The Voigtlander (or to be precise: Voigtl?nder) Color Skopar 20mm f/3.5 SL II Aspherical is a interesting representative of its species: it is a ultra-wide angle pancake lens. The Skopar has one as a length of merely 28.8mm and a weight of 205g - a nothingness compared to e.g.
This lens is pretty unique as a copy of a 1970s Nikkor 20mm, and performs very well. I'm using it on a tilt-shift adaptor on Sony A7R. Very good value and exceptional image quality.

very weak; momentarily simply dismal image quality on the edge of the frame; very high astigmatism; huge coma; significant vignetting on full frame
Landscape panorams photos and people, the lens has wonderful depth giving 3-D quality to images, it does fall off at the edges but that suits my images perfectly. The build and solidity are first rate, the focus is silky smooth, buy it, you won't regret it.

Great lens. Now part of a whole set. Love these Cosina Voigtlander lens on my D750. Really great light combination!
