Nokton Aspherical Voigtlander 35mm 1.2, 1.4 mount adapted to Canon eos (60d)???

[Story1kanobw]

In my quest for a SHARP, wide angle (35mm) fast lens (low light capable lens) I stumbled upon an OUTSTANDING review for the Voigtlander 35mm 1.2 (version II) Here is the lnk - http://www.stevehuffphoto.com/2011/1...-the-leica-m9/. Can these Voigtlanders be mount adapted to Canon eos DSLRs like the 60d? I know the Bessar Voigtlanders can with a Voigtlander Retina DKL lens to Canon EOS EF adapter, but I read somewhere that it won't stop below f2 or 1.8. The adapter for the Bessar Voigtlander is the Voigtlander Retina DKL lens to Canon EOS EF adapter - but what about the Voigtlander 35mm 1.4 and 1.2?

mir24m is an excellent and sharp lens at the 35mm focal length.

I just saw a nice video made with it. Do you know of any other videos done with it? - without color grading, etc. I'd like to see some reviews i.e comparing to the Super Takumar in sharpness. I was looking for something at f1.4. The mir24m is f2. It's hard to find a lens that stays sharp around 1.2-1.6. I might have to get a 2.0. I'm intrigued by your suggestion. I'm going to look into it. For 200 bucks it better sharper than a Super Takumar.

And I'd really like to see what it looks like on people - skin tones etc

That 35/1.2 is a M-mount lens, and it won't fit any EOS camera, the registry distance is way too different. A m43 or NEX could mount it with an adapter.

as Kin Lau said, lenses for Leica-M can't work on Canon EOS cameras (either they become macro-only, or they become terribly soft, if you use an adapter with optics) - http://www.similaar.com/foto/lensmount/lensmount.html

also: if you want a sharp and fast 35mm lens, your best bet is the samyang 35mm f/1.4: it's sharper than alternatives costing 4 times as much - http://www.similaar.com/foto/equipment/us_lensc.html#samyang - http://www.the-digital-picture.com/...LensComp=121&CameraComp=0&FLIComp=0&APIComp=0 - http://www.the-digital-picture.com/...LensComp=749&CameraComp=0&FLIComp=0&APIComp=0 - only downside is that I've read it breathes a lot

You asked the same question in another part of this forum, find that and the link I left. Short answer is no.

The lens is $1400, not the Noktor...

Have a look at a Zeiss Contax 35mm f1.4.

another vote for the Samyang. I have used it and it is VERY nice. especially for the price.
