Voigtlander ULTRON 27mm f/2: B&H Photo / Amazon

A few days ago the release of the upcoming release date of the Voigtlander ULTRON 27mm f/2 was leaked here. Today we can confirm that Voigtlander plans to officially announce the Voigtlander ULTRON 27mm f/2  in June according to Voiglander’s press release.

Thank you for your patronage of Cosina products.

Today, Cosina will release the ULTRON 27mm F2 interchangeable lens for Fujifilm X mount in June 2023.

We will inform you once the official release date is decided

Main features
Exclusively designed for Fujifilm X mount
Equipped with an optical system optimized for the image sensor of the Fujifilm X system camera. High resolution is maintained to the image periphery without relying on the camera’s optical correction function, and phenomena such as color cast are also suppressed.

Information communication with the body by electronic contact
Equipped with electronic contacts for highly reliable electrical communication between the lens and body. In addition to Exif information, focus check, and shooting distance linked display, certain models also support in-body image stabilization and parallax correction through the combination of a body that supports telecommunications and the latest firmware (*1).

Manual focus for reliable focus operation
The use of an all-metal helicoid unit that has been processed and adjusted with high precision and high-quality grease that produces just the right amount of torque enables focusing with a smooth operating feel. It enables fine focus adjustment.

Beautiful bokeh with 10 aperture blades
A 10-blade diaphragm is used to make the hole formed by the diaphragm blades closer to a circle. Out-of-focus areas are rendered naturally, and point light sources are not polygonal but round and soft.

Aperture ring for direct mechanical operation
The aperture mechanism uses a mechanism in which the aperture ring is directly connected to the opening and closing of the aperture blades, similar to Voigtlander’s VM mount and mirrorless mount lenses. With a 1/3 step click, you can enjoy the feeling of operating the mechanism directly.

Focus ring for excellent operability
Operability is improved by equipping the focus ring for focus adjustment with a lever that is easy to put on with your fingers. You can also know the approximate distance you set without looking at the distance indicator depending on the position of the lever.

Minimum shooting distance 0.25m
Despite its compact style, the shortest shooting distance is 0.25m. It also supports table photos such as dishes and favorite accessories.

*1 Notes on electronic communication compatible bodies
This product is equipped with electronic contacts, but there are restrictions on the bodies that can be used for electronic communication. Please check the body list below. (April 2023 survey) Read More »
