Compact wide-angle manual focus lens for Leica M-mount cameras.
The Voigtlander Color-Skopar 35mm f/3.5 VM is a compact wide-angle prime for the Leica M bayonet system, using Voigtlander's Color Skopar optical formula in a particularly compact body design. VM = Voigtlander M mount (Leica M compatible). The f/3.5 maximum aperture is slower than typical 35mm options but enables a very small, lightweight lens.
35mm focal length, f/3.5 maximum aperture, Color Skopar formula, Leica M bayonet mount (VM), rangefinder-coupled, extremely compact body, 39mm filter thread.
The Voigtlander Color-Skopar 35mm f/3.5 VM is valued for its minimal size and weight — it is among the smallest 35mm lenses available for the M system, making it ideal for discreet street and travel photography. The f/3.5 aperture is adequate for daylight work. The Color Skopar formula delivers sharp, well-corrected results.
Inspect for fungus, haze, and coating condition. Test rangefinder focus coupling accuracy. Confirm Leica M bayonet engagement. Check aperture blades. The 39mm filter thread accommodates standard small-diameter filters.
