Voigtlander 50mm f3.5 Apo-Lanthar VM Type II Black Paint

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 Voigtlander COLOR-SKOPAR 28mm F2.8 Aspherical L39 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 Voigtlander 21mm f3.5 VM ASPH Vintage Line Color-Skopar Type II Lens is a newly designed compact super wide lens.

Main Features 

¦ Classical styling reminiscent of the 1970s

¦ Element with aspherical surfaces ensures excellent performance from maximum aperture

¦ Extremely solid and durable all-metal barrel

¦ Manual focus for precise focusing

¦ Aperture mechanism with 10 aperture blades for beautiful bokeh

¦ Bayonet type VM-mount

The optional LH-11 lens hood manufactured from aluminium feature a bayonet mount for quick attachment / removal and crystal paint highly valued for its classical texture.

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 new redesigned compact Ultron Vintage Line 28mm F2.0 Aspherical VM Type II features improved aspherical optical performance utilising10 lens elements in 7 groups. The new lens is sharper, smaller, lighter and available in three classic lens style.

Type II lenses have a 1970?s Black Paint or Chrome Plating style on an all brass lens barrel with a fast focusing comfortable classic style focusing tab.

The lens accepts the optional aluminium LH-4N and LH-12 lens hoods. Sold separately

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 new 35mm Apo-Lanthar VM lens has the highest resolution and highest colour correction of all Voigtl?nder 35mm VM lenses, optimised for both full frame M digital & film cameras. As Voigtl?nder?s best performing VM 35mm wide angle lens ever

Lens design includes apochromatic colour correction, floating lens elements for better close focusing performance, two double sided aspherical elements, five abnormal partial dispersion elements and superior multi-coating for outstanding flare control. Optical performance is quite simply extraordinary.

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.

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 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.
