    Voigtländer’s most powerful 28mm

    The APO-Lanthar 28mm f/2 sets new standards within Voigtländer’s wide-angle lenses. It offers the highest resolution and color correction that Voigtländer has achieved to date in this focal length. Optimized for digital full-frame cameras with VM mount, it is equally suitable for analog Leica M models and delivers uncompromising image quality in both worlds.

    Apochromatic correction and sophisticated optics

    The optical construction combines apochromatic color correction with two double-sided aspherical elements, five elements with anomalous partial dispersion, and a floating mechanism. Chromatic aberrations are effectively eliminated, contrast edges remain clean, and colors neutral. The multi-coating reduces flare and reflections, ensuring clear, stable image reproduction under various lighting conditions.

    High speed, harmonious bokeh, and consistent performance

    With a speed of f/2, the lens offers sufficient reserves for available-light situations without compromising imaging performance. The 12 nearly circular aperture blades create a harmonious bokeh, especially with point light sources. Thanks to the floating element, optical performance remains consistently high even at close range.

    Compact, precise, and consistently designed for Leica M

    With a length of only 50mm and a weight of 265g, the APO-Lanthar remains compact and well-balanced on the Leica M. The precise rangefinder mechanism and the finely tuned full-metal helicoid ring enable an exact and pleasantly manual focusing experience. The minimum focusing distance is 0.7m via the rangefinder and can be extended to 0.5m in manual mode. A specially developed metal lens hood is included and effectively reduces flare without vignetting.
