I've used it only on the M10.

But of note, the Voigtlander 75mm f/1.8 Heliar Classic is virtually a direct copy (albeit with modern coatings) of the Leitz 73mm Hektor f/1.9 from 1931 - and itself is also closer to 73mm actual focal length than 75mm (marginally wider field of view by about 2% all around, when compared to 75mm APO-Summicron at 3m/10 feet)

Compare the 6 elements in 3 cemented doublets designs:

...and here is the Leitz Hektor 73mm layout

Since my experience is only on digital, I withhold further comments on the Heliar Classic until I know the specific question(s).
