Me too this is a stunning lens for landscapes, I found difficult to handle in city. I let it go I will buy next one before my next vacation if I will have any.

Attila,

I have a chance to buy one of these and have a couple of questions if you would be so good as to advise :

1. I've just ordered a silver Voigtlander Color-Ultron 50/1.8 (PK mount & infinity) for US$180 - is this a decent lense & price ?

2. I'd really like the silver Voigtlander Super Wide Heliar 15/4.5 (including 15mm black viewfinder) for US$460 but it's in L39 mount - can I get an adapter for this to convert this to PK mount or only M42 ? Is the price OK ?

Thanks.

Why is the hood disarranged? Doesn't it crew in deep enough? That would cause problems with focus.

I can answer that:

1. OK price. Not good, but not terrible (especially as the prices of the Color Ultron is on the rise).

2. No, not possible, flange focal distance is too short. Price seems to be a bit on the high side.

Thanks Rawhead - your immediate reply is really much appreciated ! I'll order the 50 and see if I can get the price down on the 15.

Is the whole lens not in place, see the focus mark?

Of course it isn't. That's a fixed hood, so the position of the hood already indicates that something is not right there. Wink
