There is some special black magic Voodoo in the 50mm f1.5 Heliar Classic SC VM lens
This lens makes you happy! Even if your image isn't perfectly focused you'll still like it.

I like the lens too, it is underrated, just like the 50mm f1.1. Was it, when new, too cheap?

I'll say this, Erik, for what one gets with this lens, I do think it is cheap.

I have much more expensive lenses that do not come close to comparing to the Voigtlander Heliar Classic 50mm f/1.5 lens.

I haven't been this excited about a lens in a long time!

All the best,
Mike

I think this lens excels at color but it also blows me away when I'm photographing in B&W

A beautiful made lens, fine materials (black paint) and very deep engravings on the black painted parts. I love the feel of the lens. I've found an old shade that fits the lens nicely.
