Re: Any love for the Voigtlander Color-Skopar 35mm F2.5 PII pancake?
I have the Ultron 35/2 and I used to have Color-Skopar 35/2.5 "pancake" LTM version which should be optically same as the newer version. 35/2.5 is a film era lens and not optimized for digital. Don't know how well it works on M10 but on Sony FF cameras it had quite a lot of field curvature. I did enjoy it on my Nex-6 which was my main camera when I got it though.
I think Ultron 35/2 is a kind of mix of 35/1.4 classic and 35/1.7 in terms of rendering, bokeh is more funky than with 35/1.7. It's pretty sharp up close like the 35/1.7 and focuses to 0.58m (vs. 0.5m for 35/1.7 and 0.7 for 35/2.5, 0.9m for the old 35/2.5 LTM). I think 35/2.5 has similar rendering to other Color Skopars, a rather contrasty look. Can't remember a lot of details about it as I sold mine a few years ago already and it never got much use after I moved to FF Sony cameras.
Nowadays I'm using LTM Color-Skopar pair 28/3.5 and 50/2.5 a lot on my Sony A9 and Sigma fp and enjoying both though, especially the 28/3.5.
