Never heard of this lens, it resembles a Pentax 40mm 2.8 a bit?
I’m afraid I have no experience with the 40mm pancake but here’s the review page of the Ultron.

Hopefully I've not over-egged it, but here she is! A Voigtlander Ultron SL-ii 40mm f/2, complete with hood, caps, close-up attachment and in stellar condition.


If I had questions about that lens

I would pm Pepperberry Farm

Got a Meyer-Optik Orestegor 4/200 in very nice optical condition with M42 mount. it's pretty much the same as this:



Cosmetic condition isn't quite as good, it's obviously had a lot of use, but it's working well and for me that's what counts, and still has the original hood (like the one under the lens in the photo). This was the trade for the Minolta Vectis SLR I had a couple of weeks ago, so I can't give a price as such; say £20 or so.

And received a Leica M39 to Micro 4/3 adapter I ordered on Sunday, cost £4.99 - I was going to take it out for some photos with the Jupiter 8 I got last weekend but I ended up waiting until nearly 3 PM for a courier to deliver it, it then turned out that a signature wasn't needed - it seems to work OK with the quick tests I've made anyway.

later - just took the 200mm to find a filter and realised I have a nice set of zebra-style M42 extension tubes I was going to include in the next lot of auctions. I think that I'll throw them in with the lens, makes a nice little outfit.

Completely agree with this. He’s taken some astounding pics with his.

my brother- in- law, in addition to the large amount of expired film already spoken for by a member after listing in the marketplace, gave me

a Canon AE -1 Program SLR

a Canon FD 50mm F1.8 lens,

a Tamron 80-210mm Adaptall AE model 103A and case,

a Canon Speedlight 188 Flash and case

plus manuals for most

______________________

I expect to post them in the marketplace in the near future

more of an over-grown DA40 Limited:




that's the Voigtlander on the left, Pentax on the right....

think of it as a manual-focus DA40, with a bigger aperture, and everything you love about the DA40... x ten...


my flickr album for the Ultron:

https://www.flickr.com/photos/pepperberryfarm/albums/72157711411204547/with/48939243251/


one huge word of warning, however.... if you buy the Ultron, you'll next want the Nokton 58, then the Color Skopar 20 (which is where I'm at)...

I had a Pentax 110 system twenty five years ago. It was ultra cool but not very useful, so I sold it. I’ve regretted dumping that little jewel ever since. Watching eBay and FB for years until today. Complete Auto 110 System 18, 24, 50, Winder, AF130p flash, hoods, caps filters, book in a nearly perfect original box and the tan leather camera bag. Everything except the original batteries. Picture is from the listing. I’ll post more when I get it next week.

You could think this when questioning about many awesome lenses...

Ultron; Nokton; Skopar

This sounds like some mean bosses to beat to level-up!

Hoping for some deals on specific hardware items to upgrade my computer with, I finally ordered them anyway, even though there were no deals, so why wait any longer?

And I'm filling another gap in my lens collection, the K-mount cousin of my S-M-C Tak 55/1.8, the SMC Pentax "K" 1:1.8/55 is about to be on its way to me. I think in this lifetime I'll never run the risk of running out of 50s, ever.

When these were new my eldest brother bought one of these for his then-wife.
IIRC the quality of her 3x5 prints was quite remarkable, similar to 35mm quality.
If 110 format film was readily available I'd consider looking for a working example.

I've decided to give film a try so I have a Pentax Z-1/PZ-1 on the way

Pentax Z-1 / PZ-1 - Pentax Autofocus Film SLRs - Pentax Camera Reviews and Specifications

I plan to use my FA Limited lenses ( 43mm and 77mm ) and other non DA lenses -

Kino Precision Japan Kiron 28mm F2 MC P/KA

SMC Pentax-A 50mm F1.4, 49 F

SMC Pentax 55mm F 1.8 52F

SMC Pentax-D FA 100mm F2.8 Macro

SMC Pentax-A 135mm F2.8 52 F

HD Pentax-D FA* 70-200mm F2.8 ED DC AW

HD Pentax-D FA 150-450mm F4.5 - 5.6 ED DC AW

wish me luck I will need it

feel free to send me a PM with suggestions, I will not be developing the film myself
