Voigtlander APO-LANTHAR Lens

Yes, this lens is designed specifically for the Nikon Z mount system and is fully compatible with both full-frame and APS-C (DX format) Nikon Z mirrorless cameras.

Yes, this lens features electronic contacts that allow it to communicate with your Nikon Z camera. This enables features like focus peaking, in-body image stabilization, and EXIF data recording.

The 35mm focal length is a classic 'storytelling' lens. It is wide enough for environmental portraits and landscapes, yet tight enough for street photography and everyday documentation, making it an incredibly versatile choice for a single-lens kit.

The APO-LANTHAR designation indicates an apochromatic design, which is engineered to bring three wavelengths of light into focus on the same plane. Practically, this means you will see virtually no color fringing or chromatic aberration, resulting in exceptionally sharp, high-contrast images.

With a minimum focus distance of 35 cm, you can get reasonably close to your subjects. While it is not a dedicated macro lens, it allows for intimate compositions and tight framing of details.

Yes, the 12-blade diaphragm is designed to create a nearly circular aperture opening. This results in exceptionally smooth, natural-looking background blur (bokeh) and soft transitions in out-of-focus areas, which is particularly pleasing for portraits.
