jaapv #1 Posted August 5, 2018 Color-Heliar 75-2.5 Rather pleased with this lens. Together with the Color-Skopar 25-4.0 it makes for a miniature powerful system Hello guest!

HeinzX #7 Posted August 6, 2018 What´s about the Voigtländer Ultron 35/1,7 ? Is anyone there using this lens together with the CL ? Obviously Mr. Huff does use this lens. And does anyone know, how it performs together with the SL ? I am really thinking about it, because I use this two systems. Or would I be better off with the tiny old canadian Leica lens 35/1,4 - which I had long time ago with a M6 and I really loved with this camera, which was sold many years ago.

ramarren #8 Posted August 6, 2018 I have the Voigtländer Color Skopar 28mm f/3.5 and have tested it used on the CL. Coupled with the lens profile for the Summaron 28mm f/5.6, it produces outstanding image quality and is light and small. BUT I prefer using the Leica Elmarit-R 28mm f/2.8 instead, despite that it is larger, heavier, and requires a longer lens adapter. This latter is a bit easier to focus critically because it is a bit more contrasty than the Color Skopar 28, focuses closer, and in general produces even nicer image quality. Its ergonomics suit me better too: it provides a nice, meaty thing to hold the camera steadily with, the focusing ring and aperture ring are ideally placed for easy operation when looking through the viewfinder, and overall it's just an even better made lens. The example I have cost me something less than $600 with caps and hood, and is worth every penny of that price. That said, the Color Skopar 28 is my favorite of the Voigtländer Color Skopars, in addition to the 50mm f/2.5, and I like using them most on the Leica M-D and M4-2. Having had all of the Color Skopars at one point or another, plus the Heliar 15/4.5 Mk 1, Ultron 28/2, Nokton 40/1.4 MC, and Nokton 50/1.5 ASPH (LTM), the Color Skopar 28 and 50 are the two that remain in my equipment list.

JayBird #10 Posted August 7, 2018 I think I will need to invest in some of the manual lenses. My local camera shop was out of the M adapter when I bought the CL. They are going to call when they come in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scott kirkpatrick #11 Posted August 7, 2018 Here's the Voightlaender 21/4 Color-Skopar. It's a tiny little thing, even when embedded in the M-L adapter.

lct #12 Posted August 7, 2018 Another vote for the CV 21/4. My default compact WA on the CL. Bit soft at f/4 and plenty sharp above. Not that i dislike my Leica 21mm lenses (21/2.8 asph, 21/3.4 asph, 21/3.4) but the latter cannot be used on the CL and i find the other ones too bulky on this small camera.

Boojay #13 Posted August 7, 2018 (edited) Another plus for the 21mm f/4, not very wide on the CL but light and neat package, one from this morning and one to show on the body. Hello guest!

bocaburger #14 Posted August 10, 2018 The 75/2.5 is a really nice optic! I never had any use for 75mm on full-frame 35, but when I got an Epson R-D1 I wanted something to equate to my oft-used 90mm FOV, so I picked up the CV for a pittance. Ended up serving me throughout my tenure with the M8 as well. It was worth so little I decided to keep it, and eventually it found a place in my NEX6 kit. BTW I find the 12mmm and 15mm work well on the NEX so those would be proper candidates for a test-run on a CL I would imagine. V.1 15 is fine, no color casts, so no need for the bulky V3. 28/1.9 and 90/3.5 are two other of CV's finest. 1 gyoung reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
