PORTRAIT HELIAR 75mm F1.8 E-mount
Portrait Heliar is Voigtländer's first creatively adjustable unique portraiture lens that marks a significant step in the heritage of its timeless Heliar design. Its most notable feature is a dedicated spherical-aberration control ring that lets photographers acheive unprecendented levels of out-of-focus effects. Dial between “under” for soft, dreamy bokeh with gentle glow, slight vignetting and “over” for crisp, contrasty rendering - something you can never do either in post or with multiple lens. Keeping all other things signature Voigtländer with design, build and optical performance, this one is sure going to help realize dreams for a lot of lucky Sony E-mount shooters. A highly mystical lens!

Voigtländer PORTRAIT HELIAR 75mm F1.8 Overview
The PORTRAIT HELIAR 75mm F1.8 is Voigtländer's first lens with controllable spherical aberration giving photographers arbitrary control of under- and over-correction of spherical aberration to produce a wide variety of bokeh expressions.
For Sony E-mount
The lens has electronic contacts to ensure that lens usage data is included in the Exif data of captured images. Furthermore, the built-in distance encoder enables support for 5-axis image stabilization on the body side. Other features include being able to magnify the finder display by operating the focus ring.
Optimized optical design
Provides an imaging circle that covers the 35 mm full frame format and utilizes an optical design optimized for Sony E-mount sensors. High resolution is maintained up to the image periphery and color shifts are well controlled.
9-blade aperture diaphragm for beautiful bokeh
The aperture diaphragm is configured with 9 aperture blades to make the aperture opening as circular as possible. Point light sources have well-rounded out-of-focus areas.
Manual focus for reliable focus operation
Adopting a full-metal helicoid unit processed and adjusted with high precision and high-quality grease that produces an appropriate torque, focusing with a smooth operation feeling is realized. It enables fine focus adjustment.
Spherical aberration control
The spherical aberration control ring provides under or over corrected spherical aberration, producing an unprecedented range of out-of-focus effects visible in the viewfinder.
