Voigtlander 75/1.8 M now in Nikon & Canon EOS!

[CameraQuest]

I don't read German, but it seems to be a chipped SL II series lens for Nikon AIS and Canon EOS (manual focus).

see http://www.photoscala.de/Artikel/CP-2011-Zwei-lichtstarke-Festbrennweiten-von-Voigtlaender

Most likely it is the same glass as the popular and highly praised M mount 75/1.8!

This is the not the first time Mr. Kobayashi has used the the same glass on RF and SLRs!

Yep, I am taking $100 deposits for it to Stephen@CameraQuest.com - but I have NO info on shipping dates or price.

Thanks
Stephen

SFAIK,

1.8 is the fastest fixed length 75mm ever available for SLRs
- or am I mistaken?

Sounds like they should fly off the shelf. Too bad the Nikon mount does not have a 52mm filter ring, but then what is perfect.

New perfect triplet, 28/2.8 AIs, 75/1.8 CV and 180/2.8 EF IF AF.

Thanks for the heads up.

You are mistaken, there was a Carl Zeiss Biotar 75/f1.5 made since 1938 in a variety of mounts.

You're welcome 🙂

Fastest ever or not, it looks like a nice lens. Compact and fast, and on crop bodies very close to the 105mm field of view.
