Description
Voigtlander lens experiment 1, was taken with Lumix LX2 at F2,8 .

The experiment (see [link] ) was to try and mount a Voigtlander lens/shutter combination of ca 1927, on a digital body ano 2010, and make use of it!!

The lens is a Voigtlander Anastigmat "Skopar" uncoated F4,5 15cm from ca 1927 and for use on black and white film !!

Had advice from on this subject !!

Voigtländer is an optical company founded by Johann Christoph Voigtländer in Vienna in 1756 and thus the oldest name in cameras. It produced the Petzval photographic lens (the fastest lens at that time: f/3.7) in 1840, and the world's first all-metal daguerrotype camera (Ganzmetallkamera) in 1841, also bringing out plate cameras shortly afterwards. It set up a branch office in Braunschweig in 1849, moving its headquarters there later. The company issued stock in 1898, and a majority of the shares were acquired by Schering in 1925.

Over the next three decades, Voigtländer became a technology leader and the first manufacturer to introduce several new kinds of product that would later become commonplace. These include the first zoom lens (36–82/2.8 Zoomar) in 1960 and the first 35mm compact camera with built-in electronic flash (Vitrona) in 1965.

Schering sold its share of the company to the Carl Zeiss Foundation in 1956, and Zeiss and Voigtländer integrated in 1965. In 1972 Zeiss/Voigtländer stopped producing cameras, and a year later Zeiss sold Voigtländer to Rollei. On the collapse of Rollei in 1982, Plusfoto took over the name, selling it in 1997 to Ringfoto.

Used a Olympus 4/3 to M42 adapter, M42 russian Macro bellow, and a M42 to M39 adapter to mount the lens on the combination !!! see the results !!
