Voigtlander APO-LANTHAR 35mm f/2 ASPH for Leica M Mount

As a quasi-wide-angle lens with the highest performance in Voigtlander history, it is an extremely high-performance lens optimized for a full-size M mount sensor. The apochromat design, which makes the RGB axial chromatic aberration that composes the three primary colors of light as close to zero as possible, thoroughly eliminates various aberrations and pursues the ultimate performance in terms of resolution and contrast reproducibility.

Main features:
? Apochromat design
We thoroughly eliminate various aberrations such as axial chromatic aberration, and pursue the ultimate performance in terms of resolution and contrast reproducibility.

? Of the optical glass that leads to high performance and
the lens configuration of 11 elements in 9 groups of the mechanical part , 5 abnormally dispersed glass and 2 double-sided aspherical lenses are used, and a floating mechanism is also equipped.

? 12 diaphragms
that allow you to enjoy the expression of bokeh The diaphragm blades, which consist of 12 diaphragms, adopt a special shape that makes a circle not only in F2 but also in F2.8, F5.6, and F16. It is possible to draw using “ball blur” such as a point light source.

? The shortest shooting distance is 0.5m
. Interlocking with a rangefinder The shortest shooting distance exceeds 0.7m and can be focused up to 0.5m. You can use the live view function of the rangefinder-linked digital camera to get closer to the subject.

? Separately sold bayonet type hood A
beautiful metal bayonet type hood LH-13 with excellent durability is available as an option.

? Manual focus for reliable focus operation
By adopting an all-metal helicoid unit processed and adjusted with high precision and high-quality grease that produces an appropriate torque, focusing with a smooth operation feeling is realized. Allows for delicate focus adjustment.

? Bayonet type VM mount
A VM mount compatible with the Leica M mount is used for the lens mount.

? Equipped with a distance meter interlocking system The
high-precision rangefinder interlocking mechanism enables severe focusing near the maximum aperture.

? Full-size
image circle We have secured a generous image circle that supports full-frame 35mm format.
