 I know the snob segment of the Leica rangefinder community look down on third party glass, Light Lens Labs, makes great lenses. Voigtlander has made M mount lenses since the very late 1990s and I'm blown away with the results from 28 F2.8 Color Skopar and the 90 F2.8 APO-Skopar lenses. The reason why I picked up the 28 F2.8 Color Skopar because I can't use the Light Lens Lab 9 element 28 F2.8 "Elmarit", bad things would happen as in you demolish the meter sensor. You don't have that problem with the Color Skopar lens. I reserve the Light lens Labs 28 for my M6 and use the Voigtlander on my M2 and M5, the M4-2 is neutral ground.  My 28 F2.8 Color Skopar is great for street work and architecture.

  It wasn't the nicest morning for a photowalk, various shades of grey, at least it didn't rain. I rolled with the Leica M2 and  had an opportunity to shoot with the 28 F2.8 Color Skopar lens from Voigtlander. I've said this before elsewhere, less than wonderful weather makes for great photography. Toronto was very misty in spots, thankfully while looking like it might rain, it didn't. The light was nice and had a blast. Part two will follow in a few days.  Camera: Leica M2, 50 F2 Dual Range Summicron lens, 28 F2.8 Voigtlander Color Skopar Lens.  Film: Rollei RPX 400, Rollei Supergrain 1+15.
