Watch before you buy: 28mm 1.5 Voigtlander Nokton vs. 28mm 1.4 Thypoch Simera

Thypoch's recently released Simera 28mm f/1.4 for the Leica M mount vs Voigtlander's 28mm f/1.5, not such an easy choice. Check out how they compare in the video! Shoutout to Camtec for the Voigtlander Nokton lens and to Thypoch for suplying the Simera.

    When I got an M10R the first lens I bought was the Thypoch 28mm …. Because I was coming from a Q2 with the 1.7 28. Super impressed.

    They punch way above their weight with regards to price and performance, the 28mm is no slouch and a joy to use. Enjoy!

    Hi Andrew, thanks to your video reviews I just purchased the Voigtlander 28mm F1.5 from Camtec. I ordered the silver brass version. I received it today (I’m in Ottawa) and it is lovely on my M11-P. I let Camtec know you were the inspiration and they included a lovely Leica hat with my order. Thanks for all your videos. Looking forward to you reviewing the Voigtlander 50mm F2.2 when it becomes available.

    Thank you for this interesting, informative video. I like your dog and the background painting! I couldn't decide which to buy so I bought both figuring I'd sell one, and like you, I like them both, very nice images and a pleasure to use. I still have to decide which one to sell -- aaargh! But the good thing is, just as you said, both are very nice.

    I had the Voigtlander but then loved the look of the Thypoch at 1.4 so did a swaparoo. I've been so impressed with my Thypoch 28mm 1.4 (currently 6-bit coded to a Summicron 28mm), wide open it produces a really nice magical feel, it has great character in my opinion. I loved the Voigtlander look, feel and size but it's a small compromise with the Thypoch being slightly larger for the images I'm getting back from it. I believe the parent company of Thypoch either does or has another brand that makes cinematic (is that the right word) lenses and that would make a lot of sense as to why the Simera 28mm has an almost filmic look to it. Love it, I'll be keeping my eye on Thypoch and am also tempted by their new 50mm collapsible. :)

    Well done, to the point, impartial, thank you. I like the Thypoch for character now that you've reviewed it. I do have the Voigtlander aspherical 35 & 50 mm lenses, and they're great for precision and landscape. But for character, I have the 50mm Summicron V2 DR (M4), 50mm Sonnar, 35mm Summaron, 25mm Biogon, plus a few others.

    Glad you found it helpful and great collection! The 35mm 2.8 Summaron is one of my all time favorite lenses. The ASPH Voigtlanders are great but they can get too clinical for some applications. Thanks for the comment!

    @@GenericPhotographer I actually tested the 28mm Summaron. It was a fantastic lens, sharp yet very subtle, compared to my Leica X-U Summilux which was harsh. But I couldn't live with the f5.6 aperture and I had to support another filter size 34mm for it, since I shoot an M246 Monochrom. So, the 35mm Summaron was a great alternative. I have lenses with 39mm, 46mm, 49mm (Voigtllander ASPH) filter sizes, so I already have those 3 cases in my bag, except I use the 39mm only for my M4 lenses.

    @@antoniolabayen8288 i went through a very similar process when considering the 28 summaron. I enjoyed the lens but I couldn’t really get past the 5.6 aperture. The 35 2.8 is every bit as exciting to use and feels like a speed demon by being two stops quicker.

    Thanks Andrew - for Canadians, the price difference favours the Voigtlander. I checked the Camtec website and when factoring in USD exchange and shipping for the Thypoch, the Voigtlander wins - especially considering size and weight. Considering ordering from Camtec.

    Hi Andrew. Mike Chudley (another photographer on this platform) mentioned in his video that Thypoch in the future will be releasing infinity lock-less versions of the 28mm. Are you able to confirm this as well? The ones without inifity lock right now are the ones in non-M mount. I'm very curious to know if they have indeed decided to make a lock-less version of the M mount lens, too.

    Great breakdown. I own three VL 28 and 35 f1.5 and while I haven’t shot the Thypoc the size form factor and weight is what seals the deal to me. Great image quality at a fraction of the Leica price and I’m questioning myself more and more why spend a lot more money going Leica when in some cases you don’t get the same multiple of quality or benefit.

    For the size and the fact you can get a brass version, I bought the Voightlander- but I also have a number of 7 Artisans black mist filters to use on it, so I think it should be able to achieve the more cine look using the filters and not have to deal with the Thypochs poorer ergonomics. Both lenses are amazing though... good times!

    Leica and Cosina have been making lenses for decades and we can certainly say they are reliable and well made. Thypoch has been selling lenses for a year? Way too soon to say they are producing quality product. Who knows what quality helicoid grease they are using? There are also good reasons why most manufacturers don't drill holes in helicoid sleeves for DoF scales. I might check resale values on Thypoch in 10 years. The Voigtlander 28mm f2 Ultron is the best for Leica M it certainly beats the Summicron and the Elmarit. The Zeiss Distagon is pretty awesome too. Sharp enough isn't good enough on a wide angle lens.

    I’m in the market for a fast 28mm M mount and I couldn’t help thinking during this review that the Ultron f2 is probably more the lens for me. The size (and voigtlander ergonomics - which I like) appeal.

    I'll stick with the Ultron. The Nokton, @f2 can't touch the Ultron WO That Typoch is not my vibe at all, infinity lock? Sharpness at infinity even @f2.8 can't touch the ultron WO, those colors.. that contrast.. I think (but you can try) light transmission seems worse. No thank you, that focus ring.. that distance scale.. The Color Skopar 2.8 II @104gr is so lovely, 8 elements...

    What I like on the Voightländer is that you can buy it in brass/black paint and chrome. If Typoch will offer such variants I might buy one
