Update on the Voigtlander 75mm 2.5 Color-Heliar?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Leica Photography : One Thread

Has anyone used this lens? If so, how are the results?

There was a previous post asking about this lens, but it seems there weren't any responses from anyone who's actually used this lens. I'm hoping that by now someone has some experience with this lens, now that its been available for a while.

I'm interested in this lens to use with my M6TTL. I have the 50mm Summicron and want to add a 75mm. I always liked the size and weight of the 90mm tele-elmarit, but have routinely heard that the quality was not great. I've used a late Canadian made 90mm Summicron and current version of the 90mm Elmarit. I'm not very happy the way either of these lenses balance on the M6, although I found the Elmarit a great improvement over the Summicron. I also think the 75mm frameline maybe easier to compose with than the 90 and prefer the perspective of the slightly shorter focal length for general use.

Any comments will be appreciated.
