Just got my copy of the Voigtlander 28mm Ultron II! I took it out with me on a portrait shoot that really required a lot of context for a few of the shots.

It's super small and feels great to shoot with. The focus ring and the tab feels just right. The optical quality was just fantastic, even wide open at f/2.












Nice bit of sun flare

Hey Giuseppe,
Awesome shot! Could you share some technical details?
What benefits did you get from using Cobalt Repro? Does it give a wider range of tones like a linear RAW? I'm interested but haven't given it a shot myself.

Thank you, certainly!

Initially, the shot found itself relegated to the "delete" folder due to the high ISO setting and resulting noise. However, my perspective shifted after discovering the Denoise AI feature within Lightroom.

The vivid hues emanating from the sky pushed the boundaries of the colour gamut, making any adjustments to lighting, shadow recovery, or other sliders a potential threat to colour consistency. With Repro, you have a lot more room for any possible editing. By tailoring your contrast adjustments to specific areas for enhancement, rather than relying on the non-linear profiles already with a standard contrast curve, you unlock a realm of possibilities. To illustrate, the image comparison below ; on the left the Repro, on the right the Adobe STD profile. You can see how big is the room for improvements when you move the curve or you edit the white/highlights.

Thanks for sharing!
It took a while but Adobe delivered with their Denoise. I don't even use DXO Pure RAW anymore. High ISO noise is no longer a concern.
I will give the Repro a try!

I recently found out that the metal hood cap for the Voigtlander 28/2.8 or 40/2.8 Type I lenses fits the Voigtlander 28/2 Ultron II perfectly!

Nice! First time I've liked the aesthetics of the 28 Ultron II external design Does it still fit with a thin filter on the lens?

Yes, I had a slim filter on the lens.
