    50 mm for a natural and versatile look

    With a 50 mm focal length, the APO-Lanthar Type II offers a balanced perspective and a 45.7° angle of view. This makes the standard lens a versatile choice for portraits, photojournalism, street photography, travel photography, and everyday photography. The classic focal length combines a natural look with flexible applications.

    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, ensuring accurate color reproduction, high contrast, and uniform sharpness from the center of the image to the edges.

    Type II Design in Silver and Black

    The Type II combines a modern look with classic design elements. The silver version is made of brass and aluminum and weighs 250 g. In the black version, parts of the tube are made of aluminum, reducing the weight to 175 g. Both versions feature a filter diameter of 39 mm and a high-quality metal housing.

    Precise focus down to 0.35 meters

    The manual rangefinder focusing system allows for direct and controlled focusing. Using the rangefinder coupling, you can focus at distances as close as 0.7 m, while the actual minimum focusing distance of the Type II is just 0.35 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.
