Dear Zuikholics,
Thank you for beeing so kindsome with your answers about
this topic "Voigtlander vs Zuiko" Sorry for not having replied
before but I´m in my last year of Pharmacy in one university
far from my home; and I only can enjoy with Olympus mailing list
on friday and saturday. ;-(
I´ve seen this person again, and I´ve asked her for the
Voigtlander lenses names.
Voigtlander Color-Skoparex 2.8/35 LENS MADE IN JAPAN
Voigtlander Color-Ultron 1.8/50 LENS MADE IN SINGAPORE
Voigtlander Color-Dynarex 2.8/135 LENS MADE IN JAPAN
(I´ve seen shots taken with this last lens; and wide open, is
sharp but maybe at f8, f11 is terribly sharp) This lens must
have 8 blades, because I´ve seen its bokeh with 8 faces.
I send you where they were developed, because I think if they
were made in Japan they should have excellent coattings.
I also have written to one person who knows about this topic
and I would like to show you his comments in order to mix
everyone´s knowledge and search for one good solution to
build this OM adapter.
Please if you know something about this, don´t hesitate to
write...I would be very pleased to hear everybody´s opinions.
Best regards,
Dave

I can´t evaluate OM lenses as Gary does with his outstanding tests,
but I have one 50/1,2 and I know that has better resolution than
my 50/1.8 wide open, and has much better contrast than 50/1.8

rollei SL and Voigt. VSL share common lens mount, I am told; so
from http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/mounts.htm registration distances
Rolleiflex SL35 bayonet 44.60mm
Olympus OM bayonet 46.00mm
see http://www.smu.edu/~rmonagha/bronmounts.html on lens mount adapters;
in short, there is only 1.4mm for thickness of the mount adapter; my
guess is that a mount would require use of an optical adapter design (1.1x)
to provide infinity focusing; only a few places make these; Cambridge
Camera in USA would be the place to contact about possible mounts they can
make or have available; that said, the rollei QBM lenses are relatively rare
and most such adapters are for the most common lenses to popular mounts like
OM, Canon, Nikon, pentax-K, and so on. Not impossible one exists, I just
have not seen one listed.
might be worth asking on some of the Olympus or rollei mailing group lists,
see pages and links at http://www.smu.edu/~rmonagha/mf/albro.html under
camera resource pages - lots of OM types and sites
hope this helps - regards bobm
