Voigtlander 35/2.5 Color Skopar W/NW

[Dennis.Carlson]

dennis, that backside tailslide photo is perfect.

i added a hood to my skopar and it felt (and looked) much more balanced while mounted on my M2. might serve the same purpose on your M7.

p.s. followed you on tumblr, looking forward to more of your work.

Thanks for the info on the hood, I'm thinking I'll get one soon.

Thanks for the kind words, I followed you back as well. I like your tumblr a lot. If you want, check out my youtube as well.

There's one for sale right now - and it's even in Texas. It's a sign!

Helen,

I sold a 50/2.5 Color Skopar. I do not like changing lenses. I like the 35/2.5, so I sold the 50/2.5!

Backside tailslide is one of the nicest looking trick when properly done, great photo ! I have quite the same problem of "balance" with my Bessa R2M but it's slightly better with the hood -and better looking too.

My latest taken with 35mm f2.5 Color Skopar on a Bessa R2.

I shot this lens almost exclusively on an R and R3a. I'm regretting how much HP5 I shot with the both of them, though (I much prefer it on 120). The last of the 3 was on Neopan 400, one of my favorites for people.

Hello All - I'm new to the forums and soon to be new to the 35mm f/2.5. My copy should arrive on Tuesday afternoon and after looking through this thread I can't wait to start using it! There is an incredibly talented pool of photographers in this thread and I lost count of new people and contacts I started following on Tumblr/flickr because of it.

I have stuck to my Bessa R/Jupiter 8 combo almost exclusively when shooting film this past summer and I am really falling in love with the rangefinder approach to shooting. I can't wait to see where it goes when I finally use some nice glass!

Update: my "Excellent" copy of this lens showed up this afternoon from KEH and it is spotless. There is a bit of wear on the lens cap (that I will lose anyway) but other than that, it is perfect. I took it out for a joy walk earlier tonight and shot a roll and a half of Tri-X. It's light weight, short focus throw, and general smooth operation was a real pleasure to use. I am already digging this BessaR/35mm combo and will post some photos when I develop and scan another batch of film.

Edit for photos:
