Hank Taylor Posted June 22, 2011 Share #1  Posted June 22, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Has anyone tried shooting with the Skopar 25mm and the M9.  After looking at several shots taken with my old Leica II D and the 25mm I'm thinking on trying it with the M9 with adapter, Just love the color this lens produces, or was it the Kodak Ektar 100?  Hank Welcome, dear visitor!

Advertisement Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Hi Hank Taylor, Take a look here Voigtlander Skopar 25mm. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
johnwolf Posted June 22, 2011 Share #2  Posted June 22, 2011 Hank, beautiful, smooth colors. I assume it's the Snapshot, right? I just got one as an experiment and use it with an M9. Experiment, because I don't usually shoot this wide. It's not rangefinder coupled, but I use it with an external finder and zone focusing. I'm amazed how little distortion there is. I think it's definitely worth getting an adapter.  John Welcome, dear visitor!

delander †Posted June 22, 2011 Share #3  Posted June 22, 2011 I have one and use it on my IIIg and M9 with adapter ring. It is a great small lens. I also have the 24 elmarit ASPH, which is much bigger and not that different.  Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archiver Posted June 22, 2011 Share #4 Â Posted June 22, 2011 I have the 25/4P, which is rangefinder coupled, but I believe it has the same optical design. The lens does have a red edge on the left, but it is not too bad under most circumstances, especially when you select a lens like the 24/2.8 in the M9's menu. Â Those Ektar shots are gorgeous. The M9 won't produce colour exactly like that, not without some tweaking. I find that the Zeiss 25/2.8 is sharper at f4 than the 25/4P, but that is to be expected. The Skopar is a really nice, compact lens that can quite easily work on the M9 as a daytime lens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Taylor Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share #5  Posted June 23, 2011 Gentleman, that you for your input good info, will differently get an adapter for the M9. Yes I'm afraid the color that I use to get with Kodak Ektar was terrific. Will have to occasionally start using my film leica again.  Best regards  Hank Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mylek Posted July 7, 2011 Share #6 Â Posted July 7, 2011 Make sure you buy the VC 35/135 type II adaptor. You will get the 35 mm frame line and if you code it, access to the 24mm f/3.8 to correct it. I did and i didn't get any red color. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
