## Long description

Voigtlander 50 mm F3.5 APO-LANTHAR Type II (VM mount) is a manual-focus standard prime lens engineered for full-frame VM rangefinder sensors and mirrorless cameras via adapter. The optical design uses eight elements in six groups, including four elements made from anomalous partial dispersion glass to correct chromatic aberration and deliver high resolution and contrast across the frame. The compact metal barrel accepts 39 mm filters and provides a minimum focus distance of 0.35 m, making it suitable for portraits, landscapes and close-detail work while keeping a classic, compact appearance.
Advantages
The APO-LANTHAR optical formula provides strong edge-to-edge sharpness and reduced chromatic aberration, producing neutral color rendition and high micro-contrast. The compact, precision metal construction offers reliable manual operation, accurate focusing and a tactile aperture control range from f/3.5 to f/22. A matching lens hood and front cap are included for protection and flare control. Type II updates the original design with a 39 mm filter thread and a 0.35 m close-focus capability while retaining the classic Voigtlander aesthetic.
Suitable for
Environmental and studio portraiture where compact rangefinder-style optics are preferred
Landscape and travel photography requiring high resolution and low weight
Detail, product and still-life shots with close-focus capability to 0.35 m
Use on full-frame VM mount rangefinders or mirrorless bodies with an adapter
Key specifications

Maximum aperture: f/3.5; aperture range: f/3.5–f/22
Optical construction: 8 elements in 6 groups, including anomalous partial dispersion glass elements
Minimum focus distance: 0.35 m

Filter thread diameter: 39 mm
Construction: compact metal body, black finish; Type II mechanical updates compared to earlier version
How to use
Attach the lens to a compatible VM mount camera or fit it to a mirrorless body using the appropriate adapter. Set the camera to manual or rangefinder focusing mode and use the lens focus ring to achieve precise focus; focus scale and distance markings aid close-up work at 0.35 m. Select the desired aperture between f/3.5 and f/22 on the aperture ring to control depth of field and exposure. Use the included lens hood to reduce stray light and protect the front element; the metal construction supports steady handheld operation.
Usage recommendations
For best sharpness and minimal vignetting, stop down one to two stops from maximum aperture when high edge-to-edge resolution is required. Use the lens at its native VM flange distance on rangefinder bodies for optimal mechanical compatibility; when using an adapter on mirrorless cameras, confirm infinity focus prior to critical shooting. Clean the 39 mm filter and front element regularly to maintain contrast, and store the lens with provided caps and hood when not in use.
