Difference between APO Lanthar 125mm 2,5 in SLi and SLii
« on: September 18, 2017, 10:32:28 »
What is the difference between the two SLi and SLii? Is there a Nikon mount on both?

There is no SLii version as far as I know, I have never seen one,,,


The later versions of the other focal lengths have different mechanical internals and not the 'universal' interchangeable mount

Ok, and thank you. I will hunt also for a lens like that with a Nikon mount!

If I remember correctly, the Nikon F mount SLII lenses had CPUs.  Apo-Lanther 125/2.5 had been discontinued before the lineup was updated to SLII.

This is a pretty good site for Voigtlander lenses:

No idea about his prices but he has been recommended to me by several folk I trust .  The site has a lot of info.

Dr Klaus, that appears to be true on prices and also they have eliminated some of the more detailed info on older lenses.  I use Robert White (UK) although he is no longer with us and the ownership has changed.  I normally get some good prices from them and have pretty consistent contact with UK if gear needs repair (pretty tough and expensive here in India for Leica and Voigt).
