50mm Summicron v3

Pros: Sharp, contrasty and gives nice negatives
Cons: Too contrasty for my taste.

I am thinking of swapping/getting a v2 or a DR, if anyone is interested in having a Cron 50, ping me.

Nokton 35mm F1.2

The good stuff -
Pretty sharp wide open
A joy to focus - so smooth

The not so good stuff -
Bokeh is not as pretty as Canon LTM lens
Pretty heavy
