any news on the nokton 35mm f1.2 v2?

[papasnap]

hello all!

any developments on the updated 35/1.2? Has there been any word on release date or price?

[peterm1]

Not here but I hope they bring out another silver one in an unlimited version. Those those things were so sexy.

I was wondering the same thing...

I am also eagerly waiting for the v2. Used v1 prices have gone through the roof recently.

On eBay Germany, a seller has a new-in-box black 35/1.2 listed for almost 3000 €. The item description says they already sold three or four. WTF???

I'll one-up that - I'll make a special deal for RFF members, too, selling one for 2875€, and I've already sold three or four.

That listing was there before at a regular price. I guess the 3 lenses went before the seller upped the price. I suspected he put a ridiculously high price to no longer sell the remaining lens through eBay (but he could have stopped the sale, isn't it?).

Going prices now tend to be close to 1000$/€, i.e. higher than the new price before discontinuation. I regret not buying the one that recently sold at 500€ on another forum. It was an early model that did not focus at infinity on the M8, but I could have it modified...

I'm sure this is a typo.
They asking for 2.849€ but the only one I've found in the history was sold for 849€.

Hahah I'm the opposite way around - I recently bought a 35 biogon f2, it's a fantastic lens but for available light shooting there's just no substitute for the big nokton for me. I'm forever managing to damage something, so I'm keen to pick up another 35/1.2 (especially before I leave on a 4 month overseas trip later in the year).

I'm slimming down my kit, so with a noctilux in the back, i'm most likely selling mine as well.. I saw a chrome one for sale on LUF for 800 euro few weeks ago, of course it sold pretty quickly.

Robert white in the UK has it listed on their web site- but no price yet.
