Voigtlander 28mm f2 Apo-Lanthar Aspherical VM Lens

The Voigtländer 40 mm F1.2 Nokton II* VM combines modern high performance with the timeless charm of classic lens design. Two double-sided aspherical lens elements guarantee excellent image quality – even at open aperture. The large maximum aperture of F1.2 enables a soft, smooth bokeh and opens up creative scope in available light.

Despite its exceptional speed, the lens remains surprisingly compact: with a length that is ideal for working with rangefinder cameras and a weight of just 267 g (without accessories), it is light and balanced in the hand. The short length also reduces vignetting in the viewfinder image – a real advantage when working with optical viewfinders.

For optimum protection against stray light, the optionally available metal lens hood is recommended. This is available either as a compact version (LH-14) or in a longer version (LH-15). Both models can be mounted upside down to save space during transportation.

Differences to version I: the total weight has been further reduced (315 g à 267 g), and the filter ring is now completely black (instead of silver). The optical design has not been changed.

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.

The Voigtlander 50mm f3.5 APO-LANTHAR Type I is an extremely high performance manual focus standard lens optimized for full frame VM mount cameras. The apochromatic design thoroughly eliminates chromatic aberration on axis and other aberrations, while pursuing ultimate performance in terms of resolution and contrast reproduction. While adopting a maximum aperture of F3.5, the lens is composed of eight elements in six groups, four of which are made of anomalous partial dispersion glass to achieve uncompromising optical performance.

The lens combines ultimate optical performance with easy handling and classic vintage rangefinder lens styling. As a tribute to classic rangefinder lenses that appeared in the mid 20th century, the more expensive vintage style straight slot screw heads were chosen instead of less expensive modern Phillips head.

Equipped with a high precision rangefinder linked mechanism, and the silky feel of the all metal helicoid allowing the photographer to experience the true joy of focusing using a traditional rangefinder. The minimum focusing distance of the Type I is 0.45m. The rangefinder close focus is 0.7m (depending upon camera capability), which is linked to the rangefinder. A mechanism is provided to recognize the junction point of the rangefinder linked range by a clicking sensation during focusing operation.

The filter diameter is a retro inspired φ34mm. Two versions of Type I are available: a two tone black paint and chrome model with a heavy feel using brass materials (body weight: 245g) and a lightweight model with a matte black paint and aluminium construction (body weight: 150g). Each version includes a metal hood and a metal cap with the same finish as the lens body.

The NOKTON Vintage Line 35mm F1.5 Aspherical is a regular use lens for rangefinder cameras with a large aperture. Still, the filter diameter is kept to φ39mm and the overall length of the product is short at 36mm, giving it a tight, compact portability.

The lens barrel, with a modern classic design, is equipped with a 6-group, 9-element optical system featuring two double-sided aspheric lenses, which provide excellent optical performance at all apertures.

The minimum focusing distance is 0.5m, shorter than the 0.7m linked to the rangefinder (depending on the camera to which it is attached).

Two styles are available: First, there is Type I, made of aluminum and weighing 188g having both light weight and maximum portability. Also offered is Type II, made of brass and weighing 284g for a sturdy and substantial feeling, with a finish choice of either black or silver.

The optional hoods LH-4N with slits and LH-12 classic style are both compatible.

The Apo-Skopar 90mm F2.8 VM is a manual focus medium focal length telephoto lens optimised for full frame M mount sensors. The newly designed optical system uses Abnormal Partial Dispersion glass for 5 out of 7 elements in 7 groups to make your images rich, three dimensional in character and super sharp!

In addition to high image quality, the apochromatic design makes axial chromatic aberration as close to zero as possible. This lens is also very light, at only 250g. The 90mm is only 60mm in length & due to its small stature, it does not protrude into the viewfinder frame when used on a rangefinder camera.

You may ask why this lens has been announced - when Voigtlander already have a 50mm f1.1. The 50mm f1.2 is a brand new lens design, with a similar specification to the exceedingly popular 40mm f1.2 VM lens.

This lens features two aspherical elements & a 12 aperture blade diaphragm - allowing exceptional performance from F22 all the way to wide open.

The 50mm f1.2 is designed for use with both digital and film photography and is equipped with a rangefinder coupling cam. The minimum close focus distance of this lens is 70cm.

Both the LH-8 and LH-10 lens hoods can be used with this lens. The LH-10 is a brand new lens hood designed for this lens, though you can also use the more compact LH-8.

The HELIAR classic 50mm F1.5 VM is finished to show classical depiction at the wide open apertures by the aberrations that intentionally remained. The Heliar Classic is measured by a different yard stick. Heliar images are about classic style.

This image effect is painterly or even "more fluffy" than images made by modern lenses. By leaving some factors of aberration, both coma and spherical, we create a different image flavor than contemporary images made in digital post-processing. Not every subject demands maximum sharpness and saturation, some require a more delicate touch. Our optical formula is like a hand reaching back in time.

This look cannot be obtained with modern lenses that over correct for various aberrations. In addition to the superior bokeh the remaining frame flare and single coated finish provide an extremely unique palette at wide open aperture settings.

With two aspherical surfaces, the new 50mm f1.5 II from Voigtlander could be one of their best 50mm lenses yet! An apparent vast improvement over the original 50mm f1.5 Nokton would take it into Leica territory, in terms of quality. Again, the new 50mm f1.5 II is all-metal construction lens, but with a smooth focusing ring (the 50mm f1.5 has a knurled ring). An interesting difference is that the new version is available in six different variations! A choice of Single or Multi-coated and three colour schemes (Black, Silver and Black Nickel)

The new redesigned compact Ultron Vintage Line 28mm F2.0 Aspherical VM Type II features improved aspherical optical performance utilising10 lens elements in 7 groups. The new lens is sharper, smaller, lighter and available in three classic lens style.

The lens accepts the optional aluminium LH-4N and LH-12 lens hoods. Sold separately
