It features an ultra-fast f/1.2 aperture, making it ideal for low-light photography and creating beautiful bokeh effects. The lens is compact and well-built, the filter ring is now black and with a new metal construction that ensures durability. It offers excellent sharpness and minimal aberrations, making it a popular choice among photographers who value both performance and aesthetics.

The NEW Voigtlander APO-Lanthar 50mm f/2 Aspherical lens for Leica M-Mount cameras is based on the Sony E-Mount version released last year (2020), and has been optimised for full-frame M-mount sensors. Voigtlander only gives the APO-Lanthar title to high-performance products, those with ?outstanding imaging performance?.

Optically the lens is constructed of 10 elements in eight groups, with two abnormally dispersed glass elements and two double-sided aspherical lenses along with a floating mechanism. This produces perfectly circular bokeh wide open and also closed down as far as f/5.6 thanks to its 12-bladed diaphragm. The apochromat design produces the ?ultimate performance? in regards resolution and contrast.

This high performance apochromatic lens reduces axial chromatic aberration to close to zero. Abnormal Partial Dispersion glass is used in 6 out of 8 elements for very high optical performance. The compact design reduces lens length to only 63.3mm.

Vignetting has been kept to a minimum. 12 aperture blades keep the aperture close to a circular shape for beautiful bokeh. The synergistic effect of the long focal length and large F2 aperture produces large background blurring for photographic expression.

Black or Silver finishes are available. A dedicated reversible metal lens hood is included for convenient storage and transportation.
