ropo54 Posted January 15, 2017 Share #1 Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Just curious, has anyone had experience using Voigtlander lenses on the T/TL? (I see that Louis uses a Nikkor 50mm 1.4, which looks excellent. And, Rick P has used the Zeiss Sonnar 50 1.5 with terrific results. I recently started using a Zeiss Planar 50 2.0, which has been quite nice, but was wondering about some faster lenses, as well, thinking that if I were to later acquire the SL 601 they'd serve dual purposes). Specifically, I was considering the Voigtlanders 35mm 1.2 and the 50mm 1.5. Thank you for your thoughts.

silver6bullet Posted January 21, 2017 Share #8 Posted January 21, 2017 I wish I knew how to post a picture here. Soft, as in the bokeh, or whatever the lense is focused on? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ropo54 Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share #10 Posted January 21, 2017 I wish I knew how to post a picture here. Soft, as in the bokeh, or whatever the lense is focused on? Soft as in lacking sharpness and crispness in the image's detail, when used wide open. I'd be curious as to the bokeh as well. Thanks, Rob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
evo111 Posted October 6, 2024 Share #11 Posted October 6, 2024 Hello - I am looking for a 28mm lens to go on my Leica TL2. I have the Leica L to M Mount converter so looking at the Voigtlander lenses. Can someone help advise should I be looking at the 18mm Voigtlander lens as I assume its designed to work on a full frame sensor so will become effectively 28mm when i put it on my TL2 crop sensor camera? Sorry for the basic question, still finding my way around the topic and learning more each time. Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, an 18mm lens is going to get you to the 28mm field of view you’d have on a full frame camera. As for Voightlander, I got my first yesterday, a 40mm f1.2 and I’m very impressed so far. Both the image quality and the build are without doubt absolutely first rate. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
evo111 Posted October 6, 2024 Share #13 Posted October 6, 2024 Thanks for the swift reply, most helpful. 👍 Does anyone have any experience of using the 18mm voitlander f2.8 color-skopa on a Leica T / TL2? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommonego@gmail.com Posted October 7, 2024 Share #14 Posted October 7, 2024 (edited) An 18mm Voigtlander f2.8 sounds interesting, but I can't find it in an M mount, only Fuji which won't convert to L mount. Since I have only seen it in Fuji, I am not sure it would be a full frame lens. I use a Zeiss 18mm Distagon f4, it is a bigish lens on my M8. For 18mm on my CL the 11-23 Super Vario Elmar which is an excellent lens, also kind of big. The 11-23 is slightly better than the Zeiss. Folks who have used the 18mm f2.8 TL have liked it, mostly for the focal length. Edited October 7, 2024 by tommonego@gmail.com 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted October 7, 2024 Share #15 Posted October 7, 2024 Nothing wrong with the 18-56 either. Despite some people apparently not liking it I find it a true Leica-level lens. Better than the 18 mm pancake. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
