p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Voigtlander 40 f/2 SL vs SL II


I picked up a Voigtlander 40/f2 Ultron SL at a really good price to use as a walk-around lens on an A7R2. Can someone fill me in on the differences between the SL and SL II variants? I haven't been able to find much by searching the FM archives or googling...most results refer to the SL II. I'm curious if the difference between the two is that great.

EDIT: Don't have the lens yet...due to arrive tomorrow.

CameraQuest - Voigtlander SL Series I 40/2 Ultron Aspherical (third section down the page)

CameraQuest - Voigtlander SLII 40/2 Ultron Aspherical: Version 1; Version N; & Version S; (fourth, fifth and sixth sections down the page)

differences are mostly cosmetic, filter ring colour, focusing ring colour, focusing distance colour, aperature ring colour, lens hood, focusing ring grip material, design, etc.

mass, smallest f/stop and minimum focus distance are slightly different

Thanks for the information. Lens arrived today, and it looks its the SL II N variant based on the info in your links. Makes the great deal even better. Thanks again.

The II and IIn versions came with a little domed hood and close focus filter that the SL did not come with. It sounds like the IIs is tweaked to close focus without this adapter. Also, the SL did not have EXIF which all II versions do. But for a collector the SL cosmetic design is the coolest IMHO.

The lens that I have is not chipped and has a Nikon AIS mount, black all metal focusing barrel. It also came with the close focus ring and domed hood. Basic SL II version.
