Are there any reviews yet on these lenses, I’m particularly interested in the 21

[gromit]

Any news, tests or something?

[stephengv]

Same question here, any test?

[danieldouloslee]

Yes please! I am hoping to get my hands on the Ultron 35/2 (price would be great too).

I am also looking forward to read a review. 

[rsolomon]

I’ve looked around recently, no news to speak of. It’s not available yet in the US as far as I can tell. 

[rsolomon]

Among other things ....I really really hope the lens is sharp, can be 6 bit coded and has no color fringing tendencies.

A small review of the 21/3.5 can be found here.

Looks like I'm ordering it

I received 35mm F2 asph Ultron (with hood).

It is beautiful, with a classical look in black color. It matches very well with the hood. Personally, hood seems to be a must-buy.

Another strength is its weight (less than 200 g).

Color rendering is modern, with slightly warm tone. Bokeh is rather classical.

Central resolution at f2 is very sharp (top quality). I did not test peripheral resolution yet.

 

As overall, it is strongly recommended if you are looking for classical looking lightweight 35mm f2 lens with excellent central resolution and color rendition.

Could you post an example? 100% crop?

Thanks!

Will be very interesting to see it in a direct comparison with the Ultron 35 f1.7 VM!

Especially regarding the Bokeh ...

[rsolomon]

Exciting and looking for reviews! 

Can it be 6 bit coded?

 

[feelssadman]

Both lenses will cost 799$ in the US markets (LR) whereas the 35/2 costs 749€ and the 21/3.5 costs 799€ in the region of Benelux and Germany.

[stephengv]
