Product Overview

Voigtlander 28mm F2.8 Color Skopar SL II is a manual-focus wide-angle prime lens for Canon EF-mount and Nikon F-mount. It covers the full-frame image circle. Introduced by Voigtlander in 2012, it has 7 elements in 6 groups.
Manual focus may be limiting to some, but purists will find it much more engaging. There are also fewer things to go wrong on the long run. The entire lens is crafted out of metal, which imparts a level of tactile sense of quality.
As a wide-angle prime lens that is quite compact, the Voigtlander 28mm F2.8 Color Skopar SL II can be an interesting component of a prime-lens kit well adapted for travel. Even though the lens is not stabilized, at this focal range it does not usually matter. In fact, some may be able to get cleaner corners without image stabilization.
