Volna-9 vs. Voigtlander Nokton 58mm

[voe]

I friend of mine borrowed me his Voigtlander Nokton 58mm for a week and I decided to compare it's bokeh characteristics with my Volna-9.

The Voigtlander Nokton is an all metal, manual focus lens based on the famous Topcor 58mm f/1.4 optical design and is made by Cosina. AFAIK the lens is available in Nikon, Pentax mount only. Inside the lens there is a built in chip which provides the metering compatibility.

Since not many people own both lenses, I decided to share the result for those who are interested.
Needless to say, I used custom white balance, MLU with two seconds delay and the camera was on a tripod.

First test scene shot at f/16 for reference:
