stunsworth Posted August 20, 2010 Share #1 Posted August 20, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Picked this up from Geoff H on the LUG... New Voigtlander 75mm 1.8 M lens. The Heliar Classic. I think the price - 795 AUD - may be wrong, but an interesting lens none the less. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 Hi stunsworth, Take a look here New - Voigtlander 75mm f1.8 M lens. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
hoppyman Posted August 20, 2010 Share #2 Posted August 20, 2010 Estimated price is correct Steve. That includes AUS Goods &Services Tax (10%) Trying to borrow one on release for testing against my superb Summicron 75 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
250swb Posted August 20, 2010 Share #3 Posted August 20, 2010 Fingers crossed it performs well. The 75mm LTM f2.5 Heliar is a terrific lens so I'm looking forward to this. Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_n Posted August 20, 2010 Share #4 Posted August 20, 2010 Tom Abrahamsson says it's size is roughly between the Leica 75/1.4 and 75/2. He has some pictures from the Heliar 1.8 on flickr. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidigital Posted August 21, 2010 Share #7 Posted August 21, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) From Tom's pictures on Flickr, the rendering of the lens looks a lot like the images produced by the Nokton 50 1.1. The Voigtlander signature seems to be a little flatter with very quick transitions from in- to out-of-focus. Kurt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
biglouis Posted August 22, 2010 Share #8 Posted August 22, 2010 From Tom's pictures on Flickr, the rendering of the lens looks a lot like the images produced by the Nokton 50 1.1. The Voigtlander signature seems to be a little flatter with very quick transitions from in- to out-of-focus. Kurt I'm completely unimpressed by the pictures shown on Tom's site - no slight to Tom's picture taking ability - I just don't see anything special in this lens. I hope I am proved wrong!

rosuna Posted August 22, 2010 Share #9 Posted August 22, 2010 "Classic" seems to mean "low contrast" here. I am not interested at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhild Posted August 22, 2010 Share #10 Posted August 22, 2010 I´m sure it can´t beat the Leica 2/75 asph which I own already, to late... Jo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
H. James Wolf Posted August 22, 2010 Share #11 Posted August 22, 2010 If it is low contrast in the same way a Summilux 75 is low contrast, this will be a good lens for film and digital. It's easier to add contrast with an enlarger or a computer than it is to take contrast away IMHOP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adan Posted August 22, 2010 Share #12 Posted August 22, 2010 Per Steve Gandy's description at Cameraquest: "designed to be noticeably softer wide open for portraits". Too bad. That, plus the crippled close-focus limit (.9 meters vs .7 for the 75 'cron) make this a non-starter for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
4X5B&W Posted August 23, 2010 Share #13 Posted August 23, 2010 Larger than my 75 Cron ASPH, and softer........ no thanks. All of a sudden the Cron ASPH is looking like a classic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_n Posted August 24, 2010 Share #14 Posted August 24, 2010 I agree with all of the 75/2 owners. I won't be trading in my Summicron either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bertolotti Posted September 7, 2010 Share #15 Posted September 7, 2010 Anyway, another smart announcement from CV... 1,8 vs. 2 is probably not significant for who has (or has the money for) a Cron 75 asph: but I confess that should this lens had been available when I bought my Summarit 75... I could have been tempted or anyway, I would have waited for some serious feedback/comparision. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug_m Posted September 9, 2010 Share #16 Posted September 9, 2010 I dont know anything about the Voitlander 75/ 1.8 but the 75 Cron is one spectacular lens. The 75 Cron draws portraits better than just about any lens I have ever used. And it is killer on the M9. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
holmes Posted September 10, 2010 Share #17 Posted September 10, 2010 No interest. I'll stick with my 75 f 1.4, with sliding lens hood. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel kk Posted October 30, 2010 Share #18 Posted October 30, 2010 Heliar lens, a portrait lens of great renown. This Voigtlander heliar classic 75mm f/1.8 lens does render a pleasant bokeh and colour, indeed. ________________ Daniel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulev Posted November 8, 2010 Share #19 Posted November 8, 2010 I did stumble upon this Flickr page of Robert Chisholm and there are some nice pictures taken with this lens ! Especially love the Black n whites of the little girl on the grass. Rgds Ulev Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
