Thoughts on the Voigtlander Ultron 35mm ASPH II

Friday, 17 June 2022 16:09


Preface:

I suspect that the below reviewed Ultron 35mm ASPH II I purchased was likely not perfect and that I had poor luck with copy variance. Since selling the lens, I've looked at several DNG sample images I received from other owners, and I’m unable to see the same harsh focus plane in the mid-zone as I observed on mine. Copy variance is an unfortuante reality, especially noticeable with today’s high resolution digital cameras, but in my experience Voigtlander has been much better compared to Leica. 

I’m considering repurchasing the lens and giving the lens another go. However, it’s hard to justify especially since our exchange rate has worsend by over 15% since then and that I’ve had to accept a considerable loss with the sale of the original lens. I’ve also essentially replaced it with a good copy of the superb Ultron 28mm ASPH II, which makes the need for it even harder to justify.
