lenses for SLR mounts. There have been two different versions of this lens:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Voigtlander 28mm 2.8 SL II N Color-Skopar<\/strong><br \/>\n180g\/230g (F\/EF), black, MFD 0.22 m, Nikon-F\/Canon-EF, 2012-2016<\/li>\n<li><strong>Voigtlander 28mm 2.8 SL IIs Color-Skopar<br \/>\n<\/strong>205g, black\/black with silver front ring, MFD 0.15 m, Nikon-F, 2021-<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are a few interesting things to point out here. The first version of this lens was released in 2012 for Nikon F and Canon EF and it is smaller than the newer version introduced in 2021. The new version makes use of the same optical design, but the mechanical design has changed, as you can now focus closer. There is also no EF version anymore. This is a review of the latest version introduced in 2021, it has the following specifications:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>Diameter: 66 mm<\/li>\n<li>Field of view: 74.8\u00b0 (diagonally)<\/li>\n<li>Length: 33 mm<\/li>\n<li>Weight: 203g (without hood and caps)<\/li>\n<li>Filter Diameter: 52 mm<\/li>\n<li>Number of Aperture Blades: 9 (rounded)<\/li>\n<li>Elements\/Groups: 7\/6<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-52208 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Voigtlander-28mm-SLIIs_Diagram-300x178.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"178\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Voigtlander-28mm-SLIIs_Diagram-300x178.png 300w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Voigtlander-28mm-SLIIs_Diagram.png 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/li>\n<li>Close Focusing Distance: 0.15 m<\/li>\n<li>Maximum Magnification: 1:2.4 (measured)<\/li>\n<li>Mount: Nikon-F<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>buy from <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/42X1qjX\">amazon.com<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3wAlTyR\">amazon.de<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ebay.com\/sch\/i.html?_from=R40&amp;_trksid=p4432023.m570.l1313&amp;_nkw=Voigtl%C3%A4nder+28mm+2.8+SL&amp;_sacat=0&amp;mkcid=1&amp;mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&amp;siteid=0&amp;campid=5337820268&amp;toolid=20008&amp;mkevt=1\">ebay.com<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ebay.de\/sch\/i.html?_from=R40&amp;_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313&amp;_nkw=Voigtl%C3%A4nder+28mm+2.8+SL&amp;_sacat=0&amp;_odkw=Voigtl%C3%A4nder+28mm+2.8+SLIIS&amp;_osacat=0&amp;mkcid=1&amp;mkrid=707-53477-19255-0&amp;siteid=77&amp;campid=5337820268&amp;toolid=20008&amp;mkevt=1\">ebay.de<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/bhpho.to\/48zEYyt\">B&amp;H<\/a> (advertisement\/affiliate links) for <strong>$549<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Handling \/ Build Quality<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_52144\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-52144\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-52144\" src=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Voigtlander_28mm_2.8_Color-Skopar_SLIIs.jpg\" alt=\"voigtl\u00e4nder sl iis color-skopar nikon f 28mm 2.8 ai-s freview 42mp sony nikon z 61mp z6 z7 z8 z9 a7riv a7rv contrast sharpness bokeh vignetting portrait\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Voigtlander_28mm_2.8_Color-Skopar_SLIIs.jpg 800w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Voigtlander_28mm_2.8_Color-Skopar_SLIIs-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Voigtlander_28mm_2.8_Color-Skopar_SLIIs-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-52144\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Voigtl\u00e4nder 28mm 2.8 SL IIs Color-Skopar<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The design of the Voigtl\u00e4nder SL lenses has undergone several changes over the years. In 2017 Cosina updated the design of the whole line up and it closely resembles that of old Nikon lenses now. They have a sprocket on the aperture ring, colorful markings and all but the 55mm 1.2 also feature a silver ring with DoF markings.<\/p>\n<p>The casing feels like it is an all metal design, all the writings are engraved and filled with paint.<\/p>\n<p>The focus ring has a nice and even but slightly soft resistance. It has a long focus throw as it takes 270\u00b0 from the minimum focus distance of 0.15 m to infinity and it turns &#8220;the Nikon way&#8221;.

Cosina is using either 10 or 12 straight aperture blades leading to distinct sunstars &#8211; even when the lens is only slightly stopped down.<br \/>\nFor all their current SL lenses for F-mount they decided to go for 9 rounded aperture blades though. As I have already shown you before this is good news for the bokeh when the lens is slightly stopped down, but it also leads to less distinct suntars. From f\/11 to f\/22 they still look quite alright to me though thanks to a mostly even length of the rays.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to know more about the sunstar rendering of different lenses have a look

thanks to its parameters. At very short focus distances you may still spot some magenta\/green outlining in out of focus areas though.<\/p>\n<p>In extreme scenarios like the one above a bit of purple fringing is visible at f\/2.8, but it is mostly gone when stopping down to f\/4.0 or further.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>good<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #339966;\">1:2.4 magnification<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #339966;\">sharpness (except for corners at infinity)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #339966;\">flare resistance<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #339966;\">bokeh (quality, not quantity)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #339966;\">build quality and handling<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #339966;\">size\/weight<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<td><strong>average<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>vignetting<\/li>\n<li>distortion<\/li>\n<li>CA correction<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<td><strong>not good<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">coma correction<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>Sometimes you get surprised when you least expect it. Reviewing this lens was one such case. I expected this Voigtl\u00e4nder 28mm 2.8 SL IIs Color-Skopar to merely be a compact wide angle lens for stopped down landscape\/architecture shooting. Now probably this <em>is<\/em> its main appeal to most buyers, but there is more: this is one of the few wide angle lenses offering a magnification that brings you close to macro territory.<\/p>\n<p>Actually, I have been looking for a wide angle macro for a long time, but all the alternatives I was aware of had one flaw too many. What I care about for this application: good sharpness at close distances, nice bokeh, a pleasant to use focus ring with a long throw, rounded aperture blades and good flare resistance. This Voigtl\u00e4nder 28mm 2.8 SL IIs has all of that.<\/p>\n<p><em>buy from <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/42X1qjX\">amazon.com<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3wAlTyR\">amazon.de<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ebay.com\/sch\/i.html?_from=R40&amp;_trksid=p4432023.m570.l1313&amp;_nkw=Voigtl%C3%A4nder+28mm+2.8+SL&amp;_sacat=0&amp;mkcid=1&amp;mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&amp;siteid=0&amp;campid=5337820268&amp;toolid=20008&amp;mkevt=1\">ebay.com<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ebay.de\/sch\/i.html?_from=R40&amp;_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313&amp;_nkw=Voigtl%C3%A4nder+28mm+2.8+SL&amp;_sacat=0&amp;_odkw=Voigtl%C3%A4nder+28mm+2.8+SLIIS&amp;_osacat=0&amp;mkcid=1&amp;mkrid=707-53477-19255-0&amp;siteid=77&amp;campid=5337820268&amp;toolid=20008&amp;mkevt=1\">ebay.de<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/bhpho.to\/48zEYyt\">B&amp;H<\/a> (advertisement\/affiliate links) for <strong>$549<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Alternatives<\/h2>\n<p>A good starting point is our <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wideangle-lenses-for-the-sony-alpha-7-series\/\">Guide to 20-28mm Wide Angle Lenses for Sony E-mount<\/a> as it covers a lot of modern and vintage 28mm lenses.<\/p>\n<p>Generally for E-mount and Z-mount users lenses like the <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/sony-fe-28mm-f2-review\/\">Sony FE 28mm 2.0<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/review-viltrox-fe-28mm-1-8-af\/\">Viltrox 28mm 1.8 AF<\/a> are probably better choices.

zoom.<\/p>\n<p>None of these lenses offers a magnification even nearly as high as 1:2.4 though.<\/p>\n<h2>Sample Images<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_52324\"
