About the Voigtlander 35mm f/2 APO-Lanthar lens:
The Ultimate 35mm lens?
The Voigtlander 35mm f/2 is the fourth APO-Lanthar lens released for the Sony E-mount. Because it's not macro lens like the Voigtlander 65mm f/2 and 110mm f/2.5 Macro APO-Lanthar lenses, it's made very compact and weighs only 306 grams (M-mount) and 355 grams (E-mount).
Inheriting the apochromatic optical design, the Voigtlander 35/2 APO is highly corrected to eliminate (or minimize) longitudinal chromatic aberration.
The optical design consists of 11 elements in 9 groups with two (2) double sided aspherical elements, five (5) with anomalous partial dispersion and an integrated floating-focus system. (For both E and M-mount)
The Voigtlander 35mm f/2 APO-Lanthar has a nice balance between optical performance and compactness. It addition, the newly designed 12-aperture blade employs a special shape that becomes completely circular not only wide open, but also at f/2.8, f/5.6 and f/16.
Full Specifications:
- Diameter: 63mm (E-mount), 55.6mm (M-mount)
- Length: 67 mm (E-mount), 58mm (M-mount)
- Smaller aperture: f/16
- Angle of view: 63.6°
- Aperture clicks: 1/3 stop (E-mount), 1/2 stop (M-mount)
- Filter Thread: 49 mm
- Max. Magnification: 1:6.4
- Optical Design: 2 double sided aspherical elements, 5 anomalous partial dispersion
- Close Focusing Distance from the sensor: 0.35 m (E-mount), 0.5m (M-mount)
- Number of aperture blades: 12 (round at f/2, f/2.8, /5.6 and f/16)
- Elements/ Groups: 11/9
- Measured weight (no hood, no caps): 355g (E-mount), 305g (M-mount)
