BTW ... is that the Vintage Line 35/1.5 ASPH Type II that is rendering more purple?

I wonder if you have some sort of ad blocker.

It's just an image on a server. Not even shown via a website.

Yes, the Vintage Line is (iiuc) designed to "allow" for more aberrations / less correction, by intent.

Without pixel-peeping, the bokeh on #2 feels smoother. Not sure how revealing this scene is though. I'd personally take a few more realistic photos. Otherwise you're running the risk of over-optimising your choice based on a situation which may not be relevant for practical shooting.

Yea. I have proper shots on my review of the lens.

This was something I just posted to see clarity, contrast and rendering of text on white.

Here is how the nokton performs in a more realistic scenario.
