I'm a bad KZfaqr. I didn't even film the unboxing of this lens.

Ahhh you beat me to it! Haha I only just filmed my video yesterday 😬 and OH! Thanks for the shout!

I dont understand why KZfaq algoritm never thought you were interesting for me until very recently 😂 after 2 years of watching photography reviews and tutorials online, your channel is my new favourite thing. Your pictures are great and the way you explain things could not be better. Cheers from Hong Kong!

Came for the lens, stayed for the facial hair. The world needs to see a full fu manchu! Great video as always dude!

My dude!! First off you look well rested and it shows in all your latest vids. So fresh my manThe music is on point. I'm a huge 35mm guy and I'm digging the 28mm focal length

Coding the lens as a 28mm summicrom asph should easily sort out most of the vignetting.

Hey nice work. I actually have the new 35 f2 Ultron v2 and naturally it seems to share all of the same characteristics to the 28. I'll probably make a review of the 35 in few months. Also did you notice your focusing ring being a bit stiff out of the box? It took me some time to work mine in before it became smoother. Now it's fine. But if I leave it un-used for a few weeks it becomes stiffer again. I think it has something to do with the type of oil they used and the brass construction? Either way, it's a thing to mention that it does take a bit of time to play with before it's all primed up. Kinda like foreplay. 🍷

The 35mm focal length is my personal favorite for documentary and street photography. For my Leica M6, when I need something wider than my 35mm f/1.4, I use a 21mm f/1.4. The 28mm focal length is my personal favorite for landscape photography. However, I prefer medium format for landscapes.

I've been waiting for a review like this. Thanks!

Thx for the video! So I’m gonna stick to my 28 Elmarit Asph. Little heavy vignetting on the ultron for my taste. If I need f2 I got the 35 Summicron Asph V2 too.

Great review. I'm sold! Btw, keep the goatee!

Great video and lens! The 28mm field of view is also what most smart phones cameras provide.

Just bought this lens, waiting for it to arrive! 28mm has been my all time favorite focal length for ever. I made the mistake of getting a 35mm Nokton Classic f1.4 SC but then got used to it. I have a love hate relationship with that lense. I'm super excited to finally be waiting on my dream 28mm setup. I love the way the 28mm Color Skopar renders on my DSLR so I have great expectations for the Ultron. Great review! And I don't mind the vignetting at all, actually like the amount that shows on your sample photos.

I'm currently building my second Leica M setup after leaving the first one behind in about 2005. So I'm building on experience with Leica-lenses and so far I have 2/50/planar, 2/35 Ultron and 2,8/28 in my setup. Since then non-Leica lenses for M really made a leap forward and current prices for even older Leica-designs have gone crazy. They are still good but as of today you have to buy the most recent Leica lenses to really pull ahead opticallly of the latest from Cosina (Voigtländer/Zeiss).

voigtlander lenses are always a good temporary choice if you can't afford a leica lens immediately, but needs a extra focal length to use. But i guess Artisan 7 are much cheaper too, haven't really used them to see if they are worth it. If money's not the problem, keep things to leica lol. for me personally, 35mm is simply wide enough for me, and the voigtlander nokton classic v2 is actually much smaller than the 28mm ultron (if you ever want to pocket the m6). But for my 0.85x magnification, 28mm will need a viewfinder lol. But the sharpness does look great tho.

Just copped a Nikon 28mm 2.8 series e for my f3. Found it during my family trip at a local camera store and I’m hype to get back home and try it out. I’m use to 35mm appreciate the insight on shooting a wider lens

I hate vignetting too and I clearly see that Cron is a better option in that case. Cron will also give a smoother bokeh.

Finally a review on this! Was waiting on the 35mm when I purchased it before (returned it). However now I'm considering this 28mm variant because my main is a 35mm cron asph v2 just like yours, so a cheaper 28mm makes more sense since it isn't my main. The one thing I disliked on the 35mm variant of the ultron v2 was the focus throw stiffness. Additionally, I would say that 28mm is also a great option when traveling and getting a lot of landscape in the photo, 35mm for more personal street work so you don't have to get so close into people's faces (imo)!

Dope video Chris! I got the 35mm Ultron and it’s my favorite lens. I do want to get the 28mm to try out too.

As long as it's to do with film I'm going to watch, Great review!

Keep pushing those videos out!!

hi, what do you think this lens compare to 28mm f1.5 nokton ?

Do you personally care about corner sharpness?

So conflicted between this lens or the 35mm version. Can’t decide !

Thanks for the video. 👌 Yes, a 28mm is at the top of my 'next lens' shopping list. I have settled on the Leica Elmarit-M 1:2.8/28mm asph. It shares the excellent out-of-focus rendering of the Summarit-M 1:2.4/75mm, which I bought while visiting Leitz Park in 2018. .. among other qualities, for me, the size of the Elmarit-M 28mm makes it the winner of the 28mm race. 🥰 .(The Elmar 5.6 is of no interest)

Thanks for the review! very helpful

Amazing video, im deciding on this lens vs a 35mm. How do you find composing with 28 on the 0.72x VF?

agree with you, the silver ring kept me away from buying one.

How would this compare to the zeiss biogon or the Leica elmarit asph? Thanks for the review Chris!

I much prefer your review than the one from the other guy you've mentioned. Good Job....and since you asked, YES, cut that thing growing in your face....

I have a 50mm zeiss lens with a chrome front and my black UV filter sorted that problem 😁

I would say the Summaron-M 28mm f5.6 probably the best.

why not put on a lens hood?

This lens is meant to have a lens hood mounted on it. Takes care of the silver front.

What about the Leica Elmarit 28mm compared to this ? Its cheaper than the 28mm summicron

hi chris...please what for a strap is this one on the video?

Yes. More film please.

Great review. Would you recommend this lens over the Q2?

If you want to see great 28mm photographs. Check out Glasgow by Depardon.

Thank you

GIVE ME ALLLLLL THE FILM VIDEOS

Just add a black shade and black rim UV filter...

Yeah boii

Like the hair. Gear is fine but I like composition/philosophy better

f/8 of the Furious.

There is viewfinder blockage😂Isn’t it?

You don’t have to shoot Portra 400 at box speed! Do your research and you’ll see your best results don’t come at 400, that said most know 28mm because that’s what the iPhone shoots.

need this as an nikon f mount ahhh

Too wide for me

Keep the facial hair, kinda embarrassing while its scruffy but when it gets good its good

Why do most youtubers say something along the lines of "Hey everyone (or hey guys) welcome back to my channel..." What if this is the first time I've ever landed on a channel? How can I be welcomed back to a channel I've never before visited? Why does there need to be any greeting at all? And then, after the 'welcome back' moment, why does there need to be a five minute explanation on what the video is going to be about? This isn't about your video specifically. Just an observational and broad question on why almost all KZfaqr videos sound exactly like every other KZfaqr Video? "Hey Guys and welcome back to my channel and in today's video I'm gonna be talking about the history of rhubarb. I'll go over the many uses of rhubarb and then we'll............(five minutes later)........the best rhubarb pie. So, let's get into it." I'm just ranting. LOL. Love the video. Thanks for taking the time to make it. I'll check out the Voigtlander lens.
