lct Posted October 22, 2022 Share #261 Posted October 22, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) For sharper 35mm results, you may wish to consider the Ultron 35/2 asph that is a very good lens and matches well the Ultron 28/2 asph. It has a bit of vignetting too but it is easy to adjust in PP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I own this 28 and the Summicron 50 v5 that costs 3x the price. As far as IQ the Voigtlander is as good as a Summicron. The 50 Cron has its own rendering and personality and I love it more. There is something to be said about Leica 50 Cron glass mated to a Leica sensor… the magic glow is real , but I’m pretty sure if you compare this Ultron with the 28 Cron there won’t be much difference at all. And the Ultron is smaller. The best guy to watch is MrLeica aka Matt Osbourne on YouTube. He has all the comparisons there.

MikeMyers Posted October 22, 2022 Share #263 Posted October 22, 2022 (edited) @Al Brown,and @lct, I looked over those three lenses: http://gear.vogelius.se/-reviews/leica-summicron-40/ https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1626710-REG/voigtlander_ba351c_ultron_vintage_line_35mm.html https://jacktaka.com/voigtlander-35mm-f2-apo Quoting from that last link, "If you don’t need extreme performance in your 35mm lens, the most sensible option is probably the Voigtlander 35mm f/2 Ultron. It’s extremely compact yet delivers great image quality..." I enjoy the compact design of the lens I just bought. I guess I'll just think about this for a while, before I consider buying anything, and in the meantime I've got my 35mm Summilux. Thanks for the feedback. I'll stop typing, and just sit back and read for a while. Edited October 22, 2022 by MikeMyers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

[...] Bit more vignetting, macro contrast and color fringing on the Ultron. Nothing to worry about though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its focusing tab’s paint suddenly started chipping though. Professional use. It is getting worse with time. Strangely, there is no brass underneath. Must be some cost saving thingy. Cosina has informed me that this will be fixed under warranty and that the lead time is up to 12 weeks. Sending in today. Welcome, dear visitor!

Yea mine is black paint. It’s white underneath like yours. Focus tab may be metal but it’s probably not brass. Only the body is brass. look at this worn out Skopar. Everything looks brassed except the focus tab (and the hood?). It’s like ours. Welcome, dear visitor!

That old focus tab looks way better than the photo of the worn 28 Ultron tab. The Ultron tab's paint looks like it's completely pealing off once it's chipped, which is either due to lack of surface prep, inferior paint formula, or both.

madNbad Posted November 6, 2022 Share #270 Posted November 6, 2022 It't probably aluminum. I have the 35 Ultron V2 in the silver finish and the tab is not the same material as the lens body. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdmesa Posted November 6, 2022 Share #271 Posted November 6, 2022 1 hour ago, Al Brown said: You are correct, it will just advance with slightest friction. Could be any or both. Cosina acknowledged it under warranty yet I wonder if it will happen again once I get it back. Maybe a batch of the tabs missed a surface preparation step, and the replacement tab will be ok. If not, they will need to come up with a fix. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponnefaxen Posted November 25, 2022 Share #272 Posted November 25, 2022 Debating between this 28 Ultron and 28 Elmarit v2. Looking for something smaller and a tad wider to complement my 35 lux. Anyone who has used both and can tell me how much bigger the Ultron is? And any other opinions from people who has used both would be appreciated!

MikeMyers Posted November 25, 2022 Share #273 Posted November 25, 2022 If it matters, there is a huge difference in selling price. Lots of reviews on both lenses, for making a comparison choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vignetting at f/4 is about the same if not a little less than the Summicron 28mm ASPH II. This image either cannot be f/4 or the vignette was added in post. The Ultron just vignettes objectionably at f/2. Even at f/2.8 it's a lot better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lct Posted November 27, 2022 Share #278 Posted November 27, 2022 On real world photos i can't seem to see differences between Summicron 28/2 v2 and Ultron 28/2 asph v1 re vignetting at f/4. Comparisons are not very easy though as the actual focal length of the Ultron is slightly longer than that of the Summicron which FoV is a bit wider accordingly. F2 is another story as mentioned above but the Ultron is significantly smaller. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
