Voigtländer APO-Lanthar Type II 3.5/50 mm silver, VM

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 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.

Type II comes in a more modern, yet classic look. There is a silver version, made of brass and aluminum with a weight of 250 g, and a black version in which some components of the tube are made of aluminum (weight 175 g). In contrast to Type I, the filter diameter is 39 mm and the close-up limit is 35 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.
