The Voigtlander 15mm f/4.5 Super Wide Heliar lens is synonymous with the Voigtlander name. This lens has a 110 degree angle of view and is ideal for stunning landscape photography as well as situations requiring a wide angle lens such as tight interiors. A standard L-mount is used for this lens, making it compatible with Voigtlander Bessa R & L cameras as well as classic cameras from Leica and Canon with the venerable 39mm screwmount design. If you desire to use this lens with Leica M, Voigtlander Bessa T or Konica Hexar RF cameras, use the adapter ring (catalog number 45BD205A).
Key Product Highlights
Venerable LTM Mount: Built using the 39mm Leica screw-mount design (M39), making it natively compatible with classic bodies like the Voigtlander Bessa R/L or Barnack Leica rangefinders. [1, 2]
Ultra-Compact Profile: Weighs only about 105g (190g with the bundled finder/caps), making it radically smaller and lighter than the later Version II and III digital-era adaptations. [1, 2, 3]
Rectilinear Design: Delivers an expansive 110-degree diagonal angle of view, meticulously controlling distortion to ensure straight architectural lines remain straight. [1, 2, 3]
Deep Depth of Field: With a maximum aperture of f/4.5, setting the lens barrel to f/8 or f/16 effectively locks everything from less than a meter to infinity in razor-sharp focus. [1, 2]
Physical Limitations: It features a permanently built-in petal lens hood, meaning you cannot natively screw on standard front-threaded filters
