Voigtlander Color-Skopar 21mm f/4


Recommended Posts

Does anybody know if it is possible to use the Voigtlander Color-Skopar 21mm f/4 P Lens on the new Leica Cl digital. I got the adapter, but I am not sure if the lens stick too deep into the cameraboddy

It is impossible to hit the sensor with any lens mounted on the correct adapter.

Problem is hitting the innards of the camera around the sensor. Some lenses protrude too deeply to be mounted on the CL. Super-Angulon 21/3.4 is a good example. I suspect the Elmar (not Macro-Elmar) 90/4 collapsible is in the same case when it is collapsed but i did not check on my CL.

Not sure if the width of the mount is related. The Sony mount is narrower for instance but i can use the SA 21/3.4 with no problem on my A7s mod.

The wider the entrance the less the chance of hitting something. Works for me when driving a car, works for me when mounting a lens ;)

Well imagine a small car with a big door and a narrow seat then. The wide entrance is of little help on the CL because the lens hits the innards of the camera around the sensor. On the contrary, there is plenty of room to mount the SA 21/3.4 on Sony cameras, at least my A7s mod. A little car with a small door and a big seat so to speak :D.

"No problem with the M version of the CV 21/4 on the Leica M - Adapter L. My favorite 21 on the CL"

 

How are the corners, LCT?  I was thinking of replacing my 21mm f2.8 ZM with a combination of the CV 21mm f1.4 [travel kit] and the 21mm f1.8 [low light, in combination with 35mm f1.2 and 75mm f2 Summicron].

Corners are rather soft below f/5.6 with the Skopar 21/4 but my other 21mm M lenses (SEM 21/3.4 asph, Elmarit 21/2.8 asph) don't do significantly better on the CL. Otherwise there is some normal vignetting but no red edges at all with the Skopar.

Since you're using a crop sensor, consider the ZM 4,5/21. The corner color issues are moot.

Did you try the ZM 21/4.5 on the CL? Just curious.

I haven’t; just postulating. Saw decent results on an M8, as this sensor is smaller, it stands to reason

The Zeiss 4,5/21 C Biogon is looking very good on the TL2.

Good sharpness and very little color shift

At f/4.5, it only starts to drop detail and slightly shift to magenta ( on RHS ) in the outer ~ 500 horizontal pixels .

 

Also the 2,8/35 C-Biogon is looking stellar.

Both seem ahead of the 2.8/28 Elmarit-M ASPH (1st ) which is okay but comparatively down on micro contrast and fine detail.
