These are really good, showing great pop and separation. Great examples Mike!

I have to say, this August heat is killing me, but the photographer in me won't quit.

These are very nice images Mike, well done. I thought you might also be interested in this rolling review of the lens. (Nice images there too - this lens certainly seems to have something, its rendering is quite sublime).

The images that Mike has provided look great. 7Artisans has just released a 75mm 1.25 for $450 shipped. I wonder how this will compare?

Has anyone managed to shoot the 75/f1.5 on film?

Seconded - a silly little request, but given your location do you have any photos of the Mikasa pre-dreadnought battleship in Yokosuka Mike? It's the only remaining pre-Dreadnought in the world.
Charles, I posted some pictures of the Mikasa in the "W/NW Boats ans Ships" thread.
If you want you can see the full set of pictures on my blog:

That lens has very appealing rendering and I can see why it's called vintage.

I'm a wide angle shooter mainly, but the photos in this thread are very good.
For sure Mike has a good eye ! And the lens is interesting!

Mike I am wondering if you have shot with the Voigtlander 75mm f1.8.
I have the above lens and like it but am curious as to how the two compare in the view of users.
BTW which I have not said so before I really like your documentary images of Japan in this series.

Hello Peter!
I have the Voigtlander 75mm f1.8 Heliar Classic VM lens and it is no slouch.
Please don't ask me why I bought the 75mm f1.5 if I already have the 75mm f1.8 - if I can't logically explain that to my wife I doubt I can logically explain it to anyone else.
Here are a couple of blog posts I did using the Voigtlander 75mm f1.8 Heliar Classic VM lens:

https://yokosukamike.blogspot.com/2016/10/three-days-and-voigtlander-75mm-f18-lens.html
(If you click on the first image in the post it will go full size, then just keep clicking to view like a slideshow)
The two lenses are somewhat similar but I like the newer f1.5 a bit better than the f1.8.
Hope that helps.

Haha haha.
You do not need to explain to me Mike. I am constantly doubling and tripling up on lenses in focal lengths I like. Good to know there is someone just as addicted as I am.
Often too only partly about IQ. More often its about handling or looks. (Just like wives - Oh I can't say that its "sexist". Oops too late I said it - besides I am sure women say the same or worse about us guys).
More seriously I will check your posts out.

Interesting question, it seems nobody tried this...or anybody?

The door is open, anyone can walk through it.
