Lens Voigtlander APO Lanthar 50 mm f/2.0 for Nikon Z

The Voigtlander APO Lanthar 50 mm f/2.0 is a lens eagerly awaited by many seekers of technical image excellence. The APO chromatic design provides incomparable sharpness and microcontrast - features that are particularly important for professional product photographers, filmmakers or landscape masters. Standard 50 mm The 50 mm is the classic, so-called standard focal length for cameras with 35 mm full-frame sensors. The field of view of the lens is close to that seen by the human eye and is 46.5°. It is one of the most frequently chosen focal lengths for portrait, product or reportage photography, guaranteeing an eye-pleasing perspective and fidelity of reproduction. APO Chromat Looking at the design of the APO Lanthar 50 mm, it is clear to see what the designers' main goal was - sharpness. The optical system is made up of 10 elements, of which only three are 'ordinary' optical glass. As many as five lenses are made of anomalous dispersion glass and two are aspherical lenses. The APO chromatic design may not be the brightest (f/2.0), nor does it guarantee the fairytale blurs known from lenses such as the Nokton 50 mm f/1.2, but it captures reality in a technically sharp manner, mercilessly cracking down on chromatic aberration. The unparalleled sharpness, contrast, microcontrast and colour reproduction are the result of the choice of lanthanum doped lenses, excellent precision manufacturing and many years of experience of the Japanese Cosina engineers. Light control The APO Lanthar's 50 mm aperture offers an adjustable range of f/2.0 - f/16, providing adequate freedom when working with depth of field for most applications. The aperture value can be adjusted in 1/3 EV increments or smoothly, which filmmakers will appreciate. The 12 specially designed aperture control blades allow a perfectly circular aperture for selected values of f/2.0, f/2.8 and f/16, giving out-of-focus subjects a pleasing round blur. Quality without compromise Voigtlander lenses are renowned for their superior build quality. The APO Lanthar is no different. The lens surprises with its compact size and simple, compact design. The entire barrel is made of metal, so the lens will maintain its accuracy for many years. The setting rings move smoothly, but with the necessary resistance for precise operation. Nikon Z mount The lens is equipped with a Nikon Z mount and is aimed at conscious professional photographers looking for a lens with outstanding optical quality. The lens' built-in electronics provide support for five-axis image stabilisation and a focus setting and confirmation system.
