There is still no comparision or review on internet between v2 and 11663 in terms of performance.

But v2 and v1 are supposedly very similar.

Im definitely getting v2 but im broke at the moment having to pay for housing renovations...

i did a very quick comparison in Chiif's shop, the 35mm f/1.2 V2 bokeh is smoother then the 35lux FLE, centre sharpness is similar wide open, but 35lux is slightly sharper, overall contrast is similar as well. the focusing of the 35mm f/1.2 is very smooth compared to my 35lux, which is a bit more stiff. the 35mm f/1.2 is really impressive for the performance and value. again, i just did a very quick comparison shot between both lenses so I might be wrong.

My goodness. This I must try. I must go and try.
If you find it to be so, I am sure in no time many will be converted to the Nokton 35mm 1.2!

0.5m close focus distance also very helpful if using on mirrorless cam
