Voigtlander 40mm f/2 Ultron SL II Review
Voigtlander 40mm f/2 Ultron SL II Verdict
Although this lens is capable of delivering very good sharpness and low CA in the centre of the frame from maximum aperture, the performance towards the edges of the frame is disappointing, and may put many prospective buyers off, what is otherwise a very nice lens.Those looking for a retro-style-pancake optic may still be tempted, especially as Nikon's 40mm f/2.8 P lens is no longer in production.

Includes close up lens and hood
