Description — Voigtlander 28mm f/3.5
The Voigtlander 28mm f/3.5 Color-Skopar is a manual focus, full-frame prime lens mounted in the Leica M bayonet standard. Its 28mm focal length places it firmly in the wide-angle category, well-suited for street, travel, and landscape work where a broader perspective is an asset. Weighing just 180g, it is a genuinely compact optic that adds minimal bulk to any M-mount setup.
The maximum aperture of f/3.5 keeps the lens physically small while still providing enough light-gathering for most daylight and mixed-light shooting situations. The 39mm filter thread at the front accommodates a range of filters in a classic, compact size. With no autofocus and no image stabilization, the Color-Skopar is designed for photographers who appreciate mechanical simplicity and the tactile engagement of manual focus shooting.
It is categorized as a prime lens, offering a single, deliberate focal length rather than zoom flexibility.
