rramesh Posted April 1, 2022 Share #41  Posted April 1, 2022 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) @Erato, could you take a photo of the mount and share? Want to know if there is a coding groove on the flange. Also what frame lines does it bring up? 35 or 50. Edited April 1, 2022 by rramesh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted April 1, 2022 Posted April 1, 2022 Hi rramesh, Take a look here 40mm 2.8 Heliar aspherical VM and LTM from Voigtlander. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Erato Posted April 1, 2022 Share #42  Posted April 1, 2022 (edited) 18 hours ago, lct said: Interesting indeed. My copy for VM-E adapter is very sharp with swirling bokeh. Would you mind to show some out of focus rendering if you have some time? Just curious. It's relatively hard to get a swirly bokeh while it compares with other lenses that I owned. The followings are wide-opened, FYR. Welcome, dear visitor!

shirubadanieru Posted April 1, 2022 Share #48  Posted April 1, 2022 I’m gonna check this lens in person tomorrow, if anyone who already has it could share some portrait shots or close-up bokeh shots that would be great. The rollei 40mm f2.8 was such a great lens with a beautiful rendering, wondering if this can offer a similar rendering especially when it comes to the bokeh department. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The screw you're showing is too far from it to get in the way. Edited April 1, 2022 by lct Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 1, 2022 Share #56  Posted April 1, 2022 23 hours ago, Erato said: Just arrived today. This lens is remarkable and it's a lovely pancake. Voigtländer designed Heliar in 1900.  As you can see, the size of this lens is unbelievably tiny nowadays and it is powerful from my first-day impression. FYR -- A Short History of the Heliar Lenses ☚ please tap on it for further reference. Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!     Thank you for posting these snaps, the lens looks really good........I will definitely be ordering one and hopefully I will be able to pick it up on a US trip later this month. I already have the VC f1.4 40mm Nokton and I like this focal length a lot, more though I like compact lenses on a M camera. The lack of 6 bit encoding isn't a worry either, coding for anything above 35mm makes little or no difference as far as I am concerned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis Posted April 1, 2022 Share #59 Â Posted April 1, 2022 (edited) What is the right way to get 35mm frame lines if I want to use the VM version of the lens on an M10? Thank you! Edited April 1, 2022 by Dennis Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

General answer is filing out the flange like other M-mount 40mm lenses (link) but i have no experience with this Heliar model. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
