Voigtlander 35mm f2 APO-Lanthar Aspherical II Lens for Nikon Z Mount Cameras

The 35mm F2 Apo-Lanthar Aspherical is an interchangeable lens exclusively for full-frame (Nikon FX format) mirrorless cameras with Nikon Z mount.

The APO LANTHAR 35mm F2 Aspherical II is an extremely high performance manual focus semi wide angle lens that covers full frame. The apochromatic design thoroughly eliminates any aberration on axis including chromatic aberration, while pursuing ultimate performance in terms of resolution and contrast reproducibility. (* to MTF chart). Constructed with 11 elements in 9 groups. It has five abnormal partial dispersion elements, two elements each with two aspherical surfaces, and floating elements for sharper close ups.

The 35mm APO LANTHAR boasts a performance among the sharpest Voigtländer lenses ever produced with its ability to produce outstanding images from a minimum focusing distance of 0. 27 m to infinity without aberrations.

The APO LANTHAR 35mm F2 Aspherical II has a unified exterior design as part of the Nikon Z mount family covering full frame lenses . It also comes with a
bayonet type metal hood that can be reverse mounted for portability. In addition, the 12 aperture blades are specially designed to be circular not only at the maximum aperture of F2, but also at F2.8 and F5.6. The focus ring rotation angle has been increased to 250° to improve the accuracy of focusing operation at long distances.

When using a camera supporting the transfer of lens data, electronic contacts on the lens allow Exif data, in-body image stabilisation (3 axes) & three types of focusing support (changing the focus point frame colour, focusing by peaking & focusing with the enlargement button)

The new versions feature:
