Thanks Vivek. I have both an old Contax Tessar and a MF Nikon 50/1.8 E that I'll try as well. How do the old Minolta 28 and 40 M mount lenses do with UV transmission?Carl, You can use the WB target on your way for UV captures.
Try an old 50/1.8 AI rather than the micro nikkor (poor UV transmission) or better an old Tessar, Elmar and the like.

(a7RII + Voigtländer Nokton 40/1.2)
Those pictures with the new Nokton look pretty good, Seb.
I'd say, very nice OOF rendering, but what about the corners ?
Anyway, happy ?
Still got the silver Mk.I Nokton 35/1.2, I should dust it off and give it run.Hi seb, thanks for the write-up
My first Voigtlander was the Nokton 35/1.2 II and the way you describe the new 40/1.2 they seem to perform very similar.
So for me it doesn't make sense to get that one also, so for 40 mm I chose the Voigtlander Heliar 40/2.8. It's very small and collapsible so the camera/lens actually fits the pocket of my windbreaker. And the lens is sharp, nice rendering and little abberations, but that should be expected from a 2.8 lens.
