I took my new 40mm F2.8 Heliar VM/E lens out for a test drive today.

Seems like a useful compact street lens, but never got why there was not a conventional M RF coupled complete lens that made use of the optical cell ; only the VM-E adapter with mismatched nickel color fixed focus lens.

Thank you, cboy, your comment is sincerely appreciated.
I think people are the most fascinating of all photography subjects and the most difficult too. The trick is to get close enough to visually capture some sort of feeling for what's possibly going on in their mind without intruding into their life. It also helps a lot if the background is interesting as well.

This has got to be one of the strangest of Cosina's creations, needing that adapter to focus on the Sony.
Beautiful colors!

An Undiscovered Voigtlander 40mm 2.8 M-Mount Lens?
An Undiscovered Voigtlander 40mm 2.8 M-Mount Lens?
Not sure if this has been posted here before, but I discovered something on B&H the other day. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1091071-REG/voigtlander_ba428b_close_up_adapter_for_m.html Says it's a VM or M-mount lens with a Sony E mount adapter. Svelte lil guy, and neat looking too. Camera Quest says it's not able to be focused without a helicoid so it's essentially a fixed focus lens without one which is a bummer. Any thoughts?

Yep been around for a while. Just doesn’t get much attention as it’s such an odd little lens (essentially unusable on an M body).

Or the TechArt adapter (or its copies) for the Sony which would make it an AF collapsible lens.

ahh. I was wondering why it wasn't talked about. guess it's not as cool as I thought as a Sony only lens. Wonder why they teased us with a M mount that's unusable?

It's as Heliar as it gets though. The only other true Heliar in the CV lineup are the 50/3.5 and the 75/1.8.

Not so much that it's uncool; Mike's Japan shots using it are really great. It's just an odd bird without focusing helicoid, almost like a 'drunk project' at Cosina by the 'kids'. Shame that they didn't just concoct a helicoid adapter with an M mount on the male end just for it. But they already have a fast 40mm M.

oh sure. i guess i just meant cool personally as I don't use sony but I bet my bottom dollar its a cool and quirky lens to all Alpha shooters. yeah and dang this would have been a great lens on a CL or one of those cameras with 40 framelines
The 50mm f/2 Heliar is also a "true" Heliar with 5 elements, 2/1/2, fastest Heliar ever made! 🙂
The 75mm f/1.8 Heliar has an extra element for total of 6 in 3 groups, 3 cemented pairs. It's a real Heliar pattern except with the center neg/neg element split into a cemented pair. So it has the same design pattern as the old Leica 73mm f/1.9 Hektor. A good classic connection!
And the 50mm f/3.5 Heliar is indeed a gem...
