[@eugeneli1952]

Thanks Matt! Heading to Lisbon in two weeks, thinking about bringing my Sony a7r4 or the LeicaM11 Main reason is i don't need to do focusing when i join local tours. Looks like can still bring the m11......

[@eldengard23]

i really hope they make it in the Z mount, this is my dream walk around lens

Just use a Leica M adapter like many other Nikon Z users do?

[@alexsorokin1896]

Nice work as always. I just watched Samuel Streetlife's review of the Thypoch 28mm vs this Nokton and from that review the Thypoch is the clear winner for me (1.4 vs 1.5 surprisingly made a decent difference, next to no CA (whereas the Nokton was quite bad), closer min focus, cheaper, image quality was equal (Nokton perhaps better microcontrast but not by much) and sharper; however, aesthetically, the Nokton is what my ego wants, it just looks less unorthodox from a design language and is smaller. But the Thypoch outperformed. I'm really looking forward to your review and head to head of these two 28's.

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Thanks Alex, ah yes I saw it! Yes I’m excited to do my testing but both look very good. As you say, neither is perfect in all areas. Video to come!

[@thomaschamberlin2485]

That was my impression of that video as well. The difference in chromatic aberration was huge and a deal breaker for me.

[@alexsorokin1896]

@@thomaschamberlin2485 I shoot a lot of still life guitar photos and the contrast between shiny nickel silver frets, strings, against the dark fingerboard woods always turns into a purple fringe fest with the wrong lens. It can be corrected in post, but I'd much prefer not to have to do that a thousand times over. I've also warmed up to the Thypoch build aesthetic each time I watch a review on them (35 & 28).

[@saulcohen5733]

The Thypoch also as a tactile notch at 70 cm for M shooting

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

@@saulcohen5733 yes!

[@MarttiSuomivuori]

You are very informative, but still, the best part of your videos is the pictures you make. I love your images.

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Thank you! Yes I guess I’m a photographer learning YT not the other way around. Photos always come first for me.

Hi Matt! Thanks for sharing so much of your experience. I have a love hate relationship with Voigtlander lenses, simply because they have an awesome look overall- but the performance of each model/variant can be drastically different. So it’s really confusing. I’ve wasted so much time trying the variations for Xmount, and it was quite the chore. In Sum, my eye is particularly sensitive to purple fringing, it really mucks up an image for me. Especially when so many other parts of the photo look so beautiful. That CA/purple (even green) fringing was glaringly apparent for me trying many of the newer Xmount Voigtlanders. Although, I will say the Ultron 28 F2 Xmount is amazing, and I cannot find fault with it. Now, here I am again looking into M mount voigtlanders for my Leica M4-2. I was hoping to get something I can use on the M4 but also nicely adapt to my Fuji XT5. Do you have any thoughts on which Voigtlanders might have this Purple fringing under control? Preferably in the wider apetures? 1.2-1.4 in the 28-40mm range?

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Yes 100% for 28mm Ultron performance. I know that as I tested it again recently. For all the other options you’ll need to binge watch each lens video I’m afraid as I don’t remember. (I usually shoot B&W too so rarely an issue).

[@p0lig0nQC]

"I saw this girl with this amazing hat" lol Matt never disappoint in term of hat ! 😜

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Great to have you back in Lisbon! I love your reviews!!!

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Thank you! I’m excited to see the film photos! (To come)

[@ngterry9653]

What would be your choice over 28mm ultron or nokton or color skopar ? Type II vs Type I, i hate that voigtlander always gives us too many choices. I already had 35mm f1.5 type II black, but don't have any 28mm lens yet.

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Listen to my thoughts shared in this video, the same still applies, Ultron is sharper, Skopar is smaller. I love small lenses. See the pros and cons on the models in the video.

[@saulcohen5733]

Thank you so much , great video as always. I can’t wait for the 28 Thypoch review and comparison . And most importantly your recommendation of which one to get.🙏🙏

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Thanks! Yes i'm interested myself. I'll do a quick first look review next week (is the plan).

[@danny_r27]

I’m definitely getting this lens soon because I know I’ll be using it on my M10, M10 Monochrom, and SL 601.

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Yes these new lenses will be great for low light shooting!

[@MulliganAl]

Great review as always. I'm still trying to decide between the Voigtlander Nokton 28mm f/1.5 Vintage Aspherical Type II, and the 28mm f/2.0 Ultron Type II. The minor difference in price is not an issue, but I would like the best of the two for street photography. I find myself shooting in low light at times while traveling abroad so I'm leaning towards the Nokton. What's your take between the two if given a choice for an m11P? And thanks for all the great videos, they are always extremely helpful.

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Thanks! Most people forget that modern cameras go up to ISO 1 million so ignore the difference of 1 f stop. Get the Ultron for the best performer. ;)

[@MulliganAl]

@@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom I'm also looking at a Leica Elmarit-M 28mm f/2.8 ASPH. and found one used for around $2200, any thoughts on if it's worth the extra $$$. I do like that Leica holds it's value if I decide to sell in the future.

Hi Matt✌ On Thursday I got my Summicron 28😁 I had the Summaron28 for a short time but it wasn't my thing as there was always the danger that a finger was always in the picture😁 there are a few good alternatives that you mention. Let's see one or the other of the Nokton or the Ultra👌 As always a top contribution. Lg Anderl

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Thanks, yes small lenses are not for everyone. I think the Thypoch might be the lens to beat. I'll share my testing as soon as it arrives and I've done a comparison.

[@sunny16portraits]

Great trip and video, the lens and photos don't dissapoint 😀 sorry for my shaky hands on the 180mm videos haha

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Thanks Thomas! Great hanging out with you 🙌🏻

[@yvesmichel4101]

Question remain:how does it compare to the Summilux... According to Fred Miranda: " The Voigtlander 28mm f/1.5 Nokton competes well with the Leica 28/1.4 Summilux, matching its performance, color aberration control, and even outperforming it in the corners, despite its more compact design..." I'm not totally convinced from what I see.

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

I wouldn’t expect it to match the Lux. If not had the opportunity to compare both. Both have pros cons

[@StuartWeir]

Would you recommend this over the Color Skopar? I’m torn between the two. I don’t like the 0.5m focusing on the Nokton (I shoot only film M) but I’m not sure I’m convinced on the performance of the Color Skopar given its penchant to vignette. I’m also curious about distortion between the two!

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

If you like small and sharp the f2 Ultron, sharpest, 1.7 Ultron. Video out soon on this!

[@dannykrzewski2885]

Hey Matt, another great video! I`m currently using the 7artisan 28mm f1.4, but due to its relatively heavy weight and its close focus of only 0.7m, I thought about replacing it with either the Typoch or the Voigtlander. I`d be interested how these 3 lenses compare shot wide open and which one you would pick? I`m currently leaning towards the Typoch. Can`t wait to hear your thoughts on this!

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Thanks Danny, yes I'll share the 2x new 28 video as soon as the Thypoch arrives. I did test the 7A lens in the past if I remember. See that video vs the Leica Q.

[@royprasad]

Matt, thanks for the review, but the real acid test is how the CV 28/1.5 compares with the Leica 28/1.4 Summilux-M wide open, at f/2 and maybe f/2.8. I'd assume at f/4 and beyond the two lenses would be virtually identical. All other comparisons are rather moot, IMHO. So do you have any comps with the Leica 28 Lux?!

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Thanks! Yes agree to wide open test but I have no 28mm Lux sadly. To give you a benchmark, the 28 Lux beats the Q lens and the Q lens beats the Voigtlander and the Thypoch wide open. Stopped down any lens is good (get the Ultron if shooting from f2).

[@CAMSMORE]

One of the firsts to try it! Thanks for having brought the review!

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Thanks Victor, no problem!

[@d.idowuolutosin4250]

Seems like a nice lens but I'll stick with my Voigtlander 28mm f2 Ultron Mark II. I love that lens and it has no issues with purple fringing that I know of.

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Yes the CA is the weakness of the new lens. The Ultron showed none in my test.

[@jeromearnould9940]

Thanks for sharing your nice photos ... Ultron 28mm f2 is one of my favorite but on digital and film ... As I would like to have a faster one, I'll wait until you 'll make the test 28mm Nokton vs 28mm Thypoc

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Thanks Grom, yes both look very promising. Video to follow!

[@peterzuehlke]

interesting, have quite a few fast m mount lenses, but don't feel I need a fast 28 (my Elmarit V4 is one of my alltime favorite lenses)

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Yes for wides I tend to be zone focusing stopped down but for low light it would be useful.

[@andretim75]

BTW -- there are already some comparison between the Voigtlander 1.5 and the Thypoch 1.4 out here !

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Yes I saw Samual's video but it's always nice to do my own testing as I can compare in my head to all the other lenses i've used (and present in the usual format).

[@RS-Amsterdam]

[@JohnBaruh]

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Hey John! Yes the "proper Lisbon video" (on film with the F3) still to come! :) .. Voigtlander and Thypoch are both nicely made. Once the 28mm Thypoch arrives I will make the comparison video and give my 2p worth.

[@joeensley3912]

Also curious about how different the bokeh looks @1.5 vs Ultron’s 2 .0

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

I’ll try to share more in future videos. There was not much in the way of bokeh to shoot.

[@edwintan73]

may i know how is it compare in your opinion compare to 28mm f2 ultron type 2?

Well done Matt! 🙂

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

[@smartdoctorphysicist3095]

Hi first thank you very much, when will you do a test with Leica 28mm f1.4 to Thypoch 28mm F1.4 and Voigtlander Nokton 28mm F1.5 I ask this because I use a Leica 28mm F2.0. So it any one is better I may work toward one or the other but for now I am wanting on your test. Please let me know which one would you wish to have. Over the Leica?

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Thanks. I sold my Leica 28mm f2 and replaced with the better performing Ulton. So that ticks that box. (Leica is more filmic, Ultron more modern/ perfect). I'm not sure if I will get access to the Leica Lux anytime soon but if these new lenses can match/ beat the Ultron it's fair to say they beat the Cron 28 I sold too. (The Lux is too expensive for most to consider and big ..BUT is said to be better than the Leica Q lenses so likely still the best fast 28 you can get).

[@jlwilliams]

Hey there... thanks for this nice overview! I'm very much in the market for a wide-aperture 28 as a "wide-ish normal" for my Pixii. Currently I'm still using the 28/1.9 screw-mount Ultron that I bought in 2003 to use with my Epson R-D 1, but I feel it no longer measures up to other lenses I own. What I really want to know is how this new Nokton compares with the 28/1.4 Thypoc -- but I guess I'll need to wait another week or so for that! In addition to optical performance, I hope you'll do a comparison of handling. One of the other reviewers I follow said handling the Thypoc 28 was frustrating because the aperture stops are unevenly spaced and the focusing ring is so close to the camera body that it was hard for him to grasp. I know you didn't seem worried about these things in your Thypoc 35/1.4 review, so it will be interesting to have a balanced perspective. Looking forward to this (with some model pics, I hope!)

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Thanks James! Yes I’m less fussed by those sorts of things but I’ll try to include in the 28mm video anything that grabs my attention or frustrates me!

[@tsutenkakurobo9642]

Any chance of film (colour?) samples? especially at f1.5. A lot of the M mount lenses in the last few years only get reviewed by digital Leica users, and the look of the lenses can be so different with film. So many reviewers take photos OF the lens on a film body but never shoot film! Cheers.

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Hi fair point. Sadly I'm a B&W shooter so even if I shot a few frames on colour they'd be in the camera for 12 months+ (I just developed a roll I shot in Vegas last year.. will collect today. I did shoot 3 rolls of colour for a new video to come soon so if they look good maybe I'll try to shoot more but for a review I would check M6 shooters that shoot all Portra 400).

[@TheBEARofHIGHWAY1]

Love your videos. But Matt what is that strange echo with your voice? Do you have headphones on when you are voicing your videos or is it echoing out of the speakers as you record?

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Thanks. I do wear headphones when I record audio. Is that bad? I thought it was more from small room "reverb" (is that the right word.. when it sounds like in a cupboard). I try plants and materials to break it up.

[@davidcampbell1963]

Since the 28/1.5 is not 6 bit coded, how do you reference that lens in your M10? For example, many sites have advocated referencing the VM 50/2 APO Lanthar as a Summilux 50/1.4

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

I don't use lens profiles personally but yes just use the closest Leica profile so use the 50 Cron profile for the 50 f2 CV APO.

[@GamachePhoto]

great video Matt! This looks like a sweet lens at 28mm. I have a planned visit to Portugal in May/June this year. What would you say the 28mm vs 35mm would be the better lens to bring? I have the TTArtisan 28mm 5.6, the Ultron 35mm f2 to work on my M10-R, as well as the Sigma DG DN 28-70mm f2.8 for my SL2 (and the Sigma DG DN 35mm f2).

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Thanks and sounds good. Honest answer.. I shot mostly 180mm! (Really) see the big film video to come. The narrow streets will suit everything from 28-180mm (Think San Francisco geography). I hope to go again soonish for more!

Hi Matt , big follower of yours. Much love your work and value your reviews. That said , I believe I am going to get this lens . I shoot with f/2.0 and faster mostly and have been looking to get a fast 28. I almost bought the Voigtlander 28mm f/2.0 version ii then saw this lens was coming out soon . I like them both especially the looks of the f/2 . I prefer a longer lens because I get my fingers in front of it on the shorter ones . One reason I like a hood whether I need one or not . Finger stopper. By the way I a few weeks back drug out my Nikon F5 and Nikkormat ft2 . Love my FE’s but they need some tlc . Shoot away brother

NIce, interesting lens. like it. Seeing you there in Lisbon kinda triggered me a bit as I had a very bad experience there a few years ago when for about only the 2nd time in my life I really felt threatened/uneasy/scared there - youth/locals in a local cafe really ganged up on myself and my girlfriend and if it wasn't for the (half hearted) intervention of a passing policeman we would have lost all our camera gear/money - and they actually followed us and had another go on that plaza where you were at near the start of your vid with the views of the bridge.

You are a bad influence, Matt! Because of you, I now have both the CV 28/1.5 Nokton and the CV 28/2 Ultron-II. After much hand-wringing about which one to keep, I decided to keep them both. Both are impressive lenses and each has its use case (at least for me).

Sorry Roy! Yes there is always good reasons to keep both!

[@lensman5762]

It is a huge claim that Nokton will beat the Ultron. Lets see a head to head.

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

The Voigtlander reps said they expected the same. In my head to head the Nokton wide open was sharper/ as sharp as the Ultron BUT suffers from CA.

Minimum focus distance is the only problem…

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

You prefer 0.7m? 0.5m is kind of normal for these sorts of lenses.

[@toxotis70]

I thought it was 1.5 meters… my mistake

[@MrKILLIANSMITH]

Why "almost perfect" .... ? Why is it seemingly always beyond these lens manufacturers to make a "perfect" version of a lens at any focal length ... or is it the case that if they did they would kill their business over time?

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Haha I’m sure they try to but they are probably trying to offer as much as they can within a price. The alternative is make it as good as possible and pass on the cost (Leica style). My guess is as you improve one feature another gets worse. (More glass = bigger etc etc).

How can anything be perfect?

I'm just curious why all you camera YTuber's always talk about the benefits of spending thousands on new photo gear all the time, but you all take such uninspiring and largely boring pictures

[@MattOsborne-MrLeicaCom]

Thanks for watching and your kind words. I’m sorry if my photos are not as good as yours.

@@rodnyg7952 We're not here to gawk at pretty photos, but rather want to assess real world performance. To be honest, the more bland and sterile the sample/test image is, the easier it is for me (the viewer) to analyze and determine how that fits into my everyday use. Creative artsy photography does quite a bit to mask how equipment performs; and thats why these videos exist.

@@alexsorokin1896 I didn't say anything about gawking at pretty photos, don't even know what that really means. So, you prefer photos void of art and creativity. Well, aside from wedding and vacation pics that kind of defeats the whole point of serious photography. I get the impression that you people just like collecting stuff -- very good

I like that it's smaller too.
