Voigtlander CLASSIC HELIAR MC 40mm f2.8, Leica M mount

A compact wide-angle lens with a lens configuration based on the Voigtländer traditional Heliar design. By adopting the latest optical design and an aspherical lens, it keeps the filter diameter as small as φ34 mm, and the total length of the product from the mount surface is 21.2 mm. A highly portable lens with a condensed retro-style exterior. 

Bayonet VM mount

Equipped VM mount compatible with the Leica M mount which will trigger the 50mm bright frame in a rangefinder camera equipped with an automatic bright line function.
It also has an excellent design balance when attached to a mirrorless digital camera via a mount adapter.

Compact & high performance

By adopting an aspherical lens, it demonstrates excellent optical performance even when the aperture is wide open. The total length of the product is 21.2 mm (from the mount surface), it does not protrude into the viewfinder frame when used on a rangefinder camera, and handling feels also good.

Dedicated lens hood included

The lens comes with a dedicated aluminum screw-in hood and an aluminum cover-type front cap to provide not only shading performance but also design compatibility with the lens body. (The black painted type comes with a painted hood and front cap.)

Manual focus for reliable focus operation

By adopting an all-metal helicoid unit processed and adjusted with high precision and high-quality grease that produces an appropriate torque, focusing with a smooth operation feeling is realized. It enables fine focus adjustment.

Equipped with a rangefinder interlocking system

The high-precision rangefinder interlocking mechanism enables severe focusing near the maximum aperture. The shortest shooting distance linked to the rangefinder is 0.7m.

Full frame image circle

The lens secures a generous image circle that supports full-frame format. In addition, it achieves a very compact style compared to interchangeable lenses for single-lens reflex cameras.
