However, I found the results to be almost identical on both lenses. The corners of both lenses will show a somewhat swirly-looking rendering at wider apertures and both lenses have a strong cat’s eye effect.
The 40mm f1.2 gives slightly better sunstars but both lenses handle flare well with minimal ghosting. – Voigtlander Nokton 40mm f/1.2.
