Hi all,

I've just bought this beauty (and heavy as hell) lens. It's fully working and it's in a pretty well cosmetic condition.
My question is about coating. In many images I saw a greensh color in lens front element:

Is it a question of ligthing condition of the photos
My is more pink! Did the coating change during the years of production?

Regards

Your answer helped a lot Dan! Thank you!
Concluding, no metering chip for Pentax mount.
So the single electric contact provides:
- information on aperture ring is or not set to "A" (raised/lowered "*" contact )
- if "*" raised the body has information about the narrowest aperture, the number of f-stops, also enables the control of aperture (manual by setting proper value in the body or automatic by body measurments of brigthness of the scene)

Thank you all!

Thank you very much JeffJS!
By now I'm confident about the lens. About the focus length I'll do as you told!

Many thanks for the explanation BART,

Indeed I can set the aperture from the body of my K-7.
And as you explained also I still have to enter the focal length. Another question is: Which value should I choose? The 55 mm value that is the nearest to the 58 mm of the lens?

Thank you JohnX,

My mistake was reading the site specification "Mount: AI-S, CPU integrated / Pentax K" as if Pentax version also had the integrated CPU!
Then I found odd why nikon version has many contacts and the Pentax only a single one.

That explains a lot indeed!
Then no great difference from SL to SLII for Pentax mount...
Again thank you!

Thank you Blackcloudbrew!

The same thing to me! The first thing I've noticed was the SLII in the box and the SL in the lens!
Then I found strange the "pin" thing as the nikon version is plenty of them (maybe they werent' connected).
Anyway, with your feeedback now I'm more confident about it

Thank you Aurele!
That's a diference indeed!
My point is if the chip for metering needs only a single contact?
The nikon version looks like this:

Hi,

i'm a bit worried as I have a Nokton, tha should be SLII.
If anyone bought the lens before they were discontinued can you tel me if the CPU contacts look like this (only one!!!)
I bought mine from USA but it looks like this:
¡¾ÐÂÆ·ÉÏÊÐ¡¿Voigtlander/¸£Â×´ï NOKTON 58/1.4 SLII PK¿ÚÈ«ÐÂÆ·£¡£¡£¡ #20147 £¤3500 100ÐÂ ±öµÃ 135Æ÷²Ä ¹ã¶«- ¶þÊÖÉãÓ°Æ÷²Ä½»Ò× - ·äÄñÂÛÌ³

Is it a fake? Is it SLI not SLII as anounced in the box?
How can I know?

Thank you in advance
