Voigtlander Ultron 35mm F2 Aspherical Images

I love those Beech trees - I was completely smitten with their autumn foliage when I was in Tasmania last. Are they native to Tas?

Yep endemic to Tas and only found in the western and southern high country.

There's very similar Nothofagus species throughout Patagonia and other old Gondwanan regions.

Well I got one!

Though I've had some minty lenses cross my path, I believe this is the first brand new lens I've ever purchased.
I'm really liking the rendition. The contrast is well-balanced with plenty of pop (especially bringing out details in low light) but it's not stark or excessively brutal in bright sunlight. This is on B/W film.
I bought it mostly for shooting color slide film but I haven't processed anything yet.

It goes without saying the sharpness is perfect.
The .58m minimum focus distance does give me a bit of heartburn, I guess due to the extremely short throw since my main 50, the Nikkor 50/1,4 LTM, never bothered me. On the other hand, the black Ultron V2 looks very 'at home' on the Hexar RF. Even better than Konica's own lenses.

I'll try to post something soon.

CV Ultron 35mm f/2 Asph Vintage line, no perspective corrections. Shadows darkened in post for effect. Good shadow detail in original neg and scan. Camera pointed down, as you can see from the horizon line's position.
