I'm going to give this a bump. Anyone who has this lens care to post some shots?

Hi, thre is one guy in Germany using combination of Ultron and EOS 5DMkII.
First thing, I noticed: absolutely fantastic FF camera dimensions after this pancake application:
Just take a look! (http://www.flickr.com/photos/peterlueck/4248360532/in/set-72157622976960914/)
Another one... (http://www.flickr.com/photos/peterlueck/4188012611/sizes/l/in/set-72157622976960914/)
And interesting: Pen+pancake vs. 5DMkII+Voigtlander (http://www.flickr.com/photos/peterlueck/4179665674/sizes/m/in/set-72157622976960914/)
Here is pretty big GALLERY (http://www.flickr.com/photos/peterlueck/sets/72157622976960914/?page=2) of pictures taken with 5DMkII + Ultron pancake combination.
You will find there some shots in original size... looks like this lens is pretty sharp.
Price for this lens is IMO just a joke, considering v. good picture quality and extreme compact dimensions.
Can someone let me know, has this lens a focus confirmation like Zeiss ZE and possibility to changing the aperture using whell on camera body?
Thanks in advance!

It's hard to find info on the Canon mount, but here's a quote I found at LensRentals (http://www.lensrentals.com/rent/voigtlander-40mm-f2-sl-ii-vc40II/for-canon):

The Voigtlander 40mm f2 Ultron is a classic lens returned to production for Canon mount cameras. It is a manual focus lens (although in camera focus confirmation works). It is a very tiny ‘pancake’ lens that fits easily in a pocket, but provides good corner-to-corner sharpness and superb bokeh.

Roger’s take: This lens has some very specific appeal. First its a tiny little pancake lens that is great for a wide aperture walkaround. Second its very reasonably priced but still is a very sharp lens with nice bokeh. You can control the aperture from the camera and while you do have to manually focus its quite easy to do at this focal length. And it gives a bit of a different look than the Zeiss or Canon primes.

Has anyone here used this wondeful small lens?

I saw some prices on ebay and it's a very cheap lens.
I want to be updated on this lens.

Very sharp lens from wide open, nice color, contrast. I have done comparison with canon 35 1.4, almost no differences in sharpness. At 4.0 better than canon 50 1.4. Focusing is not big problem, but I applied +20 FMA for focus confirmation. Build quality and handling absolutely amazing. Great walk around lense. Picturea taken at f/2.2, you can see 3d effect :rolleyes:
PS. If you need more samples let me know.
