Can the Voigtlander super wide-he liar 15mm F4.5 version 1 be used on the Leica SL2 without any issues?

I dont think so, given it had issues with m240, so probably it's going to be even worse.  Very strong magenta corners.

Thanks for the answer. I would not worry too much about the magenta corners as I shoot black and white. I am just worried about the sensor to the lens distance issue to avoid damaging the sensor.

You'll have no problem because the 15/4.5 works fine on the Leica M, which has flange to focal plane registration of 27.8 mm, whereas the SL's is 45 mm so the 15/4.5's rear flange won't reach the SL's sensor.  I've used Voigtlander 10/5.6 Ultrawide Heliar, whose rear element protrudes further, with both my SL and my M10 without a problem.

I did try the lens on the SL2-S today and surprisingly not magenta corners as on the Leica M240.

Thanks! Thats nice to know. They usually sell for relatively low price given the magenta, but is a great little lens.

Are you 100% sure? This would be amazing because I just ordered the lens and was worried about this issue. I want to use it for video on the sl2s and also on my m8.

Please note post #5 in this thread, which gives the reason why.
