Thanks guys...and @Takira71A@ for the review links.

I'm torn between the 35/2.5 Skopar and the newer CV 35/2 Ultron. The latter seems even smaller than my CV 21/3.5 Color-Skopar but not quite pancake size.
Wondering how they differ wide open. From what I've read the CV 35/2 Ultron performs better off-axis but how would they compare rendering-wise?


That was not a problem at all Fred (glad to be of some assistance).

The Voigtlander Ultron 35mm f/2 Aspherical will definitely render quite differently to the Voigtlander Color-Skopar 35mm f/2.5 P II Lens:

I have no doubt, that the Voigtlander Ultron 35mm f/2 is Technically the better 'All-around' Lens.
I.e... It is smoother, more refined, has better bokeh and less vignetting, etc. However, the Color-Skopar definitely has a lot, more 'Character'.
--
Think of the Ultron as an 'Every Day and Everywhere' Lens and the Color-Skopar as more of an alternative, 'Specialty' Lens -- With an additional and more 'distinctive' character.

"Six of One... Half a Dozen of the Other." You get the idea of course!
