請問，與 Voigtlander 28mm f2.8 color Skopar 做選擇，會選哪一顆呢，以街拍為主，謝謝

I really enjoy this lens (V1 asph). It was my first Leica lens and I used it for over 10 years on my M6. When I switched to the M10R I noticed a slight Italian flag effect on my digital images. I can fix it with corner fix but I wonder if the updated version was made to address this issue. It might be the micro lens layout on the 40MP sensor. Not sure. Have you had that issue as well. Is it just the M10R. Nobody talks about it but for me it’s a small disappointment that you have to fix color shifts on a 2500 EUR lens. Keep up the great work!

Thanks Jimmy! I’m about to replace my Zeiss ZM for the lux, what’s your real-world experience of focus shift on the fle?

why did you get the silver one on the black body?

A very helpful video! This lens looks great and fits my needs. I don't care much about sharpness, but I'm torn between this one and the Leica 50mm f/2.5 lens. How do they compare in terms of atmosphere and color rendering?

Like in every comparison you do you are able to make Leica lenses Look Bad. I Wonder if that is in purpose. I would like to know if These are unedited raw Images and would like to know the Software used.

Right from the Intro Shots I could Tell that I did not like the nokton. Typical Voigtländer Color and Rendering. Looks like shooting a Film Camera with expired Film 😅

50mm f1.2 is better.

The sonnar makes digital look like film for me. I absolutely adore it.

youre absolutely right about leica quality drops down last years . for instance in last two years ive had 6 brand new m11 of all modifications. 3 of them were defective hardware wise . same goes to lenses brand new luxes and apos ,. out of 7-8 lenses only 2 ! were fine 5-6 were defective or damaged upon assembly yet still packaged and shipped to me . 3 visofles 2 out of 4 were poorly assembled . its a shame I love the brand . love the prestige and rarity of . I was to never use any 3d party lens up to now . im sick of it . and have decided to buy 1-2 voigtlanders .

Wonderful comparison ! Do you think Simmulux 50mm 1'4 Pre ASPH is worth buying if someone has Zeiss 50mm f/1.5 C-Sonnar ?

Hi Jimmy, I bought the Voiglander 50mm f/1.5 Norton for my M monochrom Type 246. The photos are very sharp, but Leica don't recognize the Voiglander lenses. I tried to set it as the Summilux 50mm f1/1.4, but it failed to capture the aperture setting. For example, the aperture setting is 1.4, and the camera data shows as f16. Do you have any advice to work around this problem. Thank you.

Got one for my Leica CL film camera. Also got the 28mm view finder since I don’t have frame lines for that one. Excited! Been shooting 40mm too much and ready to get wide!

2:18 Damn this music really reminds me of Kawata Shoujo OST, really nostalgic

how about the 28 1.4 typoch simera?

Hi Jimmy, out of curiosity, do you send your Leica cameras to Leica annually for annual maintenance? Is it necessary to do this maintenance to ensure the range finder works precisely?

I bought this lens when I was in Japan and been using it since then, it's the sharpest 28mm I have ever used , considering the size of it, I think voigtlander has done great job.

I think that's the smallest difference I've seen so far between voigtlander and leica equivalent lenses.

…all true - or not! In 1980 I bought a Leica M 4 P, as well as a 35 mm summicron plus a 75 mm summilux to go with it. I don‘t own the M4P any more but I am still using my old fashion lenses, slightly modified (6-bit) now with an M10M, and there is nothing to complain about!

I’m considering a Voigtlander for my Fuji X-T3. Does anyone have any experience with that combination?

Jimmy, I've owned the Voigtlander 28mm f2 Ultron for nearly 2 years and its a fantastic lens. It gives an M shooter everything they need in a 28mm lens. I currently have the same black version you show in this video but I'm about to sell / trade-in to get the silver version of this lens to better match the aesthetics of my silver M10-R. I have the 35mm f2 Ultron and the 50mm f2.2 Color Skopar in silver so I might as well have a trio. I have all three Voigtlander APO lenses, the 35mm, 50mm, and 90mm in black and I'm fine with those being in black because I use those adapted to my Nikon Zf for portrait photography. The others are for my street and travel kit. I'll say this, the Voigtlander line of M lenses are fantastic and any photographer can get everything they need from them without paying the Leica tax for their lenses.

I use this lens on Hasselblad 907x for landscape. Minimal vignetting at f2.8 and gone at f4. Great sharpness except extreme corners. And it looks better than any Hasselblad x mount lenses.

You should get the black paint LLL 28/2.8. Such a beautiful lens with a really pleasant rendering (the black paint is a bit strange, not so beautiful as the Voigtländer). Btw I prefer the Nocton 28/1.5 over the Ultron

Hey Jimmy, my name is Johnny and I'm a freelance logo designer, would you love to have a logo for your photography business and your channel to have a brand image your audience can remember your contents from and also can be one of the merch print you can sell to your fans to buy and own and spread the words about your channel too? Let me know if you interested and I would love to work with you to design these for you! :-)

Great video! Thx a lot! For my taste, I prefer bokeh rendering on Voigtlander lens

Oh MAN! The Voigtlander lenses for the M-mount are soooo attractive. Top marks, for their aesthetics. I wish they did the same designs for the Nikon Z-mount/F-mount. That said, i did buy the Voigtlander SL II - S for the Nikon f-mount and love the look, fit & finish, as well as their build quality.

What’s your kit to film your videos? The quality is really good!

I am simple man. I saw Jimmy, I upvote. Thanks for another comparison video!

Thanks again for a well reasoned review. I enjoy your laid-back style and your attention to VALUE. All my Leicas are classic film (111f,111f st M2,M4 M6 (original). I don't know if I will ever be able to justify a digital M since I'm retired. I use a Canon RF to M lens adapter for digital.Best wishes.

I wish Voigtlander would ditch the silver rim. Does the Voigtlander still not have a soft stop at 0.7m focus?

For travel 55 good but 38 much better

m240?

such an awesome review, but it would be complete if you can include flare resistance comparison, thank you

Leica is good for its fast optics. Medium format doesn't have this. Taking street photos is easier with M11. Hasselblad is better for landscape and architecture photos because of its better color (especially green) and stabilization. Hasselblad optics are boring compared to Leica, and new optics V are bad in everything except weight and focusing speed. Old Hasselblad lenses were and are great.

I’m very happy with my Leica Q2 monochrome cameras. I have two currently but I’ll probably sell one as I don’t need two anymore. I feel like the X2D is nice but kind of acts like a smartphone as you said. The Leica cameras make you feel like a photographer because they are so engaging.

Hi Jimmy, nice video! How does this lens compare to the new Typoch 1.4? Which one would you pick?

does the voigtlander limited edition has the same focus shift compare to the Aluminium classic f1.4 Norton version ?

glad to see this video. I was contemplating the same thing: using a hasselblad instead of m11 while travelling. I decided to stick with Leica.

I just sold my 2-year-old M11 black, in exchange of M11 Glossy Black, supposed to arrive tomorrow. Can't wait.

The words don't match the pics. I'm watching this on a 75 inch Sony TV. The first shot at infinity - Summilux is VERY sharp in the center at 300% crop, while both 40mm and 35mm "SC" (wrongly printed in the video labels) are horribly blurry. Not sure how one concluded that MC is close to Summilux. Nowhere close.

The new shutter mode means that the shutter will last only half as long

HasselBALD? 😂

Jimmy, great review. I picked up the Zeiss 35mm F2 in large part to your excellent review. If you shoot black and white and print in a darkroom the high contrast of the F2.8 version really works well . Would you consider reviewing the 90mm Voigtlander APO?

Hello Jimmy, with all due respect, with over 40 years of photography experience and having owned the Summilux, Noctilux, Zeiss, and even the Otus in that 50mm range, I can assure you that gear won’t make much difference unless you focus on composition, light, and story. Today, I keep a small collection of lenses after testing and owning many-from Switars to Berthiots to Angénieux to Nikkors. My advice: don’t waste your money or time comparing. Choose one affordable lens that covers most needs, especially in the 50mm range, where even a $100 lens can be excellent, and focus on creating great photography by exploring story, light, and composition. Good luck and best regards.

The biggest reason to convert in Phocus and export to LR, at least in my opinion, is the notably better highlight recovery. It's not a small difference, which is unfortunate because I hate trying to use Phocus.

Hakone rocks! I’m also using Leica M as my main camera system and newly invested into Hasselblad, 907x series for the look, weight and versatility. Haven’t got a chance to put the Hassy into real life use yet, but I imagine the system fits for cities like Hakone, Kyoto or 苏州, where a lot to play with composition than actions. 907x is a FUN system to use. For conventional street style snaps, M with manual A/S and zone focusing wins all systems.

I just don't understand why they don't offer the old metering as an option. And I'm really put off by the fact of the aluminium base plate. And another thing: this exposure mode will devide the shutter life by 2

I don't know much about lenses. Why do the book shelf pics look darker at 1.5 than 2 or 2.8? I always thought 1.5 makes brightest pictures.

Your side by side editting software examples sure looked substantially different to me. Light room wrecked the image, imo.

Thanks for the comparison, I prefer the Norton too.
