## Long description

The Voigtländer 50 mm F3.5 APO-LANTHAR Type I is a manual-focus prime lens designed for VM-mount rangefinder and mirrorless cameras. With an optical construction of 8 elements in 6 groups, including anomalous partial dispersion glass, this compact standard lens delivers high resolution and consistent contrast across the frame. The lens offers a maximum aperture of F3.5, a closest focusing distance of 0.45 m and a 34 mm filter thread, all housed in a classic metal barrel available in matt black or a black/silver two-tone finish.
Advantages
The APO-LANTHAR optical design minimizes chromatic aberration and improves edge-to-edge sharpness by using special glass elements, producing detailed images at all apertures. Its compact size and metal construction provide a balance of portability and durability for everyday use. The rangefinder-style optical rendering and compact form factor make it suitable for photographers who need a discreet, high-resolution 50 mm focal length.
Suitable for
Portrait photography where natural perspective and sharp detail are required

How to use
Attach the lens to a compatible VM-mount camera body and set focus manually using the focus ring. Compose and focus using the camera's rangefinder patch or live view magnification for precise manual focusing. Select aperture according to depth-of-field needs; the lens is optimized for sharpness across the aperture range. Use the 34 mm filter thread to mount protective or creative filters if required. For closer subjects, move the camera to achieve the minimum focus distance of 0.45 m.
Usage recommendations
For best image quality, use apertures around mid-range when maximum edge-to-edge sharpness is desired, and stop down as needed for increased depth of field. The compact body suits street and travel use; consider carrying a protective cloth or small case to prevent scratches on the metal finish. When using on digital bodies, check for accurate focus calibration in-camera or via rangefinder alignment for critical work.
