gvaliquette Posted July 7, 2017 Share #1 Â Posted July 7, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Has anyone used the 12mm Heliar on the SL? Â I have the 1st generation screw-mount lens (with screw-M adapter) and like it for occasional use on my M9 and M240. Â Any issues on the SL? Â Thanks in advance.

thighslapper Posted July 7, 2017 Share #2 Â Posted July 7, 2017 The Current Voigt 12/5.6 works fine on the SL. Not sure if the older version is unchanged from an optical point of view though. Â Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gvaliquette Posted July 8, 2017 Author Share #3  Posted July 8, 2017 Thanks, thighslapper.  The first (screwmount) and second (M-mount) 12mm/f5.6 are supposed to be the same optical formula.  The third version of the 12mm/f5.6 seems to be different, with a more retro-focus-like design.  I presume that by "Current", you mean version 3.  Correct?  Thanks  Guy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thighslapper Posted July 8, 2017 Share #4  Posted July 8, 2017 no....... I have V2. It has peripheral colour casts on the M240 but seems well behaved on the SL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vieri Posted July 8, 2017 Share #5  Posted July 8, 2017 Hello Guy,  I bought all three Voigtlander ultra-wides, 10, 12 and 15mm, last versions (v. III for both the 12 and 15mm). I also has version I of the 12mm, the screw-mount one that you also have. The last version of the 12mm is night and day better than v. I. Much sharper deep into the corners, no colour cast to be seen, almost distortion-free, great built. If you do landscape photography like I do, you can even use 100mm filters with it through the Vietnamese Bombo adapter  Highly recommended. I ended up selling the 12mm and keeping the 10 and 15mm since they were too close to each other to keep them all.  Best regards,  Vieri Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
