    50 mm for a natural and versatile look

    With a 50 mm focal length, the APO-Lanthar Type I offers a balanced perspective that closely resembles natural vision. Its 45.7° angle of view makes this standard lens highly versatile—from portraits and photojournalism to street, travel, and everyday photography.

    Apochromatic optics for accurate colors and high sharpness

    The optical design consists of eight lenses in six groups, including four elements made of anomalous partial dispersion glass. The apochromatic design reduces chromatic aberrations and color fringing, enabling precise color reproduction, high contrast, and uniform sharpness all the way to the edges of the image.

    Classic Type I design in two versions

    The Type I draws inspiration from the design of classic rangefinder lenses and is available in black/silver and matte black. The black/silver version combines brass and aluminum and weighs 245 g, while the matte black aluminum version remains particularly lightweight at 150 g. Both versions have a filter diameter of 34 mm.

    Precise manual focus for analog and digital photography

    The manual rangefinder focusing system allows for direct and controlled focusing. The rangefinder coupling extends to 0.7 m; the actual minimum focusing distance of the Type I is 0.45 m. The lens is optimized for analog and digital VM-mount cameras and can also be used with mirrorless digital cameras when paired with the appropriate adapters.
