This lens is specially designed for manual focusing coupled precisely with the camera?s optical rangefinder system. Compared with a single lens reflex camera finder, the rangefinder focusing system focuses wide angle lenses with much more precision, enabling the photographer to use the shallow depth of focus offered by the large maximum aperture with peace of mind. The lens couples with the camera?s rangefinder from infinity down to 0.70m (differs depending on the camera) and features a helicoid that enable the lens to focus down to a minimum focus distance of 0.50m. The feature really shows its strengths when shooting using a camera with live view functionality. The included bayonet type rectangular hood is stylish, effective at shielding stray light and can be easily attached to and removed from the lens.

This upgraded version, with respect to the phenomenon caused by spherical aberrations where the focus position shifts when stopping the aperture down to capture an image after focusing with live view at maximum aperture, this shift in the image plane caused by changing the aperture is now almost entirely eliminated.

The NOKTON Vintage Line 35mm F1.5 Aspherical is a regular use lens for rangefinder cameras with a large aperture. Still, the filter diameter is kept to φ39mm and the overall length of the product is short at 36mm, giving it a tight, compact portability.

The lens barrel, with a modern classic design, is equipped with a 6-group, 9-element optical system featuring two double-sided aspheric lenses, which provide excellent optical performance at all apertures.

The minimum focusing distance is 0.5m, shorter than the 0.7m linked to the rangefinder (depending on the camera to which it is attached).

Two styles are available: First, there is Type I, made of aluminum and weighing 188g having both light weight and maximum portability. Also offered is Type II, made of brass and weighing 284g for a sturdy and substantial feeling, with a finish choice of either black or silver.

The optional hoods LH-4N with slits and LH-12 classic style are both compatible.

With two aspherical surfaces, the new 50mm f1.5 II from Voigtlander could be one of their best 50mm lenses yet! An apparent vast improvement over the original 50mm f1.5 Nokton would take it into Leica territory, in terms of quality. Again, the new 50mm f1.5 II is all-metal construction lens, but with a smooth focusing ring (the 50mm f1.5 has a knurled ring). An interesting difference is that the new version is available in six different variations! A choice of Single or Multi-coated and three colour schemes (Black, Silver and Black Nickel)

The HELIAR classic 50mm F1.5 VM is finished to show classical depiction at the wide open apertures by the aberrations that intentionally remained. The Heliar Classic is measured by a different yard stick. Heliar images are about classic style.

This image effect is painterly or even "more fluffy" than images made by modern lenses. By leaving some factors of aberration, both coma and spherical, we create a different image flavor than contemporary images made in digital post-processing. Not every subject demands maximum sharpness and saturation, some require a more delicate touch. Our optical formula is like a hand reaching back in time.

This look cannot be obtained with modern lenses that over correct for various aberrations. In addition to the superior bokeh the remaining frame flare and single coated finish provide an extremely unique palette at wide open aperture settings.

The COLOR SKOPAR 50mm F2.2 is a manual focus standard lens optimized for full size VM mount sensors. Cosina lens designers succeeded in reducing the exterior lens barrel length to only 30mm, despite this being a 50mm F2.2 standard lens.

High performance optics using 7 elements in 6 groups including 3 elements of anomalous partial dispersion glass achieve excellent optical performance even wide open at F2.2. It is possible to focus beyond the minimum rangefinder distance of 0.7 m and up to 0.5 m with the interlocking of the rangefinder. It is effective when shooting with a camera equipped with a live view function.

It comes with a compact, straight-type hood that is shaped so that it does not obstruct the rangefinder camera rangefinder window.
