Voigtlander 40mm and 58mm SL lenses

[Richard Griffith]

I have not seen much written here recently about these 2 lenses. Does anyone have any recent feedback and perhaps some photos. I'm thinking of getting both to go with my FM3a. The 58mm to partner the 28mm f2.8 ais, and the 40mm for when going out with just one lens

both are supposed to be very good

the 58mm is a pentax favorite

the 40mm is not as popular but still a neat pancake lens

I use the 58mm on my Nikon D200.
I just got it a couple months ago, but I'm really enjoying it.

Doesn't help a lot, but here's a shot from a little project I'm doing on local winery.

I've used the 58 SLII lens with my Nikon DSLR (87mm equivalent) for portraits... splendid combination! And since the SLII lenses have the metering chip, all my DSLR metering functions work with this lens.

I use the 40 SLII as a standard lens for my FM2 for the last 12 months. Very satisfied with it, great performance, compact size, robust construction. I use it with the D70s sometimes but almost stopped shooting digital since I got it. This lens brought new life to the FM2 body.
You can find pictures in my gallery shot with this lens.
