The best all-around 35mm lens on Leica M ( thanks to jonmanjiro and his wonderful comparison shots)

[@siyuzhu9309]

I got the 35mm Voigtlander ultron II lens after watching this video. It's absolutely amazing and I have been so happy shooting with it. Thanks for the review Jimmy

[@danielmollohan1703]

Thank you! Are you going to review the new 28mm Ultron, too? I can not find any comparisons with that lens, or any good reviews yet.

[@JimmyCheng]

I mean it’s quite new. I would love to but I’m currently working on other gears :)

[@Cameraville]

Thanks for the English subtitles

[@JimmyCheng]

I’m glad you liked it!

[@downtofun]

Thanks for this review; it’s really helpful for me!

[@JimmyCheng]

glad you enjoyed it.

[@kevinpazmino6042]

I love my 35mm Voigtlander ultron II! I’m always surprised at the quality I get. It’s just as good as a Leica lens if not better. My only complaint is that the Summicron is a more beautiful designed lens. Thanks for the review I agree 100%

[@JimmyCheng]

Thank you for the comments. I heard tons of good things about the 28 counterparts as well :)

[@kevinpazmino6042]

@@JimmyCheng awesome! I have the newest 28mm Elmarit and wow that lens is sharp.! It’s hard to believe another lens can be sharper.

Thank you for this review! 😁 I found it really helpful!

[@AlexOnStreets]

Good work!

[@JimmyCheng]

thank you, really appreciate it

[@iconindexsymbol]

I think the B&W photos are Jon Manjiro’s?

[@北方月令]

You are RIGHT.👍

[@wilfredshum3703]

Do you have the Summicron 8 element version 1 to compare those with?

[@LS-cs9rq]

能不能出一期视频比较一下这个镜头的散景（主要是树叶间隙的光斑和七枚玉的差别）？这个镜头的表现有点震撼

[@JimmyCheng]

可惜我这只镜头已经不在手上了。七妹散景其实是比较busy的，asph反而smooth一点（我有测试）。所以看你喜欢，这只是比较smooth，比较buttery的。当然都是相对而言。

[@vt4979]

Thanks for the review! How do you like the resistance of the focus ring? Is it as smooth and quick to focus as the summicron?

[@JimmyCheng]

yes, same level of tightness/looseness and very smooth.

[@klefnf]

Jimmy,有機會試一試vm35/2 apo 那支..變態級的解析力..leica當家35/2 summiron首把位置已經從35/2asph換上35/2apo..也是怪物級的35mm.

[@JimmyCheng]

有了解過，但是近期應該會重心在50mm，而且目前階段我好像對比較vintage looking的鏡頭比較感興趣。謝謝🙏，之後有機會會試一試。

[@klefnf]

@@JimmyCheng 我最近也是在找一支比較好用的50,之前買了兩支50 1.4 v2,兩支都有不同程度的跑焦..而且1米對焦有點不便..試過zm 50/2 vm50 1.2 感覺黑白不太理想..50 1.4 pre-a e46現在不太好找...

[@JimmyCheng]

@@klefnf 我现在有pre-a e46，lux asph，cron v4，夜神f1和福伦达50 1.5ii。福伦达这只很有意思，素质接近asph 95%，但是体积比cron还小，但是cron v4操作手感最好。pre-a我非常喜欢，但是asph几乎完美了。50的好镜真多

[@王思洋]

@@klefnf 可以等一等老周复刻的50mm elcan

[@darrenchou]

问：福伦达 APO 50mm那只镜头，为什么说索尼口的比M口的好？

[@JimmyCheng]

我看到有人说色散控制更好一些，但也有看到论坛上说m口更好特别用在m机上

[@yangye7754]

This lens looks so much better in the video than in the official product photos. Also, the current 35 Summicron ASPH is the much improved version 2, and it seems like you were referring to the version 1 in the video.

[@王鹏程-d3f]

您好 看了您的测评后很喜欢这颗镜头 最开始种草的是七枚玉 如果两种选一颗头长时间使用 您更推荐哪一颗呢 希望能够收到您的回复 非常感谢

[@JimmyCheng]

七妹现在二手市场价格太高了，只能说是收藏品，实际使用感受vm会好很多，特别炫光啊，锐度啊这些。

[@王鹏程-d3f]

@@JimmyCheng 那福伦达这颗与Leica原厂其他35mm的镜头对比呢 刚刚接触胶片摄影 不太懂 给您添麻烦了

[@JimmyCheng]

@@王鹏程-d3f没事没事。其实主要还是看你拍数码还是胶片。胶片的话我比较推荐大光圈体积小巧的，体验会比较好，的比如福伦达的35 1.4，数码的话可以考虑这个。徕卡目前在产的35，cron的话设计很老了不如这颗，lux的话体积有点大，cron apo的话价格太高。综合考虑下来，这颗或者福伦达的35 1.4都可以试试。

[@王鹏程-d3f]

@@JimmyCheng 好的好的 我主要拍胶片 用于日常生活 您的建议还是在福伦达35 f1.4与2之间选一个就好 没必要考虑Leica原厂镜头了 这两颗镜头在胶片上的成像质量都还不错吧

[@JimmyCheng]

@@王鹏程-d3f 我个人倾向于35 1.4，我有做过测评，你可以翻看一下，和原厂也有对比。35 1.4 是最小巧的，而且成像比较复古，锐度胶片上也够用。

[@analogFEEL]

Jimmy你好，这支头我用在M11上在f2.8往上暗脚很严重（比你视频里的样片严重很多），这个有办法解决么？还是因为M11像素比较高的原因？

[@JimmyCheng]

应该和像素没关系。福伦达这几个小头缺点就是暗角。lr稍微修正一下吧。

[@北方月令]

Jimmy, 首先感谢分享！但是作为摄影爱好者，首先应该尊重同行，应该征得作者的同意再引用原图。要知道jonmanjro是很乐意分享的，不然他怎么会花费那么多时间去拍摄，编辑，撰写，分享呢？We know you know the B&W photos are jonmanjiro's photos that he posted at rangefinderforum

[@JimmyCheng]

I’ve pmed him personally about it and I’ve explicitly said cited other people’s work in the video!

[@北方月令]

@@JimmyCheng no you didn't Jimmy. jonmanjiro has not received any pms from you. 其实jonmanjiro本人今天经由朋友告知，你擅自引用了他的照片。他说若你事前联系他，会很高兴分享的。即使现在也为时不晚！As a photographer yourself, how about showing some respect for your fellow photographers, and pm jonmanjiro to request to use his photos. It's not too late to pm jonmanjiro, Jimmy.

[@JimmyCheng]

@@北方月令 I emailed him on June 3rd, asking him for permission about share his images on the internet. Check my other video for the 50mm voigtlander heliar classic where I cited another fellow photographer’s work. I’ve also asked his permission on his website where he explicitly asked me to put copyright information so I did. Citation and bibliography is the first thing I learnt in my long academic career. Thank you for your reminder anyways though.

[@JimmyCheng]

Okay so I've put his name in the title of the video since there's no way around it now. If it was a review article I would surely put the photographers name for copyright reasons but since these were random photos from a forum (I actually downloaded those photos for detailed comparisons in LR for myself way before this video was even made) so I barely remembered it was from rangefinderforum. But later someone reminded me I think in one of the comment so I shot him an email afterwards and it slipped out of my mind.

[@北方月令]

@@JimmyCheng 那么，以下是jonmanjiro本人让我转告的。Here's a message from jonmanjiro to you. Well, I must say its a surprise to see the view from my balcony in a random youtube video.

Jimmy,這兩天試過vm 35/2 ultron 2 black paint..實在是一支很好的鏡頭.35/2 apo也試過..但真的比較大一支,但立體感真的非常驚人..只是線條實在過硬..我應該會考慮35/2 u2的bp版本.

[@JimmyCheng]

对的，我觉得无论体积、做工、画质都很棒，关键性价比高。apo也很好不过确实像你说的太大了。我个人喜欢在rf上用小巧一些的镜头。

[@JimmyCheng]

是啊

[@elyzabethlatief886]

why more contrasty? my Leica Apo Summicron M 35 is even less contrasty then my cron or lux.

[@王思洋]

福伦达35 1.4二代好像改善了对焦问题

[@胤姜]

这个能覆盖4433cmos吗

[@JimmyCheng]

不能，会有死暗角，它本身暗角就比较重

[@perfectly_boring]

Wow Jimmy, at this point why even get the summilux (for just one stop). To me the leica system is about compactness. I had the KOB and sold it for a 28mm summicron, but missed it. But this lens seems like a better deal

[@JimmyCheng]

yes it is. I’ve got tons of Leica lenses, but Voigtlander’s recent offerings have really tip over the balance (this, the new 50 1.5, the new 28 ultron, and the newly announced 90 2.8 apo). They are way cheaper for equal built quality, similar optical performance and great characters, and more importantly, size. Unlike Leica who keeps releasing better and bigger optics like the 75 noctilux and 90 summilux and even the apo 35 is much bigger than the old one, voigtlander still remembers the merits of shooting a range finder. It’s never about critical sharpness imo, but the speed and convenience of carrying one.

[@perfectly_boring]

@@JimmyCheng Now they just need to get rid of that chrome front ring on their black lenses and they have a hit :D

[@JimmyCheng]

@@perfectly_boring apparently they listened. The newer 50 1.5 helier classic and 90 2.8 apo both are rid of the chrome ring :)

实话实说，这颗头除了够小颜值高以外，画质真的就是一般般。蔡司那颗35mm f2先不说，就是小一档的那颗35mm f2.8同等光圈下，成像都比福伦达的好很多😂

[@JimmyCheng]

可能测试里用的35 cron asph不行吧😂

[@elderinmoi1571]

Order one if you don’t care about Leica look and Leica colors. Or shoot Sony right away because why even bother. Your eye sight is suffering.

[@harrivayrynen]

do not say so. I like the rangefinder and Leica M8.2 but I cannot pay for Leica lenses and competitors are quite good also, and with Lightroom or Capture One we can get small boost to colors if needed.

[@elyzabethlatief886]

i do not understand people could buy a leica camera and bought cheap lenses, why not buy a leica lens then buy a used camera body

[@JimmyCheng]

I have all the Leica lenses in the line up, I mean all of them. I don’t find there’s any problem buying voigtlander either.

[@kubowich]

Are you even watching the review(s) ElYzabeth? I mean, these new Voigt lenses are optically amazing…handling and looks is a different story, a subjective one.
