Hi Reimann, can you please tell me, which the diameter of the Voigtländer lens cap is? I do have this lens for decades - but lost my lens cap. Want to buy a new (used) one, and need to know, if the diameter is ca. 50/51mm - thanks in advance!
Fun fact: Voigtlander dates back to 1756, manufacturing laboratory and optical instruments, and produced the first all-metal daguerreotype camera and first Petzval lens, both in 1840.
This is my favorite 35mm lens, and it’s the one I use most frequently, whether on the MD262, M10R, or M11. Its incredibly refined design and performance that far exceeds expectations make it absolutely irresistible to me.Additionally, the LH1 lens hood is fully compatible, making it an excellent companion.
Been considering buying a Canon P recently, and am still deciding on a lens. This one is definitely at the top of my list now after watching your full video on it!
@@cartercrawford9066 you will not regret getting a Canon P! It’s just as good as any other rangefinder in my opinion. The Voigtlander has been a joy to use as well!
The color-skopar is 35mm - the M5 OVF is being designed for 50mm, that's why the M2 came afterwards the M3, into ca. 57. The Leica Summaron 35/3.5 wideangle lens was being released for instance with "googles", so it adapted the OVF for the wider 35mm FoV, back into its day.
Good video as usual! I have exactly this combo - its my only 35mm lens for my Canon P. I love it. To begin with I used the Canon P with an old Jupiter 8 I had from a Zorki-4. I recently I got the wonderful Canon 50mm/f1,4 LTM for my Canon P.
Thanks for another great video. I use this lens as well as his brother the Voigtlander Color Skopar 50mm f/2.5. Both are exelent lenses and very affordables.
@@ReimannPembroke If you want to upgrade your Canon P, I recommend you to try the Voigtlander Bessa R, no R2, R3 or R4, the original one. Despite this camera is plastic (externally), internally is a very good machine. The camera uses ltm lenses, so you can continue using your lenses. It has light meter, self timer (is the only Bessa that has self timer) and of course 1/2000. The best part is very affordable. I have one of them over a year and I love it.
@@ReimannPembroke Bessa R is a mechanical camera with vertical traveling shutter curtains (from 1 sec to 1/2000 + B). Battery is only to power the light meter wich is pretty accurate.
Great photos! I had this lens with the same haze issue. Unfortunately the haze is in the cemented element group and you can’t get to it. Don’t even bother trying to take it apart.
@@jasonabrahamsmith oh noooo! Thanks for the pointer. Honestly it hasn’t been too bad so I might just use it until it is really degrading the image quality.
Exact same combo I've been using for a few years now 😂 I remember when I first got the lens I was kinda shocked at how low friction the focus ring was compared to my 50mm. Took me a few to get used to that. As for the haze, there are people that pay good money for filters to put on the front to do what that lens can do naturally lol.
Very cool lens! The Jupiter 12 has some charm as it's a copy of a very old Zeiss Biogon design. As far as the vignetting of RF lenses on a digital sensor, it is definitely the angle of the light. On film a piece of silver-halogen grain can get light from an oblique angle just fine. On a digital sensor, think of each photo receptor as a "well", and you want the light to reach the bottom of it. It's design tof the light to come straight in, due to all the layers of filtering (bayer matix, UV, IR, ....). Modern lenses for those camera are built with that in mind, but very old classic designs obviously do not
@@ReimannPembroke One of the reasons why, when Leica made the M8 (their first real digital one?), they tried to not have some of those filters on top of the sensor I guess
I’ve got that pancake one but for the screw mount that the early Cosina Voigtlander bodies came with. I absolutely love it and want to start using it with a Fuji or Nikon Z camera. Is that a dram too far?
I’ve been using my Canon P for a few days now, and I’ve noticed that the lens isn’t straight. It’s a bit too far to the left. Initially, I thought it was just my lens or camera, but it turns out that it’s not because I’ve noticed that you’re experiencing the same issue as well. Why is that? Do you have any ideas? Lol.
What is your favorite camera/lens combo?

Always a treat to get settled in, skip through my TH-cam script, and find you have posted a video.

@@musa7606 very good info! I don’t think most people realize how old the Voigtlander name is!
@@ReimannPembroke It might be one of the oldest operating names in optics, predating Baush + Lomb and Carl Zeiss by almost 100 years.
@ it’s so insane to think about!

@@大園新之助 it is a really wonderful lens!
I just bought a Bessa R with this model attached to it. I'm so excited to use it!!

Color-skopar is the best. Been using mine for over two years on my M5 and love it.
@@Ethanhansen_photo they’re great lenses! I bet it looks great on the M5!
Have the same setup. The Voitlander and the M5 makes a great pair.
@ I need to see if I can find what that looks like. I bet it looks super cool!

Voigtlander made great lenses. Hopefully Cosina stays true to the tradition.
