Key Features — Voigtlander 28mm f/2.0 Aspherical VM Type II
28mm f/2.0 Aspherical Prime: Aspherical optical design at f/2.0 controls aberrations and distortion across the full frame, particularly at the edges of the wide-angle frame.
Leica M Mount: Natively compatible with Leica M-mount bodies including the M10, M11, and M240, as well as third-party M-mount cameras from Zeiss and Voigtlander.
Full-Frame Coverage: Designed to cover a full 35mm image circle, so there is no crop factor on full-frame Leica M bodies.
Manual Focus Design: Precision manual focus ring pairs naturally with rangefinder-coupled shooting for deliberate, tactile focus control.
Compact 244g Build: Weighing just 244g, the lens keeps overall kit weight low — a practical advantage for street, travel, and documentary shooters.
39mm Filter Thread: The small 39mm filter diameter makes screw-in filters compact and affordable, with a wide selection of compatible options readily available.

Description — Voigtlander 28mm f/2.0 Aspherical VM Type II
The Voigtlander 28mm f/2.0 Ultron Aspherical VM Lens Type II is a prime wide-angle optic built for the Leica M rangefinder mount. With a fixed 28mm focal length and a maximum aperture of f/2.0, it offers a solid combination of field of view and light-gathering capability for full-frame shooters. Designed explicitly for the rangefinder camera system, this lens embraces manual focus operation, putting full control of the focus plane in the photographer's hands.
It covers the full-frame format and weighs just 244g, keeping your kit light without sacrificing a fast aperture. The 39mm filter thread allows for the use of screw-in filters, and the absence of image stabilization is consistent with the manual, deliberate nature of rangefinder photography. For photographers invested in the Leica M ecosystem who want a compact, fast 28mm prime, this lens is a focused and well-specified tool.
