Very nice review for a lens i didnt know existed. Im on the itch to get into leica m mount system and the price are eye watering. How does this lens compare to the leica 28 2.8 or 28 f2 ? Also more important how does the muscle memory works on this lens ? Is it easy to zone focus without looking the lens ? Is the distance between 0,5m 0,7 and 1,5m enough that one can use all of them without looking ?
It’s a great lens. Similar to the Elmarit but the elmarit is superior. The operation of the elmarit is easier. This lens is lighter though. Great lens for day time. Aperture ring not my favorite thing but you get used to it. Easy to focus with
Thank you for your answer :) i am planing to use the lens for street photography so im not going to constantly changing the aperture but ease on zone focus is very important.
@ looking forward! Trying to decide between this and the Ultron ii when I already have the Elmarit 11606… key advantage of the Voigtlander lenses being the closer focus
This lens produces an image quality comparable to the naked eye to the Elmarit with close focus and in much lighter and smaller footprint. I don’t understand how voigtlander pulled it off 🙂
What do you think about its image quality ? i'm looking for a 28mm for my M11-P, but i'm hesitating between the Voigtlander 28mm Color Skopar II and the Voigtlander 28mm Ultron F2 Type II. Have you tested both ? thank you for your answer :)
You will have to remove the lens cap. And attach the pro mist. The lens cap then will attach to the filter. Make sure it has threading. I use tiffens or Polar Pro filters
The silver lens looks good on the black M11-P. But, boy, you have a lot of gear now. What is the watch? And why would you need to shoot at f/22. I thought that anything above f/11 was a no-no. (?)
Sorry, I don't have Instagram. I'm putting a HARD limit on Leica gear 🤞, but I just got offered a new Patek, and my video on it will come up very soon,,,
@@GastonShutters waiting for the Pixii to arrive and ordered this lens to be prepared. I’ve debated on the pixii forever and saved a tad on black Friday so I went for it.
I bought it. I have nothing to say about it. It is a high-quality modern lens designed for an audience who is very picky and critical. No way I would buy a Leitz lens at four times the price second hand only for taking pictures.
It’s a really good lens. Light with great image quality and close focus at 0.5 m. Amazing what VL is doing optically and how well this lenses are priced
What's your take on Voiglander lenses?
The 40mm 1.2 m mount is amazing.
@@D.Trider I own the 1.4 version and love that little guy.
Cool! When will the follow up video come? ☺️
Not sure yet
Cool lens and excellent review looking forward to images
Glad you liked it. Following up with another video soon

Yeah. Ideal for a street photo
Was there a follow up review to this? Thanks!
Coming soon!

@@GastonShutters thanks Gaston!!
Would love to see a remake of the 35 f2 that looks like this.
That’d be nice

Have not tried both but the image quality of this lens is good. The Ultron may be better and it’s faster. But have to try it still
@@GastonShutters Thank you for your answer :)
Anytime
Muy buena la información , monten más videos al respecto !
Will do
can you use a black pro mist filter with the lens cap on?
You will have to remove the lens cap. And attach the pro mist. The lens cap then will attach to the filter. Make sure it has threading. I use tiffens or Polar Pro filters
@@GastonShuttersomg lol so sorry I meant lens hood 🤦🏽♂️
All good

Hey man. Kind of like you 😬 feeding the GAS. It goes to f22 because the design allows it. F16 in most lenses is a no go.
@@GastonShutters WOW, impressive watch. Congrats on owning!

Awesome man. Looking forward to it
I just ordered this for my Pixii
Awesome. Intrigued about that camera. How do you like it?

@@sdhute intrigue on that M APSC no screen experience. I may get one at one point. Let me know how you like it
No single photo was taken. Ridiculous
It was a first look like the title states it. Full review Coming up with tons of photos

Nice watch bra
Focus and aperture seem very slack 😮
It’s very clicky on mine
