Wonderful depth, colors and out-of-focus areas. Did you buy the Voigtländer Nokton 35/1.2? It's certainly a lens I considered as my general purpose prime. In the end, I found it too heavy as my carry everywhere kit. But if you don't mind that, the results look great.
The colours are part of me changing the white balance a bit in RAW Therapee, the Noktons have a cooler colour reproduction.
I bought the Nokton f1.2 to see if it can replace both my m4/3 Nokton f0.95 25mm and M Nokton f1.4 35mm. So far it looks like it can and I prefer the handling over the f1.4 Nokton. I don't mind the size and have the GR lens for when I want a small and high quality lens, the Nokton will be for low light.
Cristian, that makes a lot of sense; that way you don't have a lens that is only usable on m4/3.
I suspect I'm not the only one who would be very interested in seeing a comparison between both the CV 35/1.2 and CV 35/1.4 at F1.4. One is much larger and considerably more expensive and it would be interesting to see the magnitude of the difference in IQ wide open.
I will try to do a comparison between the Nokton lenses and see what the difference really is. So far I simply prefer the feel and even size of the f1.2 over the smaller f1.4. There also seems to be less fringing and flare on the f1.2 and the bokeh seems a bit nicer.
