Voigtländer - precision and tradition since 1756.
The Voigtländer APO-LANTHAR 50 mm F3.5 VM Lens is a high performance, manual standard lens designed specifically for full frame VM mount sensors. It offers exceptional optical performance in a classic design.

The lens construction consists of eight elements in six groups, four of which are made of anomalous partial dispersion glass to achieve uncompromising, exceptional resolution and contrast rendition. The imaging performance is impressive with a sharp image from the edges to the center of the image, across all aperture stops.

Thanks to the apochromatic design, chromatic aberrations and other imaging errors are almost completely eliminated. This design ensures precise colour rendition and minimizes colour fringing even with high-contrast subjects. The result is outstanding image quality that meets the high demands of discerning photographers. The excellent performance combined with a classic, elegant design makes the APO-LANTHAR 50 mm F3.5 VM an ideal choice for anyone who appreciates both optical perfection and aesthetic beauty.

The APO-LANTHAR 50 mm F3.5 VM is available in two versions (Type I and Type II), each with two variants:

Type I interprets the design of classic rangefinder lenses from the middle of the last century and is available in black/silver (2-tone) and matt black. The tube of the black/silver version consists of a material mix of brass and aluminum with a weight of 245 g, while the body of the matt black version is made entirely of aluminum (weight only 150 g). The filter diameter is 34 mm and the close-up limit is 45 cm.

Type II comes in a more modern, yet classic look. There is a silver version, made of brass and aluminum with a weight of 250 g, and a black version in which some components of the tube are made of aluminum (weight 175 g). In contrast to Type I, the filter diameter is 39 mm and the close-up limit is 35 cm.

A matching colored lens hood is included in the scope of delivery, as well as a black front cover. The Voigtländer APO-LANTHAR 50 mm F3.5 VM is optimized for both film and digital VM rangefinder cameras and can of course also be used on mirrorless digital cameras using an adapter.

Leica SL3-P: First Impressions, Behind the Scenes at Leica & Our Take

The new Leica SL3-P isn’t just meant to fill the gap between the Leica SL3 and the SL3-S. It’s intended to be the new flagship of the SL system, offering the most balanced combination possible of image quality, speed, autofocus, video, and usability. We spent two days at the launch event at Leitz Park in Wetzlar, where we were able to test the Leica SL3-P in real-world conditions and explore what lies behind the “all that matters” philosophy.
