The Voigtländer APO-LANTHAR 50mm 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 edges 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.
