Yippiieeehh!

I was able to pick up the Voigtländer Color-Ultron 1.4/50 AR lens from the local custom office. (Bloody customs, that thing cost me another 13 Euro customs and VAT! Thus I had to pay for the lens, shipping, customs and VAT € 51,- - so it has to go into cat. IV on my list. Mad )

The lens is like new, everything works fine and the glass is pristine.
The Roxsen adapter fits perfectly (even better than at my Rollei Planar, although it fits very well there, too).

The first shots this morning were really promising. Perfect metering with my EOS350D. Seems to be pretty sharp even when wide open. The highlight bokeh is neutral, like from a modern lens and thus not as creamy as we are used to from our "old" MF lenses. The circle it shows is very even, no ring but no getting softer towards the edges.

But, of course, it is much too early to come to a verdict...

Thanks, mates!

This is the lens at my EF/M:

It really is in mint condition!
And it looks pretty nice.

Yes, well, kind of. It's about one hour driving to Frankfurt.
