[poll] CV Lens Poll - What've you got? (up to 40mm)

[migtex]

with the exception of 35/1.7 LTM all the CV I've got are S mount, 21 and 28./3.5.
I must say I use mostly the CV21.
Got some pics on the RFF 2012 meeting in Istanbul with it. .

Have the 15mm f/4.5 and use on the M9 and M6

Superb lens once you get your head around Cornerfix - http://aperturepriority.co.nz/2012/05/07/15mm-voigtlander-super-wide-heliar-f4-5-asph-mk-1-3/

No worries though if you shoot in B&W....

The only CV lens I've got left that is wider than 50mm is the 35/1.2. Everything else is ZM. The only other CV lenses I have are longer than 50mm (75 and 90).

so far i have owned the cv...12/15/21/25/28/1.9/28/3.5/35/1.2/35/2.5/40/1.4/50/1.1/50/2.5/75/2.5/90/3.5...
oh, i had the 35/1.4 as well.

and i liked them all...

ha! many of us have owned so many CV lenses over the years! buy and sell, buy and sell.
I think thats why the OP had to emphasize what we currently own, otherwise we would be checking every box!

I've tried nearly all CV RF lenses. I really like most of them - the ones I still have - 15M, 21M, 35/1.7ltm, 35/1.2M, 40/1.4M and 50/1.5ltm. All are great! I'm surprised that Cosina doesnt make some of those ltm lenses like 35/1.7 and 50/1.5 - which I think are the better ones in it's line up. I probably use CV 50/1.5 more often than even my M-Hex 50/1.2!

I think you are interested in Leica mount only but I use a Voigtlander SL II 40/2 as my normal lens on my Pentax MX. Love it.

Me too - great combo

Had and tested several (15/4.5, 21/4, 35/1.2 and 40/1.4) and only kept the 12mm. The 12mm has no alternative and is sharper than the 15mm that is why I kept the 12mm. I sold the 21/4 when I got in stead the Russar 20mm and the CJ 25/2.8. The 35/1.2 of which I had two, didn't meet my preference of low weight small 35mm. When I sold the R-D1s I also sold of the 40mm since I preferred 35mm on my other camera's and its rendering was not for my taste.

i am really curious to see how the 50 1.5 vc compares to zeiss sonnar 50

 

[maddoc]

35/2.5 P II (well ... should arrive today). I had this lens before, sold it and now wanted one again because prices for older 35/2.0 Summicron lenses are insane ... I also had the 15/4.5 LTM, nice lens but I prefer the 21/3.4 as super-wide ...

 

[helen.HH]

At present TWO...
Two 35's ....the Nokton classic sc & the color skopar ltm

Their Both Compact, Sharp, & have signatures all their Own
The Nokton classic a more rounder fuller plane ...similar to a lux
The Color Skopar leaner with more contrast & Edge

 

[teleparallel]

My gear: 4/21 and 2.5/35 skopars. And a bessa, for the two. Time to time I wonder if a need anything else. Maybe speed. Maybe a 50. Oh well...

 

[shortstop]

Tiny nice Color Skopar 28/3,5

 

[slidesandthecity]

I'm a happy 28 3.5 owner.
