Guys, help me, please.
I am torn between these lenses:
Voigt Nokton 35/1.4
Leica Cron 35/2 pre-asph (the asph is too expensive and quite long)
Zeiss Biogon C 35/2.8
Contax G 35/2
Dimensions are about the same, i can't figure out which one will give the best image (no pixel-peeping!).
I plan shooting my wife in usual walkaround + travel shots in different locations. Plus some landscape shots and architectural, but 95% of shots are environmental portraits (e.g. half body w/background)
This is my first attempt to dive in the manual focus lenses.
I have been considering fuji X100 as well but i realised that i like the 50mm much more than 35mm.
p.s. as an alternative there is also samsung 30/2 which, i assume, gives about the same amount of OOF (but the quality might be worse) blur as the above mentioned ones. but since samsung cameras fail at low light this is just a back-up option.
p.s. i am leaning towards the Zeiss, actually for its build quality and optics that are equal to cron asph but 2.8 f-stop bogs me a bit - is f2 makes a LOT of difference in the amount of OOF blur? Or the difference between, say, cron or nokton f2 (which i will shoot in daylight to get nice blur) is negligible with zeiss 2.8?
Contax is also nice but the focusing can be a problem (even via adapter)
Thanks in advance!
