The MACRO APO-LANTHAR 65mm f/2 Aspherical Lens by Voigtlander is an interchangeable lens for full-frame Nikon Z-mount mirrorless cameras. This is the third lens to bear the APO-LANTHAR name, following the APO-LANTHAR 50mm f/2 Aspherical and APO-LANTHAR 35mm f/2 Aspherical Z-mount lenses.

  • Apochromatic design eliminates chromatic aberrations
  • Designed exclusively for Nikon Z-mount cameras
  • Covers full-frame image circle
  • Data communication with the camera body through electronic contacts
  • Rigid and durable all-metal lens barrel
  • Manual focus for reliable fine focus
  • Floating Lens mechanism
  • Maximum magnification of 1:2 with a minimum focusing distance of 12.2"
  • 10-blade aperture diaphragm for beautiful bokeh
  • Includes dedicated screw-in lens hood
This lens is equipped with electronic contacts, which communicates data between the lens and the body. In addition to relaying Exif information and supporting in-body image stabilization on 3 axes, this lens has three types of focusing support functions: focusing by color changing of the focus point frame, peaking function focusing, and focusing with the enlargement button.
The optical performance of this 8-group, 10-element lens with an aspherical surface on both sides and six elements of abnormal partial-dispersion glass is the best in the history of Voigtländer. In addition to the large bokeh effect, which can be enjoyed with the large maximum f-stop for a macro lens, the lens also exhibits sharp image making performance from the maximum aperture. The floating lens mechanism enables extremely high-quality images of even distant subjects, beginning from a minimum focusing distance of only 0.31m for 1/2x magnification.

Undeniable

Just fantastic. Heavy, yes; but given it's capabilities and sheer image quality its easy to see why. I don't usually lean towards extremely sharp or clinical lenses, but this takes it to such a level that it's undeniable just how good the files look. Working on the RAWs is an absolute treat. You should, however, be well aware of what this lens is designed to do and what comes with that. The focus throw is extremely long and definitely geared towards being used for macro photography. Trying any sort of candid or split-second photography will prove challenging. But if you have time to really work a scene, or are shooting a static object/landscape working with this lens will be a great joy. The manual focus should be no issue in those cases; in fact, it's fun. Oh, and the build quality on this thing...just SUPERB; every moving part feels machined to perfection.

Exquisite lens.

The image quality is almost perfect. This lens doubles as a macro and as a portrait lens. I have only had it a few weeks but find myself reaching for it constantly. It is pretty chunky so probably won’t d as an everyday carry lens.
