This review is from: Voigtlander Ultron 28mm f/1.9 Aspherical Wide Angle Manual Focus Lens - Black (Electronics)

The Voigtlander Ultron 28mm f1.9 Aspherical wide angle lens is yet another very good example of the rangefinder lenses being produced by Voigtlander (now owned by Cosina). Those who are reluctant to spend the hundreds of dollars required to purchase Leica's 28mm M mount rangefinder lenses may find this lens a satisfactory alternative for most of their rangefinder photography. However, if they find that they must use their lens wide open, then I would recommend instead taking a look at the Leica 28mm f2 ASPH Summicron-M, Leica 28mm f2.8 Elmarit-M, or the Zeiss ZM 28mm f2.8 Biogon lenses as better performing alternatives to this lens. Optically, I have read one report - I believe it was at Erwin Puts's website - which had this Voigtlander lens performing nearly as well as the Leica Elmarit-M lens. M mount rangefinder owners will have to purchase a screw mount to M mount adaptor in order to mount this lens onto their cameras.
