Key Features
- Sony E-Mount Lens/Full-Frame Format
- Aperture Range: f/2 to f/22
- 1:2 Magnification Ratio
- Apochromatic Optical Design
With an apochromatic design, the MACRO APO-LANTHAR 65mm f/2 Aspherical Lens from Voigtlander will be able to deliver crisp, aberration-free imagery, even with the high resolutions of modern digital sensors. This lens is designed to work with full-frame Sony E-mount cameras where it offers users the ability to get close to their subjects thanks to the 1:2 magnification ratio afforded by the 12.2" minimum focus distance. It also boasts outstanding sharpness, helped in part by an aspherical element, meaning users will be able to resolve the finest details in their subjects. On top of this, the lens features a relatively fast f/2 aperture, which will enable the creation of images with a shallow depth of field as well as in low-light conditions.

Is this lens an internally focusing design or does the lens get physically longer as it is focused closer?
This lens does not have internal focus, therefore it extends.

1:1 for 24x36mm slides and negatives ...
1:1 for 24x36mm slides and negatives reproductions...How would You go about it ? With extention tubes? Makes sens ? (I do have the 65mm for reproducing Artworks but I consider it to replace my Olympus 80mm 1:1 with its zoom-tubus)
You can not get a 1:1 with this lens and Sony's extension tubes. I would suggest using the 90 mm Macro or look for a set of bellows. Not sure if any are made for the "E" mount.

question
How does the lens hood attach? Looking at the pictures of the lens I don't see any bayonets on the barrel for attaching one, but the description says a hood is included. Does it screw on the filter threads?
It screws onto the front of the lens via filter thread. Truth be told though, the front element is recessed a long way back from the end of the lens so a hood is mostly unnessacassary.

question
Does the lens transfer EXIF data to the camera?
Using a Sony a7 series camera all of your data is recorded as usual for each frame. In addition it is one of the sharpest macro lenses I have ever owned

question
What is the free working distance of this lens (e.g., distance from lens to object focused at 1:2 magnification)?I see that the minimum focusing distance is 12.2 , but that isn't my question.
Johnathan, I just measured the working distance of the Voighlander 65mmat its closest focus point and it is between 7 and 6.inches. Hopefully that meets your needs as everything about this lens is great especially the image quality. It really is as good as people have said. It is old school quality, the only thing. I would like to see changed is the magnification 1:1.5 is a little small for my. needs.Good luck
