    Our sharpest – for maximum image fidelity

    50 mm represents a natural perspective without distortion. The APO-Lanthar is aimed at photographers seeking uncompromising accuracy. Architecture, landscape, reproduction, and high-quality reportage benefit from the neutral rendering and extremely high detail resolution.

    Apochromatic correction – exact colors, clean edges

    Thanks to the apochromatic design, color fringing at high-contrast edges is effectively suppressed. Fine structures remain clearly defined, while colors appear precise and calm. This reduces post-processing and ensures image files with maximum purity.

    Sharpness and contrast right into the corners

    The optical construction is designed for consistent performance across the entire image field. Sharpness and contrast remain stable from the center to the corners – even at wide-open aperture. Ideal for large prints, high-resolution sensors, and detail-critical applications.

    Precise handling for Leica M

    The lens is balanced in construction and supports a controlled, deliberate way of working. Manual focusing allows for exact focus control, which is crucial especially for detail-critical subjects. A tool for photographers who prioritize image quality above all else.
