Another lens review today! This time, it’s Ancient City Photo’s take on the Voigtländer Color-Skopar Pancake II 35mm f/2.5 M-mount lens, one of the smallest 35mm lenses currently available, and one of the more interesting 35’s for Leica M mount cameras. While being only a “slow” f/2.5, this lens is incredibly small, and incredibly good. On a first glance one would probably heavily underrate it (such as I did), but it is in fact highly regarded by many M shooters, and rightly so, as ACP’s review proves with formidable pictures.

P.S.: The lens seems to be unavailable at the moment. B&H list it as back-ordered, and it is currently not featured on the Voigtländer website. Considering the size of Cosina, I assume they are currently concentrating on the production of other lenses (such as the new Heliar 75/1.8 M and Nokton 25/0.95 MFT), and factory stocks have been sold out. I do not believe they took it out of their program, considering how popular it is.
