The Voigtländer 27 mm f2 Ultron X is a completely new development and has been exclusively adapted to the Fujifilm APS-C sensor. It is a standard manual focus lens with a large aperture that covers an APS-C format image circle and has an angle of view similar to a 40 mm full-frame equivalent.
Despite its relatively large aperture of F2.0, the lens is kept very compact and slim, the length from the bayonet is about 23 mm. The closest focusing distance is only 25 cm, which makes the 27 mm F2.0 Ultron X particularly suitable for imaging small objects and (f.e.) food photography. The focus ring is equipped with a grooved elevation for intuitive and precise control. Likewise, the aperture ring has an accurately milled structure and can be adjusted in 1/3 steps, and the 10 aperture blades ensure an extremely smooth focus gradient. Overall, the lens conveys a rich and very sensitive handling and excels in image results.
The 27 mm F2.0 Ultron X is also equipped with electronic contacts that ensure reliable communication between the lens and camera body. Functions such as focus check, shooting distance display, and in-camera image stabilization and parallax correction are supported on certain models * (please see notes at the end!).
The new Voigtländer 27 mm F2.0 Ultron X offers the right mix of perspective, image quality and instinctive handling for many photographic situations. Due to its compactness and the low weight of 120 g, it always remains a pleasantly discreet companion in everyday photography.
