The type of photography that you are planning to use is an important decision factor. Here we have evaluated the Voigtlander Ultron 27mm F2 and the Viltrox 28mm F4.5 XF for their suitability to various photography scenarios:
Size and Weight Comparison

The Viltrox 28mm F4.5 XF with a length of 20mm, is 3mm shorter. On the other hand, the Viltrox 28mm F4.5 XF has a larger diameter of 60mm compared to the Voigtlander Ultron 27mm F2's 59mm diameter.
