While I also see the world a little more in 35mm, the 28 Ultron is so nice that I'll make it work over the 35 Ultron. No buyers remorse on this one...     e01ec3aa5db0cc3f50673cc0c091

Correct! I've attended a conference in Sapporo and stayed a few days longer to visit Osaka, Kyoto and Tokyo (first time in Japan). On topic:

Here is a sample of the lens wide open on a M10-R. It was the black paint version.

Hi, i’m wondering whether purchasing rhe voigtlander 28mm f2 ii or the elmarit 28mm asph ii. 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.

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!

I haven't tried the Elmarit, but I had the Summicron Asph II and sold it after testing it side by side with the Ultron Asph II. The Ultron II is a tiny lens with a great performance.

Check out the test images I have uploaded here:

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.

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?

I tested it against the sun etc. at the time after I got it. The tests convinced me that a lens hood isn't necessary.

Hi, with a cheap screw-in hood you have some blockage, but you can see through it somewhat :

I also have a bayonet fitted hood, which is a little smaller, but solid, no see trough ...

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?

Das Bokeh ist für ein 28er wirklich ansprechend!
Der Ultron "Pop"auch und die Kompaktheit eh ...

Habe mit dem neuen Ultron 28 mein 28er Elmarit IV ersetzt; hattest Du das nicht auch?
Das Elmarit hatte ja auch ein vergleichsweise gutes Bokeh.
Wie siehst Du die Unterschiede diesbezüglich bei den Beiden?

 

Hi, maybe, I should show a 28 BBC (Bokeh Ball Comparison) sometime ...
