Where can I order accessories for my Voigtländer lens?
Accessories (and spare parts, if necessary) can only be obtained from specialist dealers. The article number can be found at the respective product data on our website.
Are the current Voigtländer lenses compatible with digital SLR / system cameras?
Unsere Objektive sind in vielen Fällen mit aktuellen Kameras kompatibel oder adaptierbar. Die Classic Objektive verfügen grundsätzlich nicht über einen Autofokus. Für weitere Informationen wende Dich bitte an Deinen Fachhändler.
Was ist bei Verwendung von Adaptern zu beachten?
Bitte verwende ausschließlich hochwertige Adapter, z. B. original Voigtländer. Eine Verwendung von „No-Name“-Adaptern kann unter Umständen zu Abbildungsfehlern oder mechanischen Schäden führen.
Kann ich Voigtländer Objektive auch an Kameras mit kleinerem Bildsensor als Vollformat verwenden (z.B. APS-C)?
Selbstverständlich können unsere Objektive auch hier verwendet werden. Zu beachten ist allerdings die Veränderung des Bildwinkels aufgrund des Crop-Faktors.
Can I use my old Voigtländer lens on a digital SLR / system camera?
On current digital cameras many optics from the “analog” time work, as long as the bayonet is compatible and the Auflagemaß is correct. It should be noted that the specification of the focal length in older interchangeable lenses always refers to the dimensions of 35mm film in analog cameras. Due to the often smaller sensor size of digital cameras, the focal length has to be converted (crop factor). In addition, it must be assumed that the automatic functions of the camera are not supported by the lens but must be set manually (shutter speed, aperture, distance). In general, it requires a test series, if the respective combination of camera and lens is capable of satisfactory handling and imaging performance.
Can I shorten / cut off the lens hood permanently installed on some lenses?
Please note that the built-in lens hood is an important factor in the imaging performance of the lens. Any interference with the lens design will void any warranty or warranty claims.
