Who has a Voigtlander 40mm f2 for Nikon?

I don't own one, but I am very interested in this lens too. I shoot the original Nikon F (plain, meterless prism) and there are few lenses that would go better with my F as a daily lens. I used to shoot the beautiful, but optically only average, Olympus OM Zuiko 40mm f/2.0 on my Olympus OM-3Ti, and I really liked the focal length.

The Voigtlander lens is universally praised for having resolution and contrast that competes with a Leica M-Summicron 35mm ASPH f/2.0 - but it unfortunately seems to have equally ugly bokeh!

I ordered it yesterday, should get it today. I'll post some photos when I take it out this weekend. If I were you I'd check Ken Rockwell's review of this lens to see about compatibility with your F.

Best,

Doug
