Version 4 for me too, looks to have more deliberate framing and just generally works better as a photo. Cracking Shot!

I like the 1st and 4th, strong composition and interesting perspective/framing!

Now SOLD

Now looking just for a SALE rather than Trade.

Due to the purchase of a K85, I am now selling my Voigtlander 90mm f3.5 APO-LANTHAR SL Lens.

I purchased this off PapaLazaru from this forum earlier in the year.

I would be interested in a SMC 50mm f1.2 in trade/+ Money.

Description
This is a PK-A lens, so full Aperture comparability with both Film (MZ-5N) and Digital (K-01) in 'A' mode. It is also Manual Focus ONLY.

Its very compact, 58mm x 64mm, 390g and takes a 49mm filter thread.

It can focus very close, down to 0.5m (in practice a little closer I have found) and a reproduction ratio of 1:3.5. It has a 9-Blade Aperture for very smooth OOF Bokeh.

This is the SL1 version, in Black/Chrome. It comes with the original Front Metal Lens Cap and Plastic Rear Cap, Original Box/Packaging etc.
It does not come with the optional hood or close focus adapter.

A selection of photos taken with this fine lens, on both film and digital:

Condition
Its in very good condition, only a small scuff mark (not noticeable) on the back side of the Aperture ring. The Focus ring is ever so slightly loose front/back if you try and move it but that's really nitpicking, its lovely and smooth when focusing though.
The Lens barrel itself is rock solid and has no give what so ever.

Price/Shipping
Price: £275 / 350 Euro / $460 + £15 fully insured shipping to the UK.

I can ship this worldwide, shipping quotes on request.

Well in quick tests, at f3.5 I could not tell the difference in sharpness (same flower as above). The K85 had a warmer tone compared to the 90mm APO.
Both the lenses have very smooth OOF Bokeh.

I have decided to sell the Voigtlander and to fund (hopefully) a K50 f1.2 if I can find one, based on this initial impression of the K85.

The K85 and Voigtlander are basically the same price, and I would be happy with either except for the extra speed of the K85 even at the expense of the 'A' setting on the 90mm APO.

Thanks again

I was going to add, I just bought one for my MZ-5N in the past month, NOS from the USA off ebay, was about £30 in total with delivery/VAT.
Really helps with the handling I find on the MZ-5N.
