Voigtlander APO-LANTHAR 35mm f/2 Aspherical for Sony E Mount - Second Hand

A sophisticated wide-angle prime, the E-mount APO-LANTHAR 35mm f/2 Aspherical from Voigtlander holds the elite distinction of being part of the APO-LANTHAR series of optically refined, apochromatic lenses. A series of anomalous partial dispersion and aspherical elements help to suppress virtually all aberrations for especially high sharpness and colour accuracy, and a floating elements system maintains consistent performance throughout the focusing range. A manual focus design is employed, along with a high precision helicoid, for refined focusing control and a Selective Aperture Control System allows the manual aperture ring to be de-clicked for smooth, silent exposure adjustment to suit filmmaking applications. Additionally, a 12-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality. This lens is compatible with E-mount camera features, including Exif data transfer, manual focus assist, auto lens correction, and image stabilisation (3-axis).

Wide-angle prime designed for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, however, can also be used with APS-C models where it will provide a 52.5mm equivalent focal length.

Bright f/2 maximum aperture benefits working in low-light conditions and also affords greater control over focus position for selective focus applications.

Using five partial dispersion elements, this lens has an apochromatic designation due to its ability to virtually eliminate colour fringing and chromatic aberrations in order to achieve higher clarity and colour fidelity.

Two aspherical elements are incorporated towards the front and the rear of the 11 element, nine groups construction, and help to limit spherical aberrations and distortions for improved sharpness and accurate rendering.

Floating elements system maintains consistently high image quality throughout the focusing range, from 13.78" to infinity.

Manual focus design is complemented by a high-accuracy all-metal helicoid that provides an ideal amount of torque for high-precision control.

A 12-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing out-of-focus quality when working with shallow depth of field techniques.

Selective Aperture Control System produces a stepless, de-clicked aperture ring, which provides silent and smooth exposure adjustment that is well-suited for video application. The aperture ring can also be configured to utilise traditional 1/3-stop clicks for more intuitive tactile control over exposure settings.

Contacts transfer all Exif data between the camera and lens in order to permit full use of camera functions, including focus magnification, image stabilisation (3-axis), and lens corrections.
