Voigtlander 50mm f/3.5 Apo-Lanthar VM Type I Limited Edition Lens Navy Summary
To commemorate a key milestone for Voigtlander, the brand has unveiled a trio of beautifully unique painted 50mm prime lenses, including this Voigtländer 50mm f/3.5 Apo-Lanthar VM Type I Limited Edition Lens in Navy. Limited to just 250 units, this elegant blue variant offers a rare opportunity for photographers and collectors to celebrate Voigtländer’s reputation for optical excellence and retro designs. Each lens includes premium touches, such as a heavy brass knurled lens hood, an engraved limited edition number, and specially made accessories for this milestone.
The release celebrates 25 years of Cosina-produced Voigtlander lenses, a testament to the brand’s continued innovation in optical design. The 50mm f/3.5 Apo-Lanthar is a manual focus lens for rangefinder cameras, designed with apochromatic optics that virtually eliminate chromatic and other aberrations, ensuring unmatched clarity and sharpness from near to far.
This lens excels at resolving the incredibly high resolutions found in modern digital rangefinder cameras, such as the Leica M11 Camera Glossy Black and other models exceeding 60 megapixels. Its precise rangefinder-linked focusing system, coupled with an all-metal helicoid, offers a smooth and tactile shooting experience, complemented by a close focusing distance of 0.45m, or 0.7m for rangefinder coupling.
Celebrate a legacy with the Voigtländer 50mm f/3.5 Apo-Lanthar VM Type I Limited Edition Lens in Navy. Its timeless design and advanced optical performance make it a fitting tribute to Voigtländer’s heritage as the world’s oldest photography brand.
