Voigtländer 50mm f/2 APO Lanthar Aspherical
Summary
The complex optical design consists of 8 groups with 10 lens elements, including two double-sided aspherical elements, two with abnormal partial dispersion and floating elements. Compared to the E-mount version, however, the VM version is noticeably shorter and over 20 percent lighter. Furthermore, the 12 aperture blades form a circular opening not only at F2.0 and F2.8, but also at F5.6, which enables circular bokeh from a point light source. In terms of feel, the new lens impresses with the usual high-quality workmanship and a brilliant imaging performance that is exceptional in all facets. Our Voigtländer 50 mm / 1:2.0 APO-Lanthar aspherical VM is optimized for M-mount cameras, but can also be used on Fuji X-mount cameras and Nikon Z-mount models. Our corresponding Nah+ system adapters are ideal for this purpose.
