Main—28/2.8 Color Skopar SL II

The Voigtlander 28mm f/2.8 Color-Skopar SL II is a pancake lens. With only 7 elements, the Voigtlander 28/2.8 has some limitations to what it can correct, and this results in peformance on full frame that is not entirely satisfactory off-center. Its main appeal is the ultra compact size.

The 28/2.8 Color-Skopar is a solidly built lens with metal construction. It is a CPU lens for Nikon and Canon, so electronic aperture control is available (ring must be set to f/22 on the lens). The ring is non-locking so on Nikon if the camera indicates an error, check that the lens is set to f/22.

Diglloyd DAP is DSLR-oriented, but also contains workflow and other topics. Much of the focus is on Canon and Nikon but also Pentax and Pentax medium format.

Special emphasis is placed on lens evaluation, focusing on Canon and Nikon and Sigma lenses, but with a few others like Rokinon/Samyang.

  • Make better images by learning how to get the best results right away.
  • Save money by choosing the right lens for your needs the first time, particularly some of the new Sigma Art lenses vs Nikon and Canon.
  • Workflow discusses image organization, raw conversion and post processing. Many examples show processing parameters for direct insight into how the image was converted.
  • Jaw-dropping image quality found nowhere else utilizing Retina-grade images up to full camera resolution, plus large crops [past 2 years or so].
  • Real world examples with insights found nowhere else. Make sharper images just by understanding lens behavior you won’t read about elsewhere.
  • Aperture series from wide open through stopped down, showing the full range of lens performance and bokeh.
  • Optical quality analysis of field curvature, focus shift, sharpness, flare, distortion, and performance in the field.
