This retro-styled metal lens is probably narrower than your finger and only weighs slightly more than a deck of cards

The Voigtlander Color-Skopar 35mm f/3.5 Aspherical VM in both silver and black sits against a dark background.

Using a tiny pancake lens can make a mirrorless camera feel more like a compact camera – and Leica M mount shooters will soon have another option to choose from. On February 14, Cosina announced the Voigtlander Color-Skopar 35mm f/3.5 Aspherical VM lens, a compact lens that only adds 14mm (.55 inches) from the lens mount and weighs just 99g (about 3.5 oz).

The lens is part of Cosina’s VM series, a line of manual focus optics designed for the full-frame Leica M mount. Like others in the series, the Voigtlander Color-Skopar 35mm f/3.5 is made from brass and includes a retro-styled focus scale.
