I don't use the Nokton but I've heard good things. I have a Canon 50mm
f/1.2 and love it. 
75mm is a focal length that I'm still warming up to despite owning a
75mm lens for almost a year now. I don't use it that much but I really
do like it. I have the Voigtlander 75mm f/1.8. It's sharp in the center
at all apertures, great for portraits or just a little more reach than
a 50mm for general photography. Wide open it has a very narrow, sharp
zone of focus and pleasant out of focus areas in front of and behind
the focus plane. I wasn't expecting a lens this good when I bought it
and was surprised. Stopped down a bit it sharpens up across the whole
frame. It's a neat little lens and for the money I think it's worth
every bit. It's small, not too heavy, well built, smooth focusing and a
great performer.
