In case you hadn't heard the news, Cosina/Voigtländer has announced a new M mount 50mm f/1.5 Nokton lens! Optically it's unchanged from the previous LTM version, which is great news as it's a much loved lens, especially for B&W shooters. Mechanically it's built more to look like the original version as seen in the 1950s Voigtländer Prominent. Performance wise it's always been excellent. The specs:

Very good to hear Cosina continues to make Leica M lenses, we're still waiting for the new ZM whatever it is |

So far I'm very happy with my 50 Lux pre-ASPH e46. Granted the price of this new Voight will probably be less than half what I paid for a used lens. |

I know this is an ancient thread, but I would love to see a comparison between this lens and Voigtländer's f/1.1 - I simply can't decide which one to get. |

Granted, it's not a huge difference - but do you need the speed? The f/1.1 is a fairly heavy, larger lens. It also has a little bit of focus shift. But it's a lovely lens; sharp. The bokeh of the f/1.5 is nicer - the other, at f/1.1 - can be a bit wiry/nervous. I tend to shoot mine stopped down a tiny bit, f/1.4. The f/1.5 has always been a highly regarded lens. Personally, I'd go with that one unless you need the speed. |
