  • Bokeh redefined – creative control of spherical aberration

    With the PORTRAIT HELIAR 75mm F1.8, we present an exceptional, fast portrait lens for full-frame – exclusively for Nikon Z-Mount. It is a Voigtländer full-frame interchangeable lens equipped with a mechanism for targeted control of spherical aberration, thus opening up entirely new creative possibilities in image composition.

    A lens for expressive portrait photography

    The focus of development was the interplay of spherical aberration and bokeh. Under- and overcorrection can be precisely adjusted via a specially developed control ring – creating completely different bokeh characteristics:

    • Undercorrection: Soft focus with gentle halos, dreamily creamy background bokeh
    • Overcorrection: Clearly defined focal point with distinctive, bubble-like bokeh

    What was long considered a flaw in classical optics is here deliberately used as a creative means of expression. The PORTRAIT HELIAR was designed from the ground up to make these characteristics creatively usable.

    Classic construction, modern innovation

    Despite its compact Heliar construction with 6 lenses in 3 groups, the lens achieves an impressive aperture of F1.8. Changes in spherical aberration are usually accompanied by focus shifts – Voigtländer addresses this effect with a sophisticated mechanism that adjusts the lens spacing synchronously with the position of the control ring, keeping the focus stable.

    A subtle, tactile marking on the control ring allows the set correction range to be felt – ideal for intuitive work.

    Precision you can feel

    The entirely metal-crafted lens impresses with its highest mechanical quality. The high-precision metal helicoid is specially greased and ensures silky-smooth, consistent focusing – even at open aperture and minimal depth of field.

    Seamless integration into modern camera systems

    Electronic contacts enable the transmission of Exif data and support for in-camera functions such as focus magnification and image stabilization (with compatible cameras). Mechanical aperture control is classically done via an aperture ring directly on the lens; 9 aperture blades ensure a particularly harmonious and aesthetic rendering of out-of-focus circles.
