Hi...
I have two Voigtländer VITO C.
Hopefully, with these two I will build a good one.
The problem is that the camera that is in the best conditions (the receiver) has a LANTHAR 2.8/50 lens and "the donor" comes with a COLOR-LANTHAR 2.8/50, I understand better quality.
The receiver and the donor
The receiver's optical train rings are in much better condition and outwardly looks identical in measurements to those of the donor.
Both shutters require cleaning because they move slowly and in the case of the donor, it remains slightly open. It is clear that I will have to disassemble to clean and lubricate.
Will it be possible to place the COLOR-LANTHAR glasses on the LANTHAR body as a simple replacement?
Regards

My understanding is that the difference between the COLOR and plain lenses (Skopar or Lanthar) are coatings that help with better color transmission (even though some people say is just a merketing gimmick)
However the lenses must be the same formula and you can for sure frankenstein them.
I did that on a Skopar for a Vito II and the resulting lens works very well.
