Voigtlander 50mm f1.5 VM Mount Heliar Classic Lens

The Voigtlander COLOR-SKOPAR 28mm F2.8 Aspherical VM Type II 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 II has a modern style with a straight helicoid system. The lens exterior is made of aluminum to further reduce weight. It is available in black 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 75mm F1.9 ULTRON VM is a manual focus medium telephoto lens optimized for full-frame M mount sensors. The newly designed optics consists of 7 elements in 5 groups, 3 of which are made of cutting-edge partial-dispersion glass technology, which both suppresses chromatic aberration and ensures high image quality.

The balance between bokeh and resolution has been optimized by deliberately leaving a moderate amount of spherical aberration. While maintaining the clarity of the image areas which are in focus, the out-of-focus area produces a rich and large bokeh effect.

The new but simple construction allows all the elements to move in tandem, resulting in an overall length of only 54.1 mm, which is extremely compact for a 75mm lens. The lens thus offers excellent portability and also suppresses vignetting in the frame when used on rangefinder cameras. This lens is equipped with a high-precision rangefinder-coupled mechanism, and the full-metal helicoid ring provides a silky smooth luxurious focus.

The Single Coated version of the lens is finished in Gloss black paint

The minimum focusing distance is 0.5m, allowing extremely close focus, beyond even many rangefinder mechanically-linked focus-ranges.

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.

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.

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 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.
