Since I bought the Voigtlander Nokton 58mm f/1.4 (made by Cosina) which is based on Re.Auto-Topcor 58mm f/1.4 made by Topcon, I always wondered how the original compared to its new copy.

My curiosity and lust for lenses made my pull the ebay trigger on a used Re.Auto-Topcor 58mm f/1.4. The lens came with oily and stuck aperture blades, some dust and unfortunately cracked rubber focusing grip.

It took me more than 10 hours to disassemble the lens to it's bits and pieces, clean, lubricate and reassemble it. What a relieve completing this.
Tomorrow (Sunday) I will do some comparisons between the Voigtlander and the Topcor.

I look forward to your results. Which Nokton do you have, the original SL or the new SL2?

P.S. Time to update your signature
