28mm lens advantages - Voigtlander Ultron f/2

28mm is just a focal length that has really grown on me over the years. I have about 13 different 28's now and just love them.

I got a 28 Elmarit about a month ago, and I find that I’m liking the 28mm more that I thought I would. Historically, I’m a 50 or 35 guy, but the 28 provides some real opportunities.

Really appreciate your clear explanation of the advantages of a 28mm lens, vs 35mm or longer. Thanks!

Have it for my Leica M film body, adapted it to the x-pro3 too. Loved using it so much on both. 28mm and 42mm équivalent that I ended up getting the 27mm Ultron recently released for c-mount.

I have Leica 28 f/2.8 Elmarit, and love it for street photography

Love the two compositions of the boat and ramp with people disembarking. I Moved from RX100 to Fuji GFX system with GF45, approx 35mm. But now still carry the RX100 alongside the GFX to give me 28mm equivalent field of view for deep perspective shots. 28 does have a certain magic.

Outstanding photography sir. Thank you for sharing your work, it's very inspiring.

Very very nice work, both video and photos! 👍

Great video. I just shot a full-length feature with two Minolta vintage lenses adapted to a Panasonic S5. A 28mm Telesor, f/2.8, and a 50mm Rokkor, f/1.4. 28mm has always been my favorite focal length. Great images here, thanks so much for sharing

I discovered the 28mm focal length quite late and since. I have to say that I like it a lot for the reason you mention. My trinity in the Nikon world are 28 1.4 / 58 1.4 / 105 1.4 In the Leica world the Q is the best choice I think

I was able to finally get the Elmarit 28 earlier this year and man as someone who mainly shoots street photography living in NYC it has been so nice 😍

Such a great video and really beautiful images.

I recently bought the Voigtlander 28mm f2 v2, and I love it… this is my first time using this focal length… 😍

Dont worry about the pronunciation. It wasnt too long ago when I found out that the "i" is silent. About the lens, I'm sure its great but personally I'm saving up for an Elmarit because the Voigtländer focus tap is just a bit too small for my liking and I can only use it with my finger tip instead of finger itself (if its the same as the one on the 35mm color skopar).

Very informative video about how to shoot 28mm. I've always struggled a bit with how to use that focal length. I currently have a Fuji 18mm (28mm equivalent) which is a superb lens but I constantly think I should have got the 23mm (35mm equivalent) instead. I think I better understand now how to go about using it - thanks!!

I shot the zeiss 28 for years and years and in the past few months after some gear moving around, I picked up the v2 of the voigtlander. It's just as good, slightly less harsh, and still plenty sharp!

Great video mate, cheers! I've really tried to appreciate 28mm in general (Canon FD system) but I struggle with it as I'm more of a tight lens kind of guy myself. But one day I might learn, who knows. :)

About the purple fringing/ smuding. It has something to do with how steep angle of the light coming out from the back lens to the edge of the sensor. Leica Digital Ms has microprisms built infront the sensor to compensate for this, hence you do not get this purple fringing or smudging on Leica M. I also read somewhere that the glass stacks on Canon cameras are really thick, they also use anti alsiasing filter infront of the sensor. making M mount lenses not so nice on the Canon bodies. Anways amazing images as always!

When I bought my M6 this was my first lens. I have other lenses now, but most of the time the 28 is on my camera.

I got one precisely last weekend (second hand). I'm more a 35mm and 50mm, but I think that for certain situations and styles (photojournalism) is a great option. Looking forward for more of your pictures to get some inspiration. Cheers!
