I have used the 50mm Nocton and the 35mm Voigts on my M6 ttl before

I could afford used Leica Summicrons. The results at least in BW are

to me, virtually indistinguishable from the 'crons, at least at f4

and up. The construction, however, is light years below Leica

quality. They become a bit loose after a while, the (in my case)

black fades and the fit to the bodies leaves to be desired. Those

failings in no way affect the picture quality, mind you.

For me, those lenses were a godsend when money was a bit tight as

each cost me about 1/3 of a Leica 'cron in excellent condition (and

be advised that you need the appropriate adapter from screw to

bayonnet for use on an M; Voigt makes excellent ones). They now

reside on my IIIf. You can find them on Ebay for about $250 each and

that cannot be beaten.

I have had excellent service from TRUCOLOR in Hackensack. Their web

M6 TTL and LTM IIIF; the former with 35 or 50 'cron, the latter with

Voigt Ultron or Nokton. Love them both.

I am assuming shot #1 was intended with cameraman as main sub. If

so, I think it is valid from a color balance and surely from a

compositional pov. I woould have preferred to have had the main

interest reversed.

Shot #2, I love. It is well composed, with nice color balance and

intriguing.

BTW, your Hassy book is my bible when it come to my Hassy (501CM).

Some of the shots in there are simply beautiful.
