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 Voigtlander 50mm f3.5 APO-LANTHAR Type II 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 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 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.
The Voigtlander 21mm f3.5 VM ASPH Vintage Line Color-Skopar Type II Lens is a newly designed compact super wide lens.
