The Voigtlander COLOR-SKOPAR 28mm F2.8 Aspherical VM is a high-performance wide-angle lens focused on light handling for rangefinder cameras. The latest optical design and aspherical lens elements maintain the same optical performance as our Voigtländer ULTRON Vintage Line 28mm F2 Aspherical VM, while keeping the maximum aperture at F2.8 to achieve extreme portability.
Type I has a nostalgic appearance thanks to the use of a rotating helicoid system, and a brass lens exterior. It is available in black paint and silver finishes.
All models have extremely compact exteriors, and the lenses combine the mobility of a rangefinder camera with the beautiful design of a snap-shooter. The optical system consists of 8 elements in 5 groups, including one double-sided aspheric lens. The lens has been optimized for use with rangefinder-linked digital and film cameras.
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.
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.
The NOKTON Vintage Line 28mm F1.5 Aspherical is a wide-angle lens that combines three elements: a
large aperture, compact dimensions, and outstanding optical performance. The lens is F1.5, very fast for a
28mm wide-angle lens, with compact 43mm filter diameter and 45.5mm length for portability.
The classically designed lens barrel is equipped with an 8-group, 10-element optical system featuring two
aspherical lens elements on both sides. This delivers outstanding optical performance even at an aperture of
f/1.5.
The minimum focusing distance is 0.5m by the use of a helicoid that can be moved out further from the 0.7m
distance (depending on the camera) linked to the rangefinder.
Two different styles will be offered: The Type I is made of aluminum and weighs 250g. The Type II is made of
brass and has a tactile quality due to its hefty weight of 330g. The Type I styling is reminiscent of modern
classic lenses of the 1970s in matte black paint or silver, while the Type II, reminds us of the famous lenses
of the 1960s and is available in both black paint and silver finishes. The optional lens hood with slits, LH-6
fits both Type I and Type II styles.
In addition to this, the Type II includes a focusing knob that offers a new manual focusing experience. The
accessory knob can be exchanged on the focusing lever by unscrewing the screw in the finger recess and
reattaching with new knob. The focusing knob is metal and focuses the lens at approximately 1 meter from
the lens mount when turned to the 6 o'clock position, allowing the user to zone focus by the angle of the
knob.
The optical design of this lens is optimized for use with rangefinder-coupled digital and film cameras. It also
may be used on mirrorless cameras through the use of a mount adapter, making it suitable for use on a
variety of platforms beyond rangefinder cameras.
