Hi, I am looking for the SL 1 first version of this lens, in Minolta MD mount.

Anyone?

I guess not many we made?

Thank you for remembering ! Very appreciated. I did see it already.

Unfortunately "near mint" in this case meant a scratch and haze inside the lens.

I'm so sorry, I didn't catch that. Very liberal definition of "near mint". I wonder if voigtlander can do repairs on them. (I have a 40 in pentax, love it to death).

No worries, I am just glad I noticed. I am in Europe and I doubt there's a Voigtlander repair service here for that lens. But, I do think the lens is too costly for that.

The 40mm is pretty much the only lens I use. I have the Zuiko 40/2 which is fine. The Pentax is very nice too, except for me on the too small side.

If you shoot Olympus, a Voigtlander 40mm for OM showed up in eBay as well.

Ok, I got the lens, finally!

Now I will shoot a film and make some prints.

Wow, congrats on your perseverance! I have it in the Nikon mount and it is my favorite lens for those cameras.

Hi ! That's an interesting grip you have on your XD. Is it glued onto the leatherette? I'm looking for a Leica R5/6/7 film door for additional thumb-grip but I do like the sleek design with the R4 film door...

 

[Hilo]

Yes, glewed with a selfadhesive . . . made by a company called Flipbac
