Voigtlander 15 f4.5 VM

I am very happy using this lens. Thanks for your comments.

 

Unfortunately, with my m9, the experience was disappointing for the first version, and better for the second but still not acceptable. That does not mean your results cannot be satisfying. Enjoy!

The photo is titled “Disorientation”, which is a hint. ;-)

When taken looking straight up, which way is down?

Now, you have a horizontally hanging lamp. Quite disorientating....

Welcome to the forum Pedrofiz. Please post some photos. Why do you like the lens.

One of our regular contributors to the landscape subform, Vieri, is very accomplished with this lens.

And the second one.

The quality is very poor because I can only post pictures less than 500k.

Hello Pedrofiz,

 

Nice photos.

 

In my experience of the Super-Wide-Heliar 15mm, the perspective is not the same as yours in first picture (in gallery).

Straight lines remain straight and not bent in .

Crop ?

 

What's your camera ?

I bought a used copy of this lens yesterday to use it on my M10. There is little play on the lens mount though which I hadn't noticed before buying it. My summicron-c 40mm does the same and it annoys the heck out of me.

 

Performance wise, it is a very sharp lens and I am quite impressed.

I have a V.1 (LTM) and V.3.  The 3 solves the slight edge color cast seen occasionally in certain shots on the 1, but does so at the expense of size and weight.  As a travel lens I still prefer the 1, since it's not a lens I use much, and thus its tiny footprint is appreciated while PP to get rid of the cast, if needed, isn't a huge bother given the small number of shots I take with it.  It's also the lens I choose when shooting my Nex6, where it substitutes for a 21mm (a favorite length with full-frame) and does not show any cast thanks to the crop. 

 

When I intend doing a lot of 15mm shots on full-frame, I grab the 3.   The 1 is coded as a 21 pre-ASPH Elmarit; I haven't seen the need to code the 3 at all.
