I got a 28 Elmarit about a month ago, and I find that I’m liking the 28mm more that I thought I would. Historically, I’m a 50 or 35 guy, but the 28 provides some real opportunities.
About the purple fringing/ smuding. It has something to do with how steep angle of the light coming out from the back lens to the edge of the sensor. Leica Digital Ms has microprisms built infront the sensor to compensate for this, hence you do not get this purple fringing or smudging on Leica M. I also read somewhere that the glass stacks on Canon cameras are really thick, they also use anti alsiasing filter infront of the sensor. making M mount lenses not so nice on the Canon bodies. Anways amazing images as always!
Thank you, I shoot my Ultron on a Canon RP. Ignorance is indeed bliss, been pretty happy with my match up. The one big annoyance has been infinity focus, you can not focus all the way to the stop. Put that down to the adapter but you might have the right reason. Big pro for this lens is that at small f stops and auto iso it is essentially a point and shoot camera with no need for auto focus. Auto focus was a let down with the RP and kit lens.
I shot the zeiss 28 for years and years and in the past few months after some gear moving around, I picked up the v2 of the voigtlander. It's just as good, slightly less harsh, and still plenty sharp!
I think I heard that the "mismatch" of the sensor with other full frame mirrorless cameras is a result of the sensor stack, meaning there are different layers in front of the sensor to for example block infrared. The M-mount lenses, as a result of their size and how deep they sit in the body, project the image on the sensor (or film) in a way that the edges and corners receive their light in a very strong angle and therefor hitting these layers in front of the sensor in a way that they were not designed for.
Some stellar shots in here. In my street photography days, I exclusively used a 28mm elmarit f2.8 . Until, of course, it got harder to shoot in Melbourne without people being offended or feeling attacked.
@@pushingfilm I find that really weird. Some guy ran straight up to my face at a protest a few months ago to take a shot and I was like, "glad to be of service photographer dude". 😆
Great video. I just shot a full-length feature with two Minolta vintage lenses adapted to a Panasonic S5. A 28mm Telesor, f/2.8, and a 50mm Rokkor, f/1.4. 28mm has always been my favorite focal length. Great images here, thanks so much for sharing
Great video with some insightful perspectives on using a 28mm focal length. My personal experience with 28mm wasn't a hit. Starting with a 50mm lens and later transitioning to 35mm, I found 28mm too wide initially. Wearing glasses made it difficult to locate the frame lines in the viewfinder. However, when I tried a 21mm lens along with an excellent external viewfinder, I was completely impressed. I'm quite content with 21mm now and have parted ways with my 28mm lens. Perhaps in the future, I'll revisit 28mm and give it another shot.
Some spectacular images in there! I’ve had a bit of a love-hate relationship with 28mm lenses on Leica M bodies, only because I find the frame lines a little too close to the edge of the viewfinder. The new 28mm Ultron is a spectacular lens, I had it and sold it only because of my aversion to that focal length on Leica M bodies. The issue with M lenses on mirrorless is mostly related to thickness of the sensor’s cover glass. On Leica M and SL bodies they use very thin cover glass, normally less than 1mm in thickness. Sony and Canon cameras use a thicker fitting. But there are ways to deal with the colour shifts, particularly in Capture 1 you can make LCC profiles that will help to correct the sides of the frame. It’s not a perfect solution but it works. I should also mention the longer the focal length the less of a problem it becomes. 50mm lenses should work quite well on most mirrorless bodies.
Hey, thanks very much and sorry for the late reply! That makes sense, I've heard something similar. Yeah I found that 50 was mostly fine or easier to correct.
I discovered the 28mm focal length quite late and since. I have to say that I like it a lot for the reason you mention. My trinity in the Nikon world are 28 1.4 / 58 1.4 / 105 1.4 In the Leica world the Q is the best choice I think
Love the two compositions of the boat and ramp with people disembarking. I Moved from RX100 to Fuji GFX system with GF45, approx 35mm. But now still carry the RX100 alongside the GFX to give me 28mm equivalent field of view for deep perspective shots. 28 does have a certain magic.
Have it for my Leica M film body, adapted it to the x-pro3 too. Loved using it so much on both. 28mm and 42mm équivalent that I ended up getting the 27mm Ultron recently released for c-mount.
Very informative video about how to shoot 28mm. I've always struggled a bit with how to use that focal length. I currently have a Fuji 18mm (28mm equivalent) which is a superb lens but I constantly think I should have got the 23mm (35mm equivalent) instead. I think I better understand now how to go about using it - thanks!!
If you're interested in shooting M-Mount lenses on digital bodies with thicker sensors (like the Canon R6, Sony A7Rx), there are modifications out there to upgrade to an ultrathin sensor which will greatly improve or remove or at the very least improve the issue for M-mount lenses. I'm looking into the Kolari Ultrathin mod for my Sony A7Rii since I shoot exclusively m-mount lenses these days. EDIT: Oh and fantastic video by the way, this motivated me to pick up a 28 ultron and shoot 28 again, thanks!
I’ve never been drawn to 28, but after watching your vid, I want to explore it. I have an excellent 28mm Minolta MD mount which I’m going to adapt to mirrorless and explore. Thanks for this excellent review.
I use the 28 version 2. It’s one of the best m-mount lenses I own. It works well enough for me that I have no desire to sell it for something more expensive.
Thanks! Great pictures. I have version two and I love it. The flashy chrome is hidden by the sunhood.😊 The only thing that bothers me is that with the hood, I sometimes find it difficult to turn the diaphragm ring. I can't feel it.
Another great review Hashem! I can appreciate the uses of 28, but I'm a 50 user, since my surrounds aren't as built up and crowded as these city scapes!
I have read that it has to do with the thickness of the sensor stack - at the steep angle of incidence at the edges of the sensor it has to go through a thick stack and causes more artifact.
I had this lens for the exact reasons you mentioned, however I guess I should say that in terms of build quality this lens is definitely not up to snuff for a few reasons. The lens started wobbling after a few months of ownership, some portions of the internal is plastic, if that wears out then you'll have a loose wobbly lens. My copy of the Ultron was also back focusing about 0.3m. That's significant enough for it to be basically unuseable quickly, wide open since you have to account for the back focusing and you can no longer trust the RF patch. The new ASPH I also went into a store to try, BOTH copies they had in store backfocused and even the staff at the shop was upset at that... It also has a minimum focus distance of 0.5m, so all the muscle memory built into that 0.7m minimum focus distance is thrown off by how close the ASPH version can focus. These are obviously fairly nitpicky details, but figured I'd mention this since these are all the things that led me to pulling the trigger on a 28mm Elmarit ASPH, which you can get for about 1.5x the price of the new Ultron.
Hey, yeah I think I remember you messaged me about this! Shame to hear that it didn't work out. I wonder if you just had really bad luck with your copies, or if it's quite common... Mine has held up quite well and I've taken it through a lot. No focus issues either (but I guess I'd need a digital M to test it accurately)
I got one precisely last weekend (second hand). I'm more a 35mm and 50mm, but I think that for certain situations and styles (photojournalism) is a great option. Looking forward for more of your pictures to get some inspiration. Cheers!
I do not have a Voigtländer 28mm f/2 for my Leica. The closest I have is a 28mm f/2 Zeiss Distagon for my Nikon SLR. I assume there is little difference in image quality between the Zeiss and the Voigtländer.
I briefly tried the new one. I’m not sure I like it better. The rendering looked less ‘organic’ to my eyes. Perhaps slightly sharper but I prefer the feel of the images I get from the version 1.
When I look back through my photos, a lot of my favorites were shot with a 28mm. It’s not as “safe” as a 35mm, wide and challenges you to compose with more depth.
I find that there's around one stop difference in Zone focusing between 35 and 28. With the 28 I'm comfortable at F8, with the 35 it needs to be F11. If you can zone focus at F8 on a 35, you'll be able to do it at f5.6 on a 28. You gain a stop.
Great video mate, cheers! I've really tried to appreciate 28mm in general (Canon FD system) but I struggle with it as I'm more of a tight lens kind of guy myself. But one day I might learn, who knows. :)
I'd love to hear your thoughts on the new version. I've had the same as you for years, and I really love it -- partly for it's less contrasty look. I shoot it on the M10, and I'm worried that it'll start to look to modern and contrasty with a much improved lens, lol. So I'd be curious. Also, your work is wonderful.
Thanks for the video Hash and your images are great ! Theres a certain dynamism in many of them. Did you Trent Parke use an Elmarit 28mm for the images in his latest book ?
recently bought a 12mm 7artisan t2.8 for my fuji.. still trying to get use to being that wide LOL, but i am a true 50mm kind of guy, i don't come across enormous crowds that i can walk right into, so i find wider than 50 to be frustrating because i don't want to walk into my subject, it's not like NY crowds LOL
Just got a 28mm Summicron ASPH V1, video couldn’t have came at a more perfect time. Also, I’d really like some info if that quick rewind lever you put on your MA, if there’s a special way to put it on or it just snaps on? Thanks!
Hey, I have the Soom one which just slides over the rewind knob and tightens with a tiny screw using the included allen key. Sorry I just recently saw your previous messages asking about it!
@@pushingfilm no worries! I got the soom as well per your recommendation! I’ll use the wrench to tighten it. Thank you for the response! 🙌🏾 I have an MA as well per your videos :)
I have a 28mm by owning a Leica Q2 and 35mm Voitglander on my M11. Both are amazing but I wonder whether 28mm is too close to 35mm. Have you ever used a 24mm lens and, if so, what did you think vs a 28mm?
I kind of cursed myself in a way when I tried voigtlander on a whim. I got the 21mm f/4 ( used on xpro2) and 40mm 1.4. Then eventually the 35mm 2.5. I've since traded the 40 and 35, but every lens that wasn't voigtlander after that, I have not liked at all. I can't use AF anymore. Though very helpful, It just feels awful now. My 21mm has become my primary lens. I feel most at home using it. I may get the 3.5 version and then a 35mm and a 50mm for occasion.
On the wide lens I use Sigma 28mm F1.4, on the normal lens I use 40mm, Sigma version of the lens came from their cine lens. I actually own the trilogy of lens, 28mm, 40mm and 105mm F1.4. I never quite like the 35mm and 50mm. I like 28mm and 40mm.
I find that I like 28. Then remember that I have to stand really close to people, so I switch back to 50. Edit: that being said, 55mm on 6x7 is my favorite focal length, which has equivalent FOV.
Dont worry about the pronunciation. It wasnt too long ago when I found out that the "i" is silent. About the lens, I'm sure its great but personally I'm saving up for an Elmarit because the Voigtländer focus tap is just a bit too small for my liking and I can only use it with my finger tip instead of finger itself (if its the same as the one on the 35mm color skopar).
Hashem, The proper German pronunciation is easily solved by putting Voigtländer into Google Translate from English to German & listen to it using the voice mode. The German letter V (fau) sounds more like an F, and the a with the umlaut on top makes it sound like going from ahh to ehh...so Foit-lender, to me anyways. I learnt it from scratch over 3 1/2 years. Anyways, see how you go, man! 🤙🏼
I believe the mismatch with digital sensors, outside of Leica, has to do with the thickness of the digital sensors and how the angles of light approach the photoreceptors. Leica has the thinnest sensors in the game and, as such, the lenses work best on them!
Please no POLITICAL ...images here , I do not visit your channel to be " schooled " about social issues .... Stick to the human tale not the Political Pundit or Propagandists images please ... Thank You : C .
28mm is just a focal length that has really grown on me over the years. I have about 13 different 28's now and just love them.
I got a 28 Elmarit about a month ago, and I find that I’m liking the 28mm more that I thought I would. Historically, I’m a 50 or 35 guy, but the 28 provides some real opportunities.
The 28mm + 50mm combo is so good day to day.
Elmarit 28 gang! I love mine.
Really appreciate your clear explanation of the advantages of a 28mm lens, vs 35mm or longer. Thanks!

Your pronunciation of Voigtländer is certainly not very German, but at least it's pretty sexy. Great work. 👌💚

where is the shot at 6:32 taken?
Frankston Pier
If you can afford to spend more money, go for the new V2. The difference in image quality is huge.
Hashem,
The proper German pronunciation is easily solved by putting Voigtländer into Google Translate from English to German & listen to it using the voice mode.
The German letter V (fau) sounds more like an F, and the a with the umlaut on top makes it sound like going from ahh to ehh...so Foit-lender, to me anyways. I learnt it from scratch over 3 1/2 years.
Anyways, see how you go, man! 🤙🏼
I believe the mismatch with digital sensors, outside of Leica, has to do with the thickness of the digital sensors and how the angles of light approach the photoreceptors. Leica has the thinnest sensors in the game and, as such, the lenses work best on them!
