Leica M-mount 28mm lenses are generally not cheap, as they are standard wide-angle lenses. However, the quality of the Voigtlander VM 28mm f/2 lens is really impressive, with rich colors and high resolution. The Leica M8 originally produced images that were quite mild, but with this lens, the colors become much richer and the bokeh at f/2 is also very nice.

In general situations, this lens is not much worse than a Leica lens, but in complex lighting situations with high contrast, it may produce strange colors in the highlights or shadows. The price is reasonable for the quality of the lens. At this price point, the VM 28mm f/2 is definitely a good lens.
