I hear the Voiglander Ultron 28mm f2 is Amazing lens

Bagged one for £500. Paired it with my M9-P. Enjoyed using it.

Hey, Mike. Love the video. It coincides with my own views of the lens. I have one for sale that's recently been CLAd and looks like new. You mentioned you're looking for one, so I sent you an email to give you details. Please check, in case it went to spam.

Were the photos directly from the camera? WOW dam... such a very natural detail and pleasants colours to the eye

Hello mate What is difference between this lens? Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM vs Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM ?

Digital is too clean, too sharp. Not a fan! Need to add Grains and decrease sharpness.

Thanks! I agree 97%. Weight and size are very important to me.

28mm (or wider) rules!

Cant wait to try this out.

Your client and brand deals may give you a living ,but your CZcams channel is not ,social blade is very very accurate website and your particular channel makes a maximum of £5800 per year according to social blade .

I always hated the silver ring on the voigtlanders as well. Just give me an all black lens! In saying that I’ll be getting this based on the price vs quality benefits!

Why not just unscrew the infinity lock on your lens?

Nah, everything is distorted…. no subject concentration and everything is more or less in focus. Too much visual noise as everything is included. All I have seen are snapshot quality photos..

Funny how you're wishing for a 28mm.. when I find the 28 is too wide 95% of the time and I'm looking into a 40 :). Grass is always greener, right?

A few months ago, I received the 35mm version of this lens from Typoch, and it's become my go-to lens for my X-Pro 3. I love the way it renders colors. I'm excited to try the 28mm version as well, and I can't wait to take it out for some street photography.

Why didn’t you just keep using your Q2? I bought a SL3 because I needed a body to use different focal lengths and different lens lines, but I kept my Q2 and always take it with me to be my primary or secondary camera. In Leica pricing terms, a Q2/Q3 costs the same as buying a Leica 28mm SL or M lens. The other advantage is that rather than fiddling around and changing lenses on a SL or M, with a Q2/3 you can pull the camera out of your bag and it is immediately ready to go.

Interesting point it is closer to 35 than a 50. I love my 35 Cron IV for the same reason, so small, and light. just mentally feels effortless. It performs well with a good bokeh. It gets the most use of all my M lenses.

Completely agree that 28mm and up close just makes it feel really nice and present. But when doing street/doc/journalism type stuff I just feel so anxious about getting as close as I'd realistically like for the most pleasing image. I find that a 35mm is a happy medium for me when I'm photographing real people and locations.

The infinity-lock is actually a remnant from the old screw-mount times. Locking the focus ring helped a lot with unscrewing the lenses back then. I had a Canon 50 1.4 LTM some time ago and this one had the lock ... and I hated it as well ;-)

Sorry Mike. It retails for £684 in the UK!

So 18mm APS-C?

Are they releasing a 28mm equivalent on Fuji X mount or the exact same 28mm? In my opinion that focal length on Fuji is way overpopulated.

Size wise ... when you put it next to the 28MM 1.7 of the Q/2/3, it's significantly smaller... about the same length, but significantly smaller in diameter. Basically I was surprised how "small" it was in person, but yeah, it's a chunky boy when compared to other compact lenses.

I am using the wide angle adaptor on my x100v taking it to 28 ish mm more and more these days. Shooting from the hip is so much easier than with the 35.

23-28mm is just 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼

Nice lens, similar to the Zeiss 28mm f/2, and smaller also. The silver front ring is polished metal, so it will not,show marks from mounting filters or the lens shade. Since this is s locking ring mount, I prefer polished metal here, the lens shade hides the silver ring. Also, you will get better Micro contrast, if you use the lens shade in most situations. It also adds a bit of protection for the lens. I have the Zeiss 28mm with the F mount, and it is also a wonderful lens, and was a favorite of Hollywood Cine photographers. Cheers

28 Elmarit is so awesome, it’s such a sharp tiny lens. Yes it’s 2.8 but for street I don’t really care. I have it paired with an M11 and…😮‍💨 I love the portability of the setup.

Give me 35 or give me death 😅

If you are really picky you would not say it is as good as a summi 😂😢 I swap your 35 summi for another cheap 35 if you like hehe then you're double happy . Get real man 😂

I have one of this in silver. Because the focus ring is really close to the mount, with the infinity lock it will be easier to attach/remove the lens. It’s an unpopular opinion but I like it 😊

This thing looks like an absolute peach. On my wishlist alongside an M11...

Mike Chudley, You're so talented! I had to hit the like button!

Same focal length as an iPhone. Does that make it less special?

Wonderful review, glad you stayed away from specs and just spoke about the experience itself

Ooooh they will soon be releasing a version in X-Mount! I look forward to someone making a comparison between the Symera 28mm and the Voigtlander Ultron 27mm!

Why do they keep printing photos enlarged across the book folds? Destroys the composition completely.

I just bought a pristine Q2 at Leica Coral Gables/Miami. I actually flew down to pick it up. Spent the weekend, and flew home with my new L

Congratulations mate! that's a fantastic milestone. I've been chipping away at my POV photography channel and the results are slowly building, it's good to hear this. It takes time but you never know if you don't try! ❤

I really don’t like that Cartier-Bresson photo that I’m supposed to think is great. I think it absolutely sucks.

Must feel good living in a civilized place

do most Leica owners own Tesla's and Pelotons?... just curious (always in jest)

Such a cool video, it was absolute pleasure watching it.

Really enjoyed this, nice and chill to watch. The flowers guy on the bike, and the 'When the sun shines on you" were some of my favourites

7 minute video with a 3 minute sponsorship? Really? almost half the video...

Bravo

Does time really important in Street Photography ? Like morning or evening or full day ?

Is your Nostalgic negative recepie compatible with the X100VI? have you tried? because i read that the x100vi is different due by the blue chrome effect

soon as i get by from travelling im gunna grab a copy of this. Oh maybe not its sold out 😞

This is a really good video man. Im keen for a new phone as im unhappy with my Pixel and all im really interested in is the camera being as good as it can be so this looks spot on. Some of your shots were brilliant btw.

Nice little niffty 50. Using at the moment. Was that Mark Newton from the school of photography having coffee you photographed ?
