brycewatana Posted March 13, 2012 Share #1 Posted March 13, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi there, I have been using M8 for several months now, and I am loving it. My biggest challenge with M8 is how to compose an image for each frame. As M8 is not full frame like M9, therefore I have been thinking of getting a wide angle lense to overcome this problem. I am currently using Voigtländer 35mm f/1.4 NOKTON. I know that I should get M9 and i would not have any problem, and yes I am saving my money towards M9. Does any know if it it possible to use Voigtlander Nokton 25mm f/0.95 MFT on M8? Thank you in advance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 Hi brycewatana, Take a look here M8 and Voigtlander Nokton 25mm f/0.95 MFT. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
ezc203 Posted March 13, 2012 Share #2 Posted March 13, 2012 Welcome to the Forum - Short and simply answer is: No - While the Voigtlander 25mm is an M-mount, I don't think it's range-finder-coupled. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted March 13, 2012 Share #3 Posted March 13, 2012 It is built to cover half frame sensors (17.30 x 13.00mm) so it would vignette a lot on the M8's (27 x 18.00mm) most probably. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted March 13, 2012 Share #4 Posted March 13, 2012 ...the Voigtlander 25mm is an M-mount... Are you sure? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim-St Posted March 13, 2012 Share #5 Posted March 13, 2012 The Nokton is an MFT mount and so will not fit on any M camera. There is however the Voigtlander 25mm f4 Color Skopar in M-mount, as well as its LTM predecessor the Snapshot Skopar, which will fit on an M with the appropriate adapter Hope that helps Jim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remember that they need to be coded to avoid cyan edges when used with a UV/IR filter. Regards, Jim (another Jim) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brycewatana Posted March 14, 2012 Author Share #7 Posted March 14, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thank you guys for your advice. As a new member here, I feel so welcome. Problem solved. I have decided to get the new Voigtlander Ultron 28mm F2.0. I also had a quick test with second hand of LEICA ELMARIT-M 1:2,8 28mm f/2.8 ASPH. I must admit that the Leica 28mm f/2.8 felt great on my M8, and the image quality of the test shot was brilliant on the LCD screen. However, since my deciding factor was based on price, I decided to purchase the new Voigtlander 28mm F2.0. I managed to get a good price with a local dealer. I was told that the image quality produced by both lenses on M8 is not much different. I hope I have made the right decision. Here are some test shots with the new Voigtalnder for you guys to comment. http://www.flickr.com/photos/62533503@N08/sets/72157629218354826/ Now I have to start saving towards the brand-new M9.

lct Posted March 14, 2012 Share #8 Posted March 14, 2012 Focus shift was a problem with the CV 28/2 i've tried. I would take a look at that if i were you. FWIW. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
