Zeiss biogon t 25mm f 2 8 zm vs voigtl nder color skopar 28mm f 2 8 aspherical?

These two are close cousins. Both are manual-focus primes at f/2.8 for full frame, both mount on Leica M bodies, and neither is stabilised. So the real choice comes down to field of view.

The Zeiss Biogon T* 25mm is the wider of the two. It takes in more of the scene, which suits tight rooms and busy streets. The Voigtländer Color-Skopar 28mm frames a little tighter, which feels more like a natural everyday view to me.

Pick by what you shoot, not by name. If you already know you want a wider look, go with the 25mm. Either way, a prime like this is small and fast, as the lens guide explains. You can see every body that takes them on the Zeiss page and the Voigtländer page.
