Voigtlander Ultron 35mm F2 Aspherical Images

Hi all! I just got the lens! Out of curiosity, have you guys experienced seeing the same amount of grease showing on your lens as I have? In looks rather much as it oozes out like this. To be honest, this is the first new lens I've purchased so would appreciate your feedback.

Mine was similar. They went a bit overboard with the grease at the factory. I just carefully wiped off the excess with a cotton bud (Q-tip?). It’s not doing anything useful on the inside of the mount so you may as well wipe it off.

My sample is coming the next days! Will post samples from an A7 and analog M. I can compare it to the summarit 2.5 and the Cron V4.

It should look quite familiar to many ZM lens owners...
 
Am I the only one who would like to have a way to limit focus range to 0.7m? My M3 (that couldn't be modified to focus down to 0.7m) drove me mad with loosing rf coupling with "modern" lenses.

I understand that Cosina wants to sell those lenses to folks that use them with adapters on other mirrorless cameras, but a screw to limit the travel beyond 0.7m (heck, even 0.9m when they are at it) shouldn't be that hard to do, right?

Totally agree, I kept the ZM 35 f2 over VM Ultron 35 1.7 because of this, although I do believe that optically the VM Ultron is slightly better than the f2 Biogon
