The silver APO-LANTHAR 50mm f/3.5 Type II VM Lens by Voigtlander is a high-performance, manual-focus standard-length prime lens designed to enhance the power of M-mount rangefinders. Rangefinders are known for being light, compact, and discrete systems with quiet shutters and very sharp lenses.

This Voigtlander lens sports a modern look and holds the elite distinction of being part of the APO-LANTHAR series of optically refined, apochromatic lenses consisting of eight lens elements in six groups, four of which are made of anomalous partial dispersion glass to achieve uncompromising, exceptional resolution and contrast rendition. It includes a series of anomalous partial dispersion and aspherical elements that help to suppress virtually all aberrations for especially high sharpness and color accuracy. Additionally, the all-metal lens is equipped with a high-precision, rangefinder-linked mechanism that provides the user with the traditional manual focusing experience.

Type II Highlights
  • Apochromatic design helps eliminate almost all chromatic aberrations and imaging errors. 
  • Design ensures precise color reproduction and minimizes color fringing even with high-contrast subjects.
  • Eight elements in six groups, four of which are made of anomalous partial-dispersion glass to achieve uncompromising optical performance.
  • Manual focus design with a high-accuracy, all-metal helicoid for high-precision control.
  • A mechanism is provided to recognize the junction point of the rangefinder-linked range by a clicking sensation during the focusing operation.
  • Minimum focusing distance 13.8".
  • The brass and aluminum build provides the user with a heavy-body feel.
  • Optimized for film and digital M-mount rangefinder cameras and mirrorless cameras.
