    Overview

    The Voigtländer Color Skopar SL II 28mm f/2.8 is a compact, all-metal pancake lens (24.5mm, ~180g) praised for excellent build and smooth manual focus. Optically, it delivers very good images with 9-blade aperture, but is not superfast. Weaknesses include tricky mounting due to short length and lack of AF or aperture lock. It suits travel and street photographers seeking a lightweight, affordable (~€530) prime for Nikon or Canon SLRs, offering full electronic compatibility.
