Nice looking kit Karl! I have been drooling over the CV 21mm for a while now myself... I just can't decide if I want it in ltm or Contax/Nikon mount!

Though I am curious. Did they or do they ever make a kind of lens cover style cup to go over the front of the viewfinder. My general usage of my camera is to put it into my empty right jacket pocket, and I kind of crindging with the exposed viewfinder.

Hey Karl, I've the 15mm and no there isn't any cover for the viewfinder. At least not by Cosina / Voigtlander that I know of, however things like that might be around in the aftermarket. Good luck on the search. BTW I predict you will love that lens.

You might look for those rubber covers that they use on rifle scopes. Find one that fits and then cut the cord between the two ends using the one that fits.


I just got my 21/4 today as well. 😀

Karl,
No disrespect intended but; you work in a candy store and got the[(excellent! I love mine!) CV21] sweets in the mail?
I also think your co-worker needs their coffee cup turned into a dribble glass!
The "testing" shots you've shared are pretty good, I look forward to seeing some serious work from it.

While there is a lot in the store, we don't have voigtlander lens, or any 'for sale' leica screw mount, and so forth.

Ooo, looks good on the P. I'm currently resisting the urge to buy one of those to replace my dead Bessa T...
