35 Nokton 10 Months, 2 Weeks ago Karma: 0  
Lots of buzz around this beauty! I am definitely getting one - it's the lens I've been waiting for ever since I started shooting rangefinders. I don't even care if it "draws" the same as the 40mm; I think the bad bokeh reputation the 40 Nokton gets is undeserved and one of the silliest lens myths being perpetuated in the rangefinder community.
Anyway, I can't wait until my local shop gets it in stock - I'm first on the list!

A "anonymous" helpful soul passed me the official nomenclature diagram and specs sheet for the lens the other day, He also gave me a heads up on what the initial pricing will be. As for the bokeh, it sounds like the bokeh for this lens was more "deliberately designed" for...at least that's what the marketing language sounds like

The specs for the lens are alredy in the an article here and on Cosina's website. I'll publish the nomenclature diagram and the prcing info in a day or two.

I got my 35mm Nokton today!

I have shot only half a roll of Tri-X with it so far but already I am loving it. Its extremely well built (looks and feels practically like a Leica lens, and it makes my camera look a lot more inconspicuous than the silver Ultron 35mm did.

The focus ring is really well dampened which I love.

Hats off to Scott at Mainline Photo in Sydney for getting the lens to me in about around 10 hours...fantastic service.

He had told me that it was expected on Wednesday, so he must have simply changed shipping stickers and stuck it back in the post to you LOL

Do post some sample pics later on
