Voigtländer APO-Lanthar Type I 3.5/50 mm 2-tone, VM Customer return

The Voigtländer APO-LANTHAR 50 mm F3.5 VM lens is a high-performance, manual standard lens designed specifically for full-frame VM-mount sensors. It offers exceptional optical performance in a classic design.

The lens construction consists of eight elements in six groups, four of which are made of anomalous partial dispersion glass to achieve uncompromising, exceptional resolution and contrast rendition. The imaging performance is impressive with a sharp image from the periphery to the center of the image across all aperture stops, while

the apochromatic design virtually eliminates chromatic aberrations and other aberrations. This design ensures precise colour rendition and minimizes colour fringing even with high-contrast subjects. The result is outstanding image quality that meets the high demands of discerning photographers. The excellent performance combined with a classic, elegant design makes the APO-LANTHAR 50 mm F3.5 VM an ideal choice for anyone who appreciates both optical perfection and aesthetic beauty.

Type I interprets the design of classic rangefinder lenses from the middle of the last century and is available in black/silver (2-tone) and matt black. The tube of the black/silver version consists of a material mix of brass and aluminum with a weight of 245 g, while the body of the matt black version is made entirely of aluminum (weight only 150 g). The filter diameter is 34 mm, the close-up limit is 45 cm.

A matching lens hood is included in the scope of delivery, as is a black front cover. The Voigtländer APO-LANTHAR 50 mm F3.5 VM is optimized for both film and digital VM rangefinder cameras and can of course also be used on mirrorless digital cameras using an adapter.
