Voigtlander's compact modern wide — the Cosina-made Color-Skopar 28mm f/3.5 in Leica Thread Mount.
The Color-Skopar 28mm f/3.5 is a modern Cosina-made Voigtlander wide-angle, released in 2000 within the Bessa rangefinder system. It is a current-era manual-focus lens in Leica Thread Mount, not a vintage optic, offered as a small and affordable moderate wide for screw-mount and adapted bodies.
It is a manual-focus rangefinder-coupled lens with a 28mm focal length and a maximum aperture of f/3.5. The barrel is compact and light, and framing on most rangefinder bodies uses either 28mm frame lines or an accessory finder. As a moderate wide, it holds usable depth of field from mid-distances when stopped down.
The 28mm angle of view is a classic reportage and street focal length, wide enough for context but not so wide that perspective feels forced. The Color-Skopar rendering is even and contrasty, and the small size makes it easy to carry all day on a compact body for travel and documentary work.
Being a newer Cosina-Voigtlander lens, used copies are generally clean and mechanically tight, with good availability; look for smooth focus, clear glass and a positive aperture click rather than worrying about age defects. It adapts to Leica M with an LTM-to-M ring and to mirrorless bodies via a simple adapter for everyday shooting.
