jean_yves_mead Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 If you did, you'd end up with a wide-angle close-up lens (unless you're willing to take an angle-grinder to your dSLR) with no way to focus further than a foot or two. Seems a waste of a pretty neat lens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael_bradtke Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 <p>Just a guess but I think the lens and the mirror might interfere with each other. That would not be a good thing....</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert_bouknight1 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 <p>I have some of the Voigtlander superwides in Leica Screw Mt, best bet is to just find a cheap LTM film body and use the UWA lenses on it.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCL Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 <p>Nope. The lens is designed to be used on a body which has a much shorter register distance than the Nikon. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieter Schaefer Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 <p>Voigtlander actually made a 15/4.5 (and 12/5.6) in Nikon F mount - to be used with cameras that had mirror lock-up only! http://www.cameraquest.com/VCSL1215.htm Those are not the same as the currently available rangefinder lenses - which of course one shouldn't attempt to adapt to any of the current Nikon DSLR cameras.<br> <br /><br /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_wheatland Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 <p>I have and use for many years a Voigt/Cosina Bessa L with 15mm plus add on view finder showing angle of view. This is ideal for your use, built in light meter FILM camera. Totally mechanical not battery dependent save for metering. By the way the lens performs beautifully at all f stops even wide open at f4.5!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
