Voigtländer Ultron 21/1.8 21mm f/1.8 announced

[Dirk]

Looks like it has impressively low distortion for such a fast superwide. That's important to me as a film shooter.

Tom, any night time shots with the lens? I'm really eager to see what it does in dark streets

The new Voigtlander 21/1.8's are now in transit and expected to arrive after Christmas.

As anticipated the Cosina factory was unable to fill all of my order,
but some of the new 21/1.8's are still available.

Next shipment is likely several months away.

Thanks For Looking!

Stephen

All are at f1.8 or 2.0, ISO 640, the B&W files are out of the camera "vintage black and white."

Lovely images... I have been pondering this lens for the past couple of weeks too, ready to pull the trigger any time now.

Got mine few days ago and am very impressed with the build quality and how the lens balances with the camera so well, the fixed hood does make it a bit bigger than it needed to be, but it feels nice.

Sharp enough wide open, I really like the rendering and didn't pay attention to distortion at all. Close range shots below are at .7m, gotta do Tom's strap measuring mark for shorter distances.
