the 1.4 has a dof of 2.8...theys or 2 different lenses whit the same FL. (not the same karakter)..i have most of the nokton line-up to tell you that the 1.4 is a classic lens and renders different then the 1.2. The de rendering of the 1.2 is more of the same in the nokton line-up..so the redering of the 1.2 wil be the same on all noktons (NOT classic). the main reason why it has a close focus of 0.7m is do to parallax issues on rangefinder camera's (m-mount is rangefinder).

You can put a close focus adapter on the leica lens which will make it way more versatile
The exposure on the 1.4 looks a little brighter when you shoot the books and pendant. Maybe that's why it looks less contrasty.
Excellent review - very informative. I would go for the Sony version due to exif data, shorter focusing distance and the adapter requirement.

With the Vm mount you can use techart pro and you get af, eye af and exif, you just do not get f stop

I’m having a hard time letting go the e mount version. I recently picked up a bessa r3a and Nokton classic 1.4 lens.
Outstanding comparison!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for this review
I now prefer staying with my m mount version 😬😬😬😬
isn’t the vignetting difference due to correction vs. no correction (because no contacts/exif in the adapted lens)?
There was no correction applied in Lightroom .
That have no sens but i realy love the 1.4 MC, he have a realy powerfull caractère and whith lightroom, the default can deseaper if we want.
how did you get f number from the VM lens into the exif files. I use the 35 1.4 VM on my sony and it always shows nothings for f stop
It's not possible to do that in camera. I just named every single photo in Lightroom to keep an overview.
Frankfurt 🤩
thanks
