Voigtlander APO-Lanthar Aspherical

No, this is a fully manual focus lens. It is designed for photographers who prefer tactile control and precision, making it an excellent match for the rangefinder experience.

The apochromatic design is engineered to bring three wavelengths of light into focus on the same plane. Practically, this means you will see virtually zero color fringing or chromatic aberration, resulting in exceptionally sharp, high-contrast images even when shooting wide open.

Yes, absolutely. The aperture ring is configurable, allowing you to switch between traditional clicked stops for stills and a stepless, smooth adjustment mode that is ideal for seamless exposure transitions while recording video.

Thanks to the rounded twelve-blade diaphragm, the out-of-focus areas in your images will appear soft and circular. This creates a smooth, pleasing background blur that separates your subject beautifully from the environment.

With a minimum focus distance of 500mm, it is not a macro lens. While it is versatile enough for street and environmental portraits, you will need to keep a bit of distance from your subject compared to lenses with closer focusing capabilities.

This lens features a Leica M mount. To use it on a mirrorless camera system, such as Sony E, Fujifilm X, or Nikon Z, you will need to purchase a separate third-party M-mount adapter.
