A bright normal-length prime for Nikon Z-mount full-frame camera systems, the APO-LANTHAR 35mm f/2 Aspherical II Lens from Voigtlander offers a classic perspective with the precise control of manual focus. Its bright f/2 maximum aperture allows this lens to excel in unfavorable lighting conditions and helps to create flattering bokeh in your images. Changes to this second iteration lens model include an improved 10.6" minimum focusing distance, an increased 250° focus ring rotation, and an updated reversible bayonet lens hood. Electronic contacts transfer all Exif data between the camera and lens in order to permit full use of camera functions, including focus magnification, image stabilization (3-axis), and lens corrections.
Optical Design Advantages
- A 12-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing out-of-focus quality when working with a shallow depth of field.
- Floating elements system maintains consistently high image quality throughout the focusing range, from 10.6" to infinity.
- Using five partial dispersion elements, this lens has an apochromatic designation due to its ability to virtually eliminate color fringing and chromatic aberrations in order to achieve higher clarity and color fidelity.
- Two aspherical elements are incorporated in the 11-element, nine-group construction, and help to limit spherical aberrations and distortions for improved sharpness and accurate rendering.
