A high-performance wide-angle lens that emphasizes light handling with a rangefinder camera. By adopting the latest optical design and aspherical lens, while maintaining the same optical performance as our VM mount lens ULTRON Vintage Line 28mm F2 Aspherical, we have achieved extremely compact styling by keeping the maximum aperture at F2.8. I’m here. It uses an L (L39) mount, has a nostalgic look with a high degree of taste, and uses a brass material for the lens exterior.

φ39mm screw mount

The lens mount uses a φ39mm screw mount, which is a universal mount that appeared in the 20th century. You can enjoy shooting by attaching it to rangefinder cameras of all ages and countries that have the same standard.

Compact & high performance

By adopting an aspherical lens, excellent optical performance is demonstrated even from the maximum aperture. The total length of the product is 22.5mm (from the mount surface), and the vignetting of the shooting frame when using the rangefinder is minimal, and the handling is good.

Two types of exterior to choose from

There are two types of exterior, silver and black paint. As for the black paint, even the mount part is finished in black, and the focus lock button, focus lever, and infinity/close-range stoppers are nickel-plated to add an accent to the design.

Dedicated hood included

It comes with a dedicated aluminum screw-in hood and an aluminum front cap that take into consideration the design of the lens body as well as the light blocking performance .

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 .

Equipped with a rangefinder interlocking system

The high-precision rangefinder interlocking mechanism enables severe focusing near the maximum aperture. The shortest shooting distance with the rangefinder is 0.7m.

full size image circle

A generous image circle has been secured for 35mm full-frame format .

보익틀랜더 컬러스코파 28미리 F2.8 렌즈가 출시되었습니다.

요새 28미리 출시가 꽤 많은 듯 하네요. 광각의 계절인건지...ㅎ

타입 1과 타입 2 그리고 스크류마운트 버전까지..

보익 좋아하시는 분들도 많으실 걸로 알고 있는데.. 가격은 80만원 정도 책정되었군요.

이제 저가형 렌즈군은 중국산이 거의 포지셔닝을 하고 있고

보익도 예전에 비해선 꽤 비싸진 느낌입니다.

물론 그만큼 퀄리티도 좋아졌겠지만 말이죠.

렌즈군이 다양해지는건 유저에게는 언제나 반가운 일이 아닐 수 없습니다~
