As I wrote earlier, I sent the Nokton back as I didn’t get along with that focus shift. I like the lens’ signature, thoug, and would’ve loved to keep it otherwise as it was small, fast and had a nice rendering. But now I’m looking for a pre-ASPH 35 ‘cron, and I’m sure I will have at least as much fun with that – if not more.
But I did take some nice shots with the Nokton, and as now that era has come to an end, I decided to share my favourites with you.

In the shot above, I was heavily struggling to get the greens right. Without an IR filter, it seems they become too yellow.
