Which one? Nikkor 35mm 1.4, Nikkor 24mm 1.4 or Nokton 25mm 0.95

I'm looking to buy something in this focal range for my GH2 and AF100. Which one would you get?
 
Depends... Are you only going to shoot M4/3, or at some point do you think you might own a different camera in the future with a larger sensor?
 
I would love to see a side by side of the Nokton next to the Panasonic 24mm f1.4. 1/2 the price and you get the benefits of an electronic connection. Unlikely, but anyone out there own both? :)
 
Besides the Nokton being 1.12 stops faster, the build quality, macro focusing distance, stepless aperture, and long focus throw are more than worth the price difference. Optically, I can't say which one's better at a give aperture.
 
The Nokton every time. Amazing lens. Though mine's not stepless - MKfotos have you got a superior version or did you have it modded?
 
NOKTOR hands down. My work horse. A normal lens on the AF or GH. Mine's not stepless either. Half stop steps. Great for low-light night shots, no talent roasting ever required.
 
Ah, sorry, my bad, 1AM and all. Mine's not de-clicked, I confused that feature with the 12mm 1.6 which is stepless.
 
+1 on Noktor. LOVES that lens! I shot at f5.6 all day with that lens today and everything locked in so nicely. Yeah, it's got beautiful bokeh too, for sure but it performs beautifully all around
