Hi all,

I've got a short question, is it possible to mount the actual voigtlaender lenses for the Bessa cameras to a CL?

Thanks for all infos!

Yes; using the thread mount to M mount adaptor. I would check the shorter length lenses (below 21mm) to make sure they don't interfer with the meter arm. Some Leica M lenses do, so the Cosina/Voightlander lenses of similar length may also.

I use a CL with the V'lander 12mm and 15mm lenses all the time. Work great.

I use the Nokton and Ultron on my CL. Very nice although focusing accuracy isn't as good as on my M3.

Mark, how do you find the 12mm on the CL? In terms of size etc. I gather the built in finder serves no purpose when using this lens. I have numerous Voigtlander lenses and the work great on My CLE/CL's
