A few months back I picked up a new lens, the Voigtlander 28mm f2 Ultra and honestly I've been struggling to take it off of my camera. My Leica 35mm summilux has basically been sat unused since!
In today's video I discuss why I've been loving this lens so much!
Great video, man. Loving my Voigtlander 50mm at the moment and have been considering the 35 Ultron. That 28 looks killer.
Shout out to bigger RUclipsrs like you drawing attention to smaller channels. A rising tide lifts all boats ❤
Cheers man! I had the old 50mm Nokton 1.5 and it had so much character! It makes my 50mm summilux feel a little dull in comparison! Voigtlander are smashing it!
I picked up a 35 Ultron on Friday - I'm shocked at how good it is for the $, esp at f4 - f8.
I’ve been watching your show since the beginning great. I’m 76 now and remember my father who was avid photographer handing me an all manual Minolta sr1 & a Weston hand meter and a book on photography. To this day I still love taking photos. Keep up the videos they are very enjoyable. Howard
I prefer your new format. Closer to real world shooting. I also have this lens (in silver/black) and shoot it primarily on the M11M. Not because I don't like its colour rendering but because for colour at 28mm I use the Q3. As for it being slightly soft at the edges wide open, it doesn't faze me as I usually shoot it at smaller apertures anyway. To be honest, I only shoot the Q3 at f1.7 or f2 when inside or at night anyway. Mostly I shoot it at f4 to f8.
I tried the Q3 recently! Awesome camera! Thank you!! 💪🏻
i came back from a trip to bali recently with the 28 ultron and 35 cron, the ultron was glued to the camera the whole time. It's honestly such a great travel lens and balances superb on m-bodies.
Given the quality of the Leica M11, I really thought there was a physical problem with the mount that would prevent you from removing the lens. XD
Ahahah! I wish you’d had a better experience! I know I’m very lucky!
Great video. I am a big fan of voigtlander lenses. When I got my M11-P I got the summilux 50mm f1.4 ASPH II. But then fell in love with the 50 and 35mm APO Lanther from Voigtlander. Recently I got two more lenses, the 21mm f3.5 color skopar and the 75mm f1.5. These lenses are killers. As for the 28mm I considering to get the one you just reviewed, but the black version.
Hey Goughie, I’m deciding btw 28mm Elmarit and Summicron (shooting M10M). What makes you lean towards Summicron this time around over Elmarit? Is subject separation visually more pronounced at f/2 vs f/2.8? As high iso of M11 is quite good, so f/2.8 should be enough in that regard. It’s mainly whether the size will get tiring compared to Elmarit… Thoughts? Cheers from Copenhagen, Mads
New format APPROVED. Nice to see you out in the world, @Goughie
Thank you!! I want to do more of it for sure! 💪🏻
我也超喜欢28焦段，推荐Goughie试下color-skopar28mm F2.8,小巧迷人画质好
Great review that almost persuaded me to get this lens. I shoot mostly street and i want to mostly zone focus with the tab. Is the 0,5cm focus distance very disturbing, since my minolta cle doesnt focus at less than 0,7 or is it manageable to ingore it ? Do you prefer this lens or the leica 28mm 2.8 asph ?
what bout the 35mm ultron? anyone like that one too?
Great video! Considering the M11 silver vs black.. find weight a problem?
@@andersphansson8335 I don’t personally! the M11 Silver weighs the same as the M10 black that I previously had and I was happy with that
@@Goughie txs! Great videos keep on! Regards from Sweden 🇸🇪
Great video! I use the Leica Q (1) alongside the Leica M with 35 and 50 mm, but I'm thinking about selling the Leica Q and then buying the Ultron for the Leica M, or the Elmarit... (-:
Great format for your video. And a huge shoutout to the quality of your Voigtländer 28 mm lens. I decided on the 28 mm Elmarit from Leica, and it's just such a great versatile easy to shoot with lens and produces wonderful results. I use it a lot even if I try to also get more and more familiar with my 50 mm. I rarely want for anything other than the two, even though I also have a 35 mm Nokton and a 90 mm Elmarit
Read that Elmarit is a bit sharper but not so fast, seen great shots with that one
Great format- thanks for this video which mirrors my experience with this lens. Bought it because I was not sure I would like 28mm. Because of its size and the fact mentioned that using the pre set cropping feature I am carrying a 35 mm and almost a 50mm. I am at that stage in my photographic journey that I am keen to carry the m11/28 combo as my EDC outfit to make sure I shoot images everyday to gain experience.
Great new format -love it, but I can image it is much more effort and planning required to record, alone the weather dependence in UK :)
I am actually in the market for a 28mm but am unsure which one I should pick. Currently basically scouting the used market for a good deal.
Since you owned the Elmarit 28 2.8 - do you somehow still miss it in certain occasions compared to this Ultron?
Two things I miss about the Elmarit…
1. The 6 bit coding! I get a fair amount of value having the data in lightroom!
2. The sharpness of the exact lens I had was nuts, the sharpest lens I’ve ever used!
Personally get more value out of 6 bit coding than I did the sharpness!
The extra speed of the voigtlander is hard to overlook.
Given the choice assuming price isn’t an issue… it’s a honestly really tough one! I think I’d be swayed back to the Elmarit, for its tiny compact size without the hood
@@Goughie thanks a lot for your response! Your Elmarit video is one of the few why I’m currently looking out for the Elmarit instead of going to the Ultron, because of the sharpness and the size, since I love small setups :)
But the 6bit coding I didn’t thought of - thx for the hint!
Great review!
Loved the new format! The outdoors are gorgeous, and it's good for all of us to breathe in more fresh air :D
The photos are lovely too!
Cheers mate!
The Ultron has been glued to my camera too, since I realised that the extra cropability of 60 megapixel files meant I only needed to carry one lens to have both the wider 28mm perspective and my favoured 35mm field of view. Agree with everything you said about it. Ideal single lens option for the M11 - for me, at least.
Loved the different style of this video. Waiting for a Leica to fall off the back of a truck so I can try this lens out on it.
This lens is pretty much standard on my M4P. It’s great.
Great new format, great video on 28 mm I love too…
I have this lens and love it. Great performer, it does make you question why spend thousands more on a Leica lens. I also recently picked up the Thypoch 28mm 1.4 which is bigger of course but I love it so much that it's now glued to my M11.
I popped in to a Leica store and tried the Summilux 28mm and honestly can't tell the difference from the two images I shot (one with the Summilux and one with the Thypoch). Third party manufacturers have basically closed the gap at this point which is great for us.
I’ve been considering trying Thypoch! Maybe I should! I see so many good reviews about them!
@@Goughie Yeah, I had picked up the Voigtlander 1.5 Nokton originally but then preferred the bokeh of the Thypoch with the extra aperture blades so swapped over to it. I love it, it's a fantastic lens although not perfect handling (it's fine, just not perfect). Love the rendering wide open and character of it. The new collapsible 50mm from them also looks amazing but I must resist. They're killing it, I think the parent company might manufacture cine lenses which would explain a lot. :)
Very, very good photos!!!
@@kaziqmaziq6703 thank you!
I have the same one and I simply love it. One thing I have noticed tho is that my nokton 35 and ultron 28 have different 1 meter focus points which is weird. one of them is not where its supposed to be but i cant figure out whihc :D
that is weird! glad your enjoying them!
You may need to visit a technician.
I would not use force to remove it from camera. Good luck tho’, hopefully it comes off.
I’m going to try some WD-40 first! Then I’ll ask for some help if that fails
I liked your prints, from your trip to Italy? After Claire chose them where did you use to print them? I want to print a few of mine but I'm unsure of size selecting and where to use for developing.
So we actually have really cheap photobox prints in the video, from a U.K. perspective if I giveaway or sell a print I use Freshaire Ltd in Leeds
And yes! Both from Venice
Great review! I have the 35mm Ultron 2. I like it but I think my copy has a funky focusing ring. Have you seen the new 28mm 2.8 from Voigtlander? I've been thinking of picking that guy up. Since I wear glasses, I have a tough time seeing the frame lines of the 35 so there aint no way I'm seeing the 28mm but it looks like a cool little lens.
The 28mm is only just viewable without glasses I just assume the whole frame!
I did consider the f2.8! But saw mixed reviews! So ended up with the ultron!
Great video. Do you have any experience with the 35 ultron and nokton? Thinking about picking one up. Can’t decide.
Love this format!
I totally understand why you like this lens. I’ve got a CV28/1.5 and I’m really in love with it, as I’m still into the “give me more light and Bokeh” land. But the compactness of the CV28/2.0 is unsurpassed, what a lovely little lens.
I compared the CV28/1.5 to the 28 Elmarit, which was significantly less sharp at 2.8 compared to the CV @ 1.5. Voigtländer makes great lenses! Thanks for the review!
Nice job on the new format video, lens looks great awesome photos as always...lets see more of the MX5!
Cheers!! I’m make sure I show it in a future video!
The Ultron V1 znd V2 share the same optical formula, the difference is in the cosmetics. The original pre aspheric 28 F2 Ultron was optimised for film rather than digital. I have all of them and given the price, I consider them quite a bargain. Even the pre aspheric Ultron F2 performs superbly on my M240 from F4 onwards.
brotha you couldn't be more wrong. please do your research before stating such blatantly false statements. thanks
@@twinspowertv1078 As I said, I have all three of them. Do you?
I went the other way… from ultron II to Elmarit. I truly think the Elmarit is just the greatest lens ever all things considered - I even enjoy it more than my 28mm Summulux!
I do miss my elmarit!! Mine was incredibly sharp! I see it frequently on Instagram as I follow the guy who bought it 😂
@FrankDavalos you need to try the Color Skopar 28 (the new version). It’s better built than the latest Elmarit (truly!!), it’s smaller, and has just as wonderful a rendering… and that’s coming from someone who was a die hard 28 Elmarit ASPH II fan until I realized how amazing the Skopar is.
@@StuartWeir I believe you! Perhaps one day!
Try pushing the lens release button on the front of the camera....
😂😂😂 someone had to say it
Love the vibes of this video, less static than before (congrats!)
Appreciate it! Thank you!
Do you prefer this to the 28 elmarit?
@@afonsomiguelcorreia tough call, money no object probably back to the newest Elmarit, mainly for its tiny size
Hello Goughie, I have a quick question. Does the Visoflex 2 work with non Leica lenses like the Voigtlander that you use?
Yes
Yes! It’s basically just mirroring the LCD
@@CalMukumoto thanks
@@Goughie thanks. Looking to pick up a M11-P and go for a more affordable Voigtlander lens.
I go for either 21, 24 and/or 35mm Lenses, never a 28mm lens, I have never liked that focal length.
Love it! One of the best things about photography is how different we all are
@@Goughie Maybe, but I think today many automatic go on a wav saying 28 + 50. For me (and many more) the 28 and 50 just do not feel right, always either too short or too long...
@@cameraprepper7938 that is the way I feel with 35mm... Go figure. Go close with the 28 and feel the life in your photos.
@@JJ_Photo 🤣 I used a 28mm fulll frame lens for the last time several decades ago, It works fine on an APSC camera though.
Same experience 😊 I sold my 35 and 50 summiluxes and only kept the Leica 35 APO (that one is really amazing) and the 21 super elmar. The rest all voiglander! I like the noktons better than the summiluxes (75mm 1.5 and 40mm 1.2 are suberb) and the 28mm ultron is the best of the ultron series! I dare to say equally or maybe better build than the summicron and even a bit more contrast 👍🏼
Voigtlanders really are impressive! Kinda considering a full transition! Just keeping track of the which lens I used in lightroom is a paaaain!
Yes Leica not opening up to companies like voigtlander for their coding is a shame. Mat Mr. Leica has a nice video on encoding your lenses with a marker and template. Works pretty well 😊
@@mauricerijnders3507 Why should Leica? Voigtländer is a competitor.
will this fit on the x100vi ?
Everything fits if you try hard enough
Really like your videos and I always watch them almost immediately. New format is quiet nice. Got three lens also and couldn't wish for more. Great choice.
Why do people do this? It’s like putting remoulds on a Ferrari.
🥱
@@Goughie Point taken, that told me! 😂
Lucky 😌
