I CANT TAKE THIS LENS OFF MY LEICA - VOIGTLANDER 28MM ULTRON 

I’ve been watching your show since the beginning great. I’m 76 now and remember my father who was avid photographer handing me an all manual Minolta sr1 & a Weston hand meter and a book on photography. To this day I still love taking photos. Keep up the videos they are very enjoyable. Howard

Great format- thanks for this video which mirrors my experience with this lens. Bought it because I was not sure I would like 28mm. Because of its size and the fact mentioned that using the pre set cropping feature I am carrying a 35 mm and almost a 50mm. I am at that stage in my photographic journey that I am keen to carry the m11/28 combo as my EDC outfit to make sure I shoot images everyday to gain experience.

Great review! Loved the new format! The outdoors are gorgeous, and it's good for all of us to breathe in more fresh air :D The photos are lovely too! Cheers mate!

New format APPROVED. Nice to see you out in the world, @Goughie

Great format for your video. And a huge shoutout to the quality of your Voigtländer 28 mm lens. I decided on the 28 mm Elmarit from Leica, and it's just such a great versatile easy to shoot with lens and produces wonderful results. I use it a lot even if I try to also get more and more familiar with my 50 mm. I rarely want for anything other than the two, even though I also have a 35 mm Nokton and a 90 mm Elmarit

Great video. I am a big fan of voigtlander lenses. When I got my M11-P I got the summilux 50mm f1.4 ASPH II. But then fell in love with the 50 and 35mm APO Lanther from Voigtlander. Recently I got two more lenses, the 21mm f3.5 color skopar and the 75mm f1.5. These lenses are killers. As for the 28mm I considering to get the one you just reviewed, but the black version.

Great new format, great video on 28 mm I love too…

i came back from a trip to bali recently with the 28 ultron and 35 cron, the ultron was glued to the camera the whole time. It's honestly such a great travel lens and balances superb on m-bodies.

Nice job on the new format video, lens looks great awesome photos as always...lets see more of the MX5!

Love the vibes of this video, less static than before (congrats!)

Great video, man. Loving my Voigtlander 50mm at the moment and have been considering the 35 Ultron. That 28 looks killer.

I totally understand why you like this lens. I’ve got a CV28/1.5 and I’m really in love with it, as I’m still into the “give me more light and Bokeh” land. But the compactness of the CV28/2.0 is unsurpassed, what a lovely little lens. I compared the CV28/1.5 to the 28 Elmarit, which was significantly less sharp at 2.8 compared to the CV @ 1.5. Voigtländer makes great lenses! Thanks for the review!

The Ultron has been glued to my camera too, since I realised that the extra cropability of 60 megapixel files meant I only needed to carry one lens to have both the wider 28mm perspective and my favoured 35mm field of view. Agree with everything you said about it. Ideal single lens option for the M11 - for me, at least.

Really like your videos and I always watch them almost immediately. New format is quiet nice. Got three lens also and couldn't wish for more. Great choice.

I prefer your new format. Closer to real world shooting. I also have this lens (in silver/black) and shoot it primarily on the M11M. Not because I don't like its colour rendering but because for colour at 28mm I use the Q3. As for it being slightly soft at the edges wide open, it doesn't faze me as I usually shoot it at smaller apertures anyway. To be honest, I only shoot the Q3 at f1.7 or f2 when inside or at night anyway. Mostly I shoot it at f4 to f8.

I have this lens and love it. Great performer, it does make you question why spend thousands more on a Leica lens. I also recently picked up the Thypoch 28mm 1.4 which is bigger of course but I love it so much that it's now glued to my M11. I popped in to a Leica store and tried the Summilux 28mm and honestly can't tell the difference from the two images I shot (one with the Summilux and one with the Thypoch). Third party manufacturers have basically closed the gap at this point which is great for us.

Great video! I use the Leica Q (1) alongside the Leica M with 35 and 50 mm, but I'm thinking about selling the Leica Q and then buying the Ultron for the Leica M, or the Elmarit... (-:

Great new format -love it, but I can image it is much more effort and planning required to record, alone the weather dependence in UK :) I am actually in the market for a 28mm but am unsure which one I should pick. Currently basically scouting the used market for a good deal. Since you owned the Elmarit 28 2.8 - do you somehow still miss it in certain occasions compared to this Ultron?

Loved the different style of this video. Waiting for a Leica to fall off the back of a truck so I can try this lens out on it.

I liked your prints, from your trip to Italy? After Claire chose them where did you use to print them? I want to print a few of mine but I'm unsure of size selecting and where to use for developing.

Great review! I have the 35mm Ultron 2. I like it but I think my copy has a funky focusing ring. Have you seen the new 28mm 2.8 from Voigtlander? I've been thinking of picking that guy up. Since I wear glasses, I have a tough time seeing the frame lines of the 35 so there aint no way I'm seeing the 28mm but it looks like a cool little lens.

Given the quality of the Leica M11, I really thought there was a physical problem with the mount that would prevent you from removing the lens. XD

what bout the 35mm ultron? anyone like that one too?

This lens is pretty much standard on my M4P. It’s great.

I have the same one and I simply love it. One thing I have noticed tho is that my nokton 35 and ultron 28 have different 1 meter focus points which is weird. one of them is not where its supposed to be but i cant figure out whihc :D

Same experience 😊 I sold my 35 and 50 summiluxes and only kept the Leica 35 APO (that one is really amazing) and the 21 super elmar. The rest all voiglander! I like the noktons better than the summiluxes (75mm 1.5 and 40mm 1.2 are suberb) and the 28mm ultron is the best of the ultron series! I dare to say equally or maybe better build than the summicron and even a bit more contrast 👍🏼

I went the other way… from ultron II to Elmarit. I truly think the Elmarit is just the greatest lens ever all things considered - I even enjoy it more than my 28mm Summulux!

Hello Goughie, I have a quick question. Does the Visoflex 2 work with non Leica lenses like the Voigtlander that you use?

The Ultron V1 znd V2 share the same optical formula, the difference is in the cosmetics. The original pre aspheric 28 F2 Ultron was optimised for film rather than digital. I have all of them and given the price, I consider them quite a bargain. Even the pre aspheric Ultron F2 performs superbly on my M240 from F4 onwards.

will this fit on the x100vi ?

You may need to visit a technician. I would not use force to remove it from camera. Good luck tho’, hopefully it comes off.

I go for either 21, 24 and/or 35mm Lenses, never a 28mm lens, I have never liked that focal length.

Try pushing the lens release button on the front of the camera....

Lucky 😌

Why do people do this? It’s like putting remoulds on a Ferrari.

我也超喜欢28焦段，推荐Goughie试下color-skopar28mm F2.8,小巧迷人画质好
