Voigtländer APO-Lanthar 50mm / 3.5 – Precision Manual-Focus Prime for Full-Frame

The Voigtländer APO-Lanthar 50mm / 3.5 is a high-performance fixed-focal-length lens designed for full-frame digital cameras with Leica M-mount. It combines a classic double-Gauss optical design with modern multi-coating for excellent image quality across a wide range of shooting conditions.

• Achromatic correction virtually eliminates chromatic aberration for sharp, high-contrast images from edge to edge
• F/3.5 maximum aperture delivers a shallow depth of field and strong subject separation in available light
• Black matte finish reduces flare and ghosting in high-contrast lighting scenarios
• 34 mm filter thread accepts standard screw-on filters for polarisation or ND exposure control

Das zeichnet das Voigtländer APO-Lanthar 50mm / 3.5 aus

Unlike many modern lenses that prioritise zoom versatility, this prime is engineered for a single purpose: delivering outstanding optical performance at 50mm. The APO (Apochromatic) design brings three wavelengths of light into focus simultaneously, a level of correction typically found in much more expensive optics. The mechanical build quality — solid brass barrel, smooth focus ring, and secure M-mount bayonet — ensures reliable operation in the field.

Ideal für...

Street photographers and documentary shooters who value a compact, discreet full-frame prime with a natural 50mm perspective. Also suited for studio work where controlled depth of field and consistent sharpness are required, as well as enthusiasts who appreciate the tactile experience of a manual-focus lens with modern optical corrections.

Anwendung von Voigtländer APO-Lanthar 50mm / 3.5

Mount the lens on any digital camera with a Leica M-mount and full-frame sensor. Focus manually using the smooth focus ring; the aperture is preset at F/3.5 with no iris control. Use a 34 mm screw-on filter when additional exposure control or glare reduction is needed. The lens performs well in daylight, overcast conditions, and indoor settings with adequate ambient light.
