I got an early production version 21f1.8 while in japan this week. There is a site now for it on Flickr "Voigtlander Ultron 21mm f1.8 Aspherical". So far about 30 shots (color, Ektar 100) uploadd. Just have to process the bl/w stuff and upload that too.

Thanks for the heads up Tom - how are you finding it? it looks a fair bit larger than the CV 21mm f4 Color Skopar?

Are you able to show a comparison of the two next to each other?


I've had a look through them, and am i right that this was the only wide-open, close shot?

I saw this one was at f2.8

I was surprised, given that it's f1.8 aperture, and thusly it's DOF and low light capabilities are what 90% of it's users would buy it for, that there weren't more photos highlighting these aspects?

I'd love to see more of the DOF, as that's the thing that would make it stand out an worth a purchase for me

Thanks again!
