Key Features
  • Leica M-Mount Lens
  • Aperture Range: f/4.5 to f/22

  • Optimized for Use with Digital Cameras

The manual focus design affords a minimum focusing distance of 1.6', which pairs with the wide depth of field for sharp imaging from near to far.

Is this lens compatible with the Lee Seven5 filter system?
Asked by: Patrick
It is not compatible because the hood is built in so you won't be able to place the Lee filter holder onto the lens.

You would need to purchase a lens adapter such as either the Novoflex Adapter for Leica M Mount Lens to Canon EOS M Cameras, B&H # NOEOSMLEM, or the FotodioX Pro Lens Mount Adapter for Leica M-Mount Lens to Canon EF-M Mount Camera, B&H # FOPLMALMLEM, to connect the Voigtlander Super Wide-Heliar 15mm f/4.5 Aspherical III Lens onto the Canon EOS M50 Mirrorless Digital Camera.

Does this work on Canon 7s renge finders from the 60s? They take a 39mm screw mount but not sure on threads and focal distance. Thanks
Asked by: Erik
No, the Voigtlander Super Wide-Heliar 15mm f/4.5 Aspherical III Lens is not compatible for use on the Canon 7s 35mm Rangefinder Camera. The Voigtlander Super Wide-Heliar 15mm f/4.5 Aspherical III Lens uses the Leica M-mount bayonet mount whereas the Canon 7s uses the Leica M39 screw mount. Unfortunately, we have no lens mount adapters that convert the Leica M bayonet mount to the Leica M39 screw mount for your usage needs. However, while not identical, if you are looking for a lens with a similar focal length, you may purchase the FotodioX Pro Lens Mount Adapter for Nikon F-Mount Lens to M39-Mount Camera, B&H # FOPLMANFLM39, along with either the IRIX 15mm f/2.4 Blackstone Lens for Nikon F, B&H # IR15BSN, the Venus Optics Laowa 15mm f/4 Macro Lens for Nikon F, B&H # VE1540N, or the Venus Optics Laowa 12mm f/2.8 Zero-D Lens for Nikon F (Silver), B&H # VE1228NAIS, for your usage needs.

Can it be used with 58-77 step up rings? Planin on using with larger variable NDs to avoid vignette.

Are you sure that it fits? I worry about if there is room enough inside the hood that can't be removed.

Asked by: Ahsan
The Voigtlander Super Wide-Heliar 15mm f/4.5 Aspherical III Lens is now available in the E mount as well as the M mount. The original version is the same size and weight as version III, the big difference is the lens coating.
