the nocti is a nocti even on the m8, it has become one of my favorite
on the m8. the voitlander 1.2 has a little bit of problem on the m8
towards infinity, it gets stuck and you got use a little force. but if
you are already shooting with th 35/1.4, the nockton has not  much
value. look @ the nocti again
