The mount looks perfectly fine, exactly as the one of my 125mm SL lens that mounts without any problem. Your question made me experiment some more, using my old bodies (K10D and K-5 II) because I was afraid to damage my K-3 III. I found that when rotating the lens into place there is a point where it seems to hang, but with a little force it can be turned beyond that to the correct locking position on all three bodies. So there isn’t really a problem it seems.

glad to read this - and looking forward to the photos....

Unfortunately, there won’t be any photos of mine with the SL 75mm. It had what looked like some internal haze so I took it to the repair shop (the seller had kindly agreed to take over the cost because he missed this flaw). However, they determined that it was some form of separation and irreparable, so I had to return it. A real pity as it is so rare.

Back to a PK Voigtländer, the Color Skopar 20/3.5. I had bought it as a compact ultra-wide for hikes with the K-1 and it is indeed compact and performs fairly well. But by now it's either my lightweight KP set, that comes along on hikes, or the K-1 with DFA21Ltd., when weight and size is not a major concern. So surprisingly, the Color Skopar now ended up in a prime-only kit on a business trip together with KP, where the DFA21 was too heavy for the 8kg cabin baggage restriction (don't have the DA21) and it was joy to use on the small format.

(SooC, will post-process once back at home.)
