Hi,
I have no experience with the Voigtländer lenses, but I have read very good reviews on this one.
What is your opinion? Do you have some good sample pictures? What is its best application in your view?
I see this lens is available for Nikon AI and for Leica mount, are they optically the same?
Thanks. |

Same 6 elements in 5 groups and as far as I know the only differency from reflex mount to leica thread mount is the minimum focus distance (0.7 - 1m).
It's a portrait lens, great rendering and great bokeh with a good sharpness. A friend of mine just lent me a copy in pentax mount, but I still haven't any good sample shots

I like this lens very much. IMHO it's definitely a keeper.
Here is another example which I posted here also earlier (Ricoh GXR-M), clickable for larger view:

I.e., the S-M-C Macro-Takumar 1:4/100 is supposed to be Heliar optical formula. Besides great reputation, it has 5 elements in 3 groups...

Good to know the S-M-C Macro-Takumar 1:4/100 is a Heliar. I will try to buy one if I find one in good price.

Good lens. Very small (LTM). Nice and sharp. I've replaced mine with the leica Summarit, but it's more money
