Voigtlander Heliar 50mm f/3.5


Anyone using this lens? Looks very intriguing to me. I like the rendering quite a bit and it seems like a good complimentary lens to the ZA 50mm f/1.4. Also considering the heliar 40mm f/2.8 (fully aware of the downsides, but it just looks fun). Basically, I'm probably going to replace my old (trusted and loved) 55mm f/1.2 FL. As much as I love it, it probably doesn't have a place in my bag anymore (although I might keep it for sentimental value because I do stuff like that). The ZA will be used a lot, I absolutely am in love with it, but a tiny mf alternative would be great. Looking for things about $450 or less and the Heliars seem like the sweet spot to me. Obviously prioritizing size.

Also any experience with the Fotodiox DLX stretch adapter for M to E mount? I like that it has the focusing tab as opposed to the VM-E and Hawks adapters.
