I have a break from teaching, so I am taking more photos than I would usually do when the university is open.
I used the M8 and M9 with the original Voigtlaender Nokton 50/1.5. Amedeo made an adapter for this lens from Prominent to M. I also used the modern Cosina-Voigtlaender Nokton 50/1.5 ltm.
I may have done this little "project" for 3-4 days here in Pensacola. I started out with the old Nokton on the M8 and the modern Nokton on the M9 for a day or so. Both cameras were set to ISO 160 for most images in daylight. I shot in RAW, followed by transforming the image files to jpg with LR5. I used CS2 to add a small amount of contrast as the only PS.
Old Nokton with M9: M9 Old Nokton 50 1.5 - raid
New Nokton with M9: M9 CV Nokton Asph 50 1.5 - raid
Old Nokton with M8: M8 Old Nokton 50 1.5 - raid
New Nokton with M8: M8 New Nokton 50 1.5 - raid
I will start out with some images from the M9 with the modern CV Nokton.

The CV 50/1.5 is an excellent lens overall. It snaps into focus easily, and it is a lens that is sharp with color fidelity and excellent multicoatings.
I will next upload images from the old Nokton and the M8.
This is the version that was made for the Prominent many years ago.
It had then a stellar reputation for being an excellent 50mm lens.
