Peter G Posted January 14, 2021 Share #1  Posted January 14, 2021 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have a Voigtlander 35mm 1.2 Mk III lens fitted on my CL with the M-L adaptor. I set the lens detection to auto, in the menu, but I'm not convinced it is recognised as the shutter speed set seems too low. The lens is not in the dropdown menu as those are all Leica lenses. The photos look OK in Capture One, but I would like to check that I've picked the right settings for the camera to recognise the lens. Any ideas? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted January 14, 2021 Posted January 14, 2021 Hi Peter G, Take a look here How do get the CL to recognise a Voigtlander 35mm F1.2 III lens?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
lct Posted January 14, 2021 Share #2 Â Posted January 14, 2021 You could hand code the lens with the same code as a Leica lens, or set a user profile for it (i have one for the CV 35/1.4 v2), but beware that the CL corrects for distortion. Better choose a similar Leica lens re distortion then. Don't ask me which as i have no experience with the CV 35/1.2 v3 sorry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter G Posted January 14, 2021 Author Share #3 Â Posted January 14, 2021 Thanks Ict, I could set the nearest Leica 35mm lens, which is the 1.4 ASPH. Do you think that would work better? I'll give it a go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should know how the CV 35/1.2 v3 behaves re distortion for that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommonego@gmail.com Posted January 14, 2021 Share #5  Posted January 14, 2021 I wouldn't worry about it, manually setting the lens profile every time you change a lens is a pain. I have the pre asph 35 Summilux that doesn't have the lens profile settings. I tried to remember to set the lens profiles, too many things to do. None of my other Leica lenses have markings either, I am fine with out using the lens profiles. I would do a couple of photo sessions with out the profile, then set the profile and see if the images are any better. Unless you lens has some linear distortion the lens profiles don't do much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also that it is a pain, at least a slow down to manually set a profile for the lens.  Zitat   Edited January 15, 2021 by tommonego@gmail.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter G Posted January 15, 2021 Author Share #8 Â Posted January 15, 2021 Will do, many thanks. IÂ took it out today and it worked fine in the 'auto detect' mode even though no specific lens was showing. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
