You may ask why this lens has been announced - when Voigtlander already have a 50mm f1.1. The 50mm f1.2 is a brand new lens design, with a similar specification to the exceedingly popular 40mm f1.2 VM lens.

This lens features two aspherical elements & a 12 aperture blade diaphragm - allowing exceptional performance from F22 all the way to wide open.

The 50mm f1.2 is designed for use with both digital and film photography and is equipped with a rangefinder coupling cam. The minimum close focus distance of this lens is 70cm.

Both the LH-8 and LH-10 lens hoods can be used with this lens. The LH-10 is a brand new lens hood designed for this lens, though you can also use the more compact LH-8.

The Voigtlander 50mm f3.5 APO-LANTHAR Type I is an extremely high performance manual focus standard lens optimized for full frame VM mount cameras. The apochromatic design thoroughly eliminates chromatic aberration on axis and other aberrations, while pursuing ultimate performance in terms of resolution and contrast reproduction. While adopting a maximum aperture of F3.5, the lens is composed of eight elements in six groups, four of which are made of anomalous partial dispersion glass to achieve uncompromising optical performance.

The lens combines ultimate optical performance with easy handling and classic vintage rangefinder lens styling. As a tribute to classic rangefinder lenses that appeared in the mid 20th century, the more expensive vintage style straight slot screw heads were chosen instead of less expensive modern Phillips head.

Equipped with a high precision rangefinder linked mechanism, and the silky feel of the all metal helicoid allowing the photographer to experience the true joy of focusing using a traditional rangefinder. The minimum focusing distance of the Type I is 0.45m. The rangefinder close focus is 0.7m (depending upon camera capability), which is linked to the rangefinder. A mechanism is provided to recognize the junction point of the rangefinder linked range by a clicking sensation during focusing operation.

The filter diameter is a retro inspired φ34mm. Two versions of Type I are available: a two tone black paint and chrome model with a heavy feel using brass materials (body weight: 245g) and a lightweight model with a matte black paint and aluminium construction (body weight: 150g). Each version includes a metal hood and a metal cap with the same finish as the lens body.

As a tribute to classic rangefinder lenses that appeared in the mid 20th century, the more expensive vintage style straight slot screw heads were chosen instead of less expensive modern Phillips head.

Equipped with a high precision rangefinder controlled mechanism, and the silky feel of the all metal helicoid allowing the photographer to experience the true joy of focusing using a traditional rangefinder. The minimum focusing distance of the Type II is 0.35m by adopting a helicoid with a lens rotation angle of 300 degrees, which is rangefinder coupled as close as 0.7m (depending upon camera capability).

A mechanism is provided to recognize the junction point of the rangefinder linked range by a clicking sensation during focusing operation. The Type II filter size is φ39mm, a popular filter size for rangefinder cameras. Two versions of Type II are available: a silver version with a heavy feel using brass materials (body weight: 250 g) and a black painted model with a lighter weight by using aluminium materials in some parts (body weight: 175 g). The silver model has a metal hood in the same color as the main body and a black metal cap with a pear finish, while the black model has a black paint in the same color as the lens body.

The silver model has a metal hood in the same color as the main body and a black metal cap with a pear finish, while the black model has a black paint in the same color as the lens body.

The overall length of the product from the mount surface is limited to a short 14mm, the main body weight is only 99g, and it boasts the mobility of a snap shooter, which is a characteristic of rangefinder cameras. It features a simple lens configuration of 6 elements in 4 groups, including one double-sided aspherical lens and three elements of anomalous partial dispersion glass, producing outstanding images.

The accessory metal hood is designed to be integrated with the aperture control ring of the lens and is equipped with an aperture indicator line when mounted. To avoid increasing the overall length of the lens when used with this hood, a special thin frame filter is also included, with a thickness of 1.1 mm from the lens filter thread. The lens cap is machined and the hood cap is made of deep drawn metal. In addition to the beautiful exterior design of the lens itself, these tasteful accessories provide not only photographic pleasure but also the pride of ownership.

The minimum focusing distance is 0.7m. The lens has a covered focusing helical not seen in vintage lenses with this style of rotating helicoid and is designed so that the helicoid is
not exposed to the outer lens barrel even when shooting at the minimum distance, making it resistant to dust and other external environment conditions. The focus lever is equipped with an infinity position lock mechanism like vintage lenses, which is useful when operating the aperture ring or attaching and detaching the lens.

Note: The black finish mount will not be recognized when used with a camera equipped with a system that reads 6-bit encoding. Set lens detection to OFF.

Main Features:

• Advanced cutting edge optics for modern sharp images
• Very small lightweight 99g lens
• Retro style reminiscent of vintage lenses
• Compact design with a total length of only 14mm.
• All metal lens barrel for high rigidity and durability
• Manual focus for reliable focusing operation
• Built in rangefinder focusing (minimum distance of 0.7m)
• Bayonet VM mount
