Tiny but Wide

The Voigtländer Color Skopar 20mm f/3.5 SL II is a unique lens.  It is a “pancake” (very compact) lens, yet has a very wide focal length of 20mm.  I’ve really enjoyed having such a wide focal length in such a compact package.  It doesn’t set any resolution records, but it is capable of producing very nice results when used at optimal apertures.  I will be sharing a series of images of the lens and by the lens as I work through my review process.   I’m an experienced lens reviewer but had never reviewed a Voigtländer lens. I had a number of readers/viewers mentioning them to me, so I decided to bring the Color Skopar 20mm f/3.5 in at the same time as the new Sigma 20mm f/1.4 ART as a contrast of extreme approaches to the same focal length. Though the Sigma obviously has higher resolution, I actually reached for the Voigtländer more often, and here’s why: read my review here.
