Congratulations Joe, if you are half as happy with yours as I am with mine, you're going to love it. I could have posted nearly my whole gallery in this post.

thanks ezzie. i think the lens is gonna be a keeper, for sure.

i was going to sell the little cv 28 but now i'm thinking that i will keep it too and pair it with my soon to arrive cv 50/2.5.
it should make a nice sharp, compact kit.
 
Wow, great pics, really sharp on the M8 too. I wonder how the VC 28/2 compares? I need to dust mine off and fire off some new frames.

Love that one, Todd!

Roland, since you had several samples, how was in your opinion the quality spread between them?
I'm asking because I had one and wasn't quite satisfied with it.
It was significantly softer than my Hex, and I gave up on it.
Given the mixed reviews on the web, including excellent reports, I concluded that QC and sample variance was the issue...
 
Hi Michael,

I had 3 so far. One of them went back to the seller since it was off. Similar for the 35/1.7 Ultron, BTW. They also vary in terms of flare. If you check Reid's recent review of the 35 Ultron, he tested one with less flare than his first one.

When you get a good 28/1.9 Ultron, it's one of the sharpest 28 lenses out there. Easily > 100 lp/mm across the field at f4 or so.

Roland.
 
I have just developed some shots made with this lens in spring, and I am quite amazed at the quality: great sharpnes across the frame, and gentle tonal gradations within a medium contrast rendering. This one is the favourite of the roll, shot at f 8.0 with a yellow filter:

A great lens.

Hey Roland
Well, both your answer and what I see here make me rethink about this lens.
Only problem is that buying, testing and selling one ore more of such lenses untill you find love can be expensive and tricky...
Unless I meet a real need for speed in the future, I think I will manage with the Hex (badly needs a relube. very stiff) and the not-yet-in-my-hands cv 3.5 that is suposed to provide the ultimate compact 28mm combo once screwed on my IIIf :)

Best
