  • Shape bokeh deliberately instead of leaving it to chance

    The Voigtländer PORTRAIT HELIAR 75 mm F1.8 was developed specifically for photographers who want to actively influence image character. At the heart of the lens is the innovative bokeh controller, which allows targeted adjustment of spherical aberration. This creates different bokeh effects—from soft, gentle blur to distinctive, bubble-like circles of light. Rather than correcting optical characteristics, the PORTRAIT HELIAR transforms them into a creative tool for expressive portraits and individual image styles.

    A lens with distinctive image character

    The optical construction based on the classic HELIAR principle with six elements in three groups was developed specifically for full-frame cameras with Sony E-Mount. Depending on the bokeh controller setting, not only the background blur changes, but the entire image rendering. While under-corrected settings produce a soft, atmospheric reproduction with gentle transitions, over-corrected settings deliver a precise plane of focus and characteristic circles of light in the background. The lens thus opens up creative possibilities that go far beyond classic portrait lenses.

    Precision down to the smallest detail

    Since changing the spherical aberration also shifts the plane of focus, the PORTRAIT HELIAR features a specially developed compensation mechanism. This automatically compensates for the focus shift and ensures precise focusing at every bokeh controller setting. The smoothly running metal helicoid, the grippy diamond knurling of the focusing ring and the mechanical aperture control convey the classic shooting experience of premium Voigtländer lenses. The nine aperture blades additionally support harmonious and natural-looking bokeh.

    Perfectly matched to Sony E-Mount

    The PORTRAIT HELIAR 75 mm F1.8 was developed exclusively for Sony E-Mount and is optimally matched to the sensors of modern full-frame cameras. Electronic contacts transmit Exif data, support the camera’s internal 5-axis image stabilizer and enable the use of modern focus aids such as viewfinder magnification. The lens thus combines the creative freedom of manual photography with the convenience of current Sony cameras and offers photographers an exceptional tool for distinctive portraits.
