Voigtlander 15mm f4.5 SL lens in Nikon F Mount

[selma-1]

Is anyone out there using the Voigtlander 15mm f4.5 SL lens in Nikon F mount. Is anyone using this same lens with the Voigtlander F-S/C adapter for Nikon rangefinder mount to Nikon F Mount? Any pictures taken with this lens?

I dream of finding such a set up, would sell my LTM 15 in a heartbeat. Forget the heartbeat, a P Wave it would take me. Not that I need it, the 15 goes great on a Bessa L and that is small enough and light enough to call it a rear lens cap for the 15 (or the 25).

I was just wondering if I was the only one using this setup?

No, you are not the only one using it! I have the set-up and have been using it extensively. At the moment a friend has borrowed it and its attendant Nikon F. I tend to use either the15 or the 12 on a Black Dial S2 with a defunct rangefinder patch. They are hyper focal lenses anyway.
i did some shots with the 12 on a F2 with the BIG motor drive. It was a kit that had people staring at it and getting up close to see what it was - that's when you fired!
OK, a 12 or 15 are not portrait lenses!

Thanks Tom I am using the 15mm SL on my Nikon F with the Voigtlander prism cover and on my voigtlander R2S with the Voigtlander F-S/C adapter. I had sold my 2 Nikon S-2 some time ago as they were hard for me to focus and the viewfinder was not as bright as I liked. I live just to the south of you and have been to Vancover many times and to Victoria to visit Mike Symons. I am considering the 12mm SL. Any pictures taken with both and your input on the lenses?

If you go to "rapidwinder.com" and look at the links, there is a link to our "Flickr" site "T&Tand Mr B". look under the sets until you get to the "February is Tom's Nikon Rf month". There several shots with both the 12 and the 15mm lenses on the S2. They are extremely good performers and do feel more solid than the LTM mount lenses. I have not seen any difference in quality of image between LTM and SC mounted lenses, but I wasen't expecting that - as the formula for both versions is essentially the same.
