Have anyone tried both and do a comparison between them? I am a big fan of Voigtlander lenses, I own quite a few of them but not the 28mm Ultron, but the 28mm Elmarit is a "jewel" of a lens, one of the best of Leica's line-up for a long time. All things being equal, which of course they're not in this imperfect Leica World, I'd go for the Elamrit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 11, 2022 Share #42 Posted January 11, 2022 Just now, Al Brown said: The lens was a black paint version. Some people are interested in that. I leave the black chrome body test to you. Sorry Al, I couldn't resist!.....But what neckstrap was used? There I go again! Actually, on the M10-R topic, I've just found a demo R at a ridiculous discount, full warranty etc etc.......Not interested in the M11 at this time but I'm very tempted in regards to the R. Cheers!

The Ultron II is a tiny lens with a great performance.

Lord Len Posted January 14, 2022 Share #45 Posted January 14, 2022 I recently purchased the 28mm Ultron type ii and finally have a day off today to walk around to do some shooting. I was in the same process as you &I went with the Ultron type ii due to its small size , brass construction and price. I figure for that price range I can't loose. Purchased from a dealer so I can return if it does not meet my standards and I have money left in the lens budget to buy a different focal length or I'm more than halfway to getting the elmarit.

Guest Posted January 21, 2022 Share #51 Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) My VC 28mm f2 Ultron arrived today......what a great lens. I sold my little used Summicron 28mm f2 ASPH and replaced it with the Voigtlander f2. I love the almost "no VF blockage", ( which was the main reason I sold the 'cron ). I don't have a lens hood for it yet, may not get one, but for those that do have the hood what is the VF blockage like?

The bokeh is really appealing for a 28mm lens! The Ultron "pop" too and the compactness anyway ... Replaced my 28 Elmarit IV with the new Ultron 28; didn't you have that too? The Elmarit also had a comparatively good bokeh. How do you see the differences in this respect between the two? Edited January 22, 2022 by cp995 Wrong language ...
