Today I was comparing lenses with a friend. He just had bought a Sony A7. Nice camera and we were switching voightländer and leica lenses on M and Sony.

 

One lens did not fit on my M240: The voightländer 15mm new style. ( see screenshot. ) The bayonet went into the mouth of my M, but I could not turn the lens so that the bayonet nob clicked into its place. The voightländer Nokton 1,4 40mm did not give any trouble.

 

Anyone have a clue what is the matter?

An example of result with the Voigtlander lens. Documentation of an art installation. After post processing... And with the help of some fog...

Have you dropped the lens? A bent lug will do this.

 

Thanks Jaap for your suggestion but no. Not that I know of. It fitted in the mount with great difficulty. I did not want to use force, so whenn I could not turn the lens into the click I gave up .

 

Maybe somebody else ( it was a second hand lens ) made that mistake. I could see nothing wrong with the bayonet, but I imagine how small such tollerances can be.
