Designed for full-frame rangefinder cameras, the Voigtländer APO-SKOPAR 75mm f/2.8 VM is a compact manual focus short telephoto lens that combines apochromatic optical correction with precise mechanical handling. Its newly designed optical system uses four anomalous dispersion elements within a seven-element, six-group construction to minimize axial chromatic aberration and support sharp, refined image quality. A compact 1.7" overall length, 6.7 oz weight, and 1.7" filter thread help maintain a portable profile, while the all-metal barrel and smooth helicoid focusing mechanism provide durable, controlled operation for rangefinder-coupled digital and film cameras.
APO Optical Design
An apochromatic design reduces axial chromatic aberration, helping maintain cleaner color separation and sharper subject detail when working with high-contrast edges.
Four Anomalous Dispersion Elements
The optical system uses anomalous dispersion glass in four elements to improve color correction, supporting refined rendering for portrait, travel, and detail-focused photography.
Full-Frame M-Mount Coverage
The VM mount and full-frame image circle support rangefinder-coupled digital and film M-mount cameras, making the lens suitable for traditional optical rangefinder operation.
Compact Short Telephoto Profile
A 1.7" overall length keeps the lens compact on camera, reducing viewfinder obstruction and supporting balanced handling for everyday carry.
Manual Focus Operation
The all-metal helicoid focus ring provides smooth, precise manual control, giving photographers direct tactile feedback for careful focusing through a coupled rangefinder.
Minimum Focus Distance
Close focusing to 2.3' allows tighter framing for portraits, objects, and detail studies while maintaining the working distance of a short telephoto lens.
10-Blade Aperture Diaphragm
The 10-blade diaphragm contributes to smooth out-of-focus rendering, useful when isolating subjects at wider apertures.
All-Metal Barrel Construction
A rigid all-metal exterior provides durable mechanical stability, supporting reliable use with frequent focusing and lens changes.
Adapter-Friendly Design
The lens can also be used on select mirrorless camera systems with an appropriate mount adapter, expanding its use beyond native M-mount bodies.
Included Dome-Shaped Hood
The dedicated metal hood has a minimal protrusion to help reduce interference with the image frame while adding practical front-element protection.
