APO-LANTHAR 35mm F2 Aspheric M-mount

The new 35mm APO-Lanthar VM mount has the highest resolution and highest color correction of all Voigtländer 35mm VM lenses, optimized for both full frame VM digital or film cameras. As Voigtländer’s best performing VM 35mm wide angle lens ever, the new 35mm APO-Lanthar continues the high performance standard of Voigtländer ’s VM 50mm f2 APO-Lanthar. Lens design includes apochromatic color 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. Beautiful bokeh is enhanced with “circular bokeh” from the round apertures produced at F2, F2.8, F5.6 and F16 best for capturing point light sources. The versatile VM mount easily adapts to other popular lens mounts via Voigtländer close focus VM mount adapters to Sony E, Fuji FX-mount and Nikon Z-mount cameras.

As a quasi-wide-angle lens with the highest performance in Voigtlander history, it is an extremely high-performance lens optimized for a full-size M mount sensor. The apochromat design, which makes the on-axis chromatic aberration of RGB, which constitutes the three primary colors of light, as close to zero as possible, thoroughly eliminates various aberrations and pursues the ultimate performance in terms of resolution and contrast reproducibility. Main features:
