Is anyone using THE 40 1.2 II on a Sony body? Do you know if It performd better than the original?

Just to clarify, there are no optical design changes, it's simply a cosmetic update for the Voigtl�nder 40mm f/1.2 II VM Mount.

Adapted to a Sony body, you'll still see the usual compromises in rendering and off-axis performance due to the thicker sensor stack.

Thought they upgrade the coatings on the new version, didn't they?

The 35/1.2 IV. Feels the same, I can�t tell a change in optics or coatings�but the all black looks much better IMO

Digging up some old threads here. Now that I am retired I have too much time on my hands.

Looking at the 40mm 1.2 due to the size as I have the original 50mm 1.2 and love that lens. Just curious and wanted to confirm, the lens hoods on these redesigns are reversible right? Can anyone share a photo of how that looks? Just curious how wide they can get for packability.

Yes, the new separately sold accessory lens hoods for the latest versions of these lenses are reversible. There are 2 new Bayonet hoods for these, LH-14 (smaller) can work on all of them and LH-15 (larger) can work on 40/1.2 II and 50/1.2 II.

See Cosina's product introduction video for the segment that shows the hoods:

I guess LH-15 is too long to be used on 35/1.2 IV and would cause some additional vignetting, so that's why it's only meant for the 2 longer focal lengths.

See Cosina's product introduction video for the segment that shows the hoods (starting from around 4min 20s):

Ah, appreciate that. Looks like a 2 second section where it�s shown so I must have missed it way back.
