Fantastic! They finally did it! I was just playing with my Elmarit 28 and thinking I wouldn't mind another stop of brightness.

 

[nickthetasmaniac]

Very very interested. We'll see what the price is once it lands in Aus...

 

[kram]

I wonder when it will land in the UK. How will it compare to the slew of RF mount 28mm F2 lenses out there.

I haven't bought any photo gear since mid-2018 but I'll go for the silver version of this lens whenever it is available in Vietnam. Cheers, OtL

Are you sure? It doesn't even come with a hood

 

[Out to Lunch]

No problem, just like in Norway, we have long winters. Cheers, OtL

I’d go for the silver if they made a silver hood for it.

I haven’t done a preorder from CQ before. Do I do the $100 deposit or the full price option?

 

[kram]

In the UK £699 for the Type I, from RW.

I think I know what you mean, but you may want to clarify.

Obviously huge step above from old 35/2. Into the right direction .

Just bit too long for my taste. One cm longer than Cron. But 39mm filters size sounds promising not to ruin 28 framelines.

Wonder how it is M's VF.
Lens looks cute enough to have as the only 28mm lens. It is Cron 28 killer lens. Just like 35/2 rendered 35 Cron to just a status lens.

 

[Archiver]

Good size difference. Voigtlander/Cosina is stepping up their game yet again.

According to Cosina it's almost half a centimeter _shorter_.

 

[kram]

I would like to see a photo of the new lens against the Leica f2.8 which is a smalp lens. It would not be much bigger.

Just bit too long for my taste. One cm longer than Cron.

Length:
Cron ASPH - 41.4mm
Ultron II - 36mm
