## Long description

Voigtländer 50 mm F3.5 APO-LANTHAR Type I is a manual-focus standard prime lens engineered for VM-mount rangefinder and mirrorless full-frame systems. The optical construction comprises eight elements in six groups, including anomalous partial dispersion glass in four elements to reduce chromatic aberration and deliver high resolution and contrast across the frame. The lens has a compact barrel (approx. 45 mm length), a minimum focusing distance of 0.45 m and a 34 mm filter thread. Available in two finishes, its classic rangefinder styling and apochromatic correction target users who need compact size with outstanding optical correction.
Advantages
The APO-LANTHAR optical design provides strong correction of longitudinal and lateral chromatic aberrations, resulting in neutral color rendering and improved edge-to-edge sharpness at all apertures. Its compact and lightweight construction makes it easy to carry on a rangefinder or mirrorless body while preserving mechanical durability through metal construction. Manual-focus operation allows for precise focus control, particularly useful for careful portrait and detail work.
Suitable for
Portrait photography on full-frame VM-mount cameras
Street and documentary photography where compact size and discreet operation are important
Close-up detail shots at the 0.45 m working distance
Studio work requiring high micro-contrast and accurate color rendition

How to use
Attach the lens to a compatible VM-mount camera body and ensure the mount is clean and aligned before mounting. Use the manual focus ring to set focus; focus peaking or magnified live view on mirrorless bodies can assist accurate focusing at f/3.5 and stopped-down apertures. Select aperture using the aperture ring to balance depth of field and sharpness—f/3.5 for subject separation, stopping down toward f/8–f/11 for maximum edge-to-edge sharpness. Use the 34 mm filter thread to add protective or creative filters if required.
Usage recommendations
For portraits, position the subject at a moderate distance and use the lens wide open or slightly stopped down to control background separation while benefiting from apochromatic correction. For street and travel work prefer the compact matte black version for lower weight; choose the black/silver variant where a traditional metal finish and additional heft are acceptable. When capturing fine details, use live view magnification to confirm focus and stop down to increase micro-contrast.
