There are some who don't like the bokeh, but I haven't found it to be a problem. And no less an expert than Erwin Puts has pronounced it very slightly sharper and more contrasty than the Summilux at 4 times the price, although, obviously, the construction doesn't match that of the Summilux, and therefore neither does the consistency. Keep in mind that the Summilux is essentially a four-decades old design, while the Nokton is a modern aspherical lens. If I lusted for a Summicron, I'd go for the Nokton and await for a re-designed Summilux to hit the market. B.

I am contemplating either a new Nokton or used 50mm Sumicron due to a limited budget. I suspect I already know the answer to the question :-) but has anyone been pleasantly surprised by the performance of the Nokton vs the sumicron?
