you might want to take a look here .
Might not be a good reference for you as I am not a good photographer.
This shot & this & some others were taken wide open.
Pictures scanned using a flat bed and sharpened a little.
I wouldn't say the bokeh is harsh, it's just not the same as the f1.2. Characteristic wise, it's pretty similar with the 40mm. Size wise, nothing as fast & as small as this exist in the market for RF today.

definitely the SC.
based on pics posted, the MC is too contrasty for b&w.

Last weekend I met up with SK Chang (and his new 35/1.4 SC which he picked up a couple weeks ago from Chiif) and took a number of comparison shots with his lens and my 35 Ultron. I just developed the negs yesterday and I'll be writing some stuff on it soon. Wide open, I like the bokeh and tonality of the Ultron better (only slightly) but the Nokton is noticeably sharper and loads smaller.
I just sold off my Ultron and am looking for a good deal on a Nokton Classic

I confess I am an absolute novice on film cameras, but here are my humble offerings with the CV 35mm Nokton Classic MC. Some on Tri-X and some on Superia 400.

Thanks for your kind words, Chii Fei.
I'm quite hooked on this camera and shooting film. Have hardly touched my DSLR in the last month.
Tried out some 400TX pushed to 1600 in Melbourne. Developed and scanned at home:

Let us know your view again if you have a chance to try out the 35/1.4 MC
I just ordered the SC version this past Friday. Most of my RF-toting friends are b&w filmie geek fanboys like me so I'm not sure any of them is interested in the MC version. The SC version is contrasty enough in b&w...I can't imagine how contrasty the MC version would be.

Waiting for your results :think:
Thanks Chiif. Need the lens quick for a wedding.
Generally, with color you'd rather have contrast then midtones so your best choice would probably be the MC version.
