Review Summary

Image quality in terms of resolution, subtlety of color and micro-contrast is outstanding even wide open, edge to edge, corner to corner. Manual focusing is smooth and natural. Achieving accurate focus is relatively quick thanks to the automatic activation of focus magnification whenever the focus ring is moved. The electronic connection with the body allows all the important information to be stored in EXIF, which allows the body to optimize in-body image stabilization and image adjustments, and Lightroom to automatically use and display this information. Achieving excellent images takes a little practice but it quickly becomes a great experience and the results are amazing.

A brilliant and in all facets extraordinary imaging performance
Another masterpiece from the APO-Lanthar series offers the highest resolution and best color correction. It can be called our most powerful 35mm lens of all time.
The optical construction consists of 9 groups with 11 lens elements, two of which are double-sided aspherical elements, five with abnormal partial dispersion and floating elements for optimal focusing performance. An excellent multiple coating and the apochromatic color correction round off the technically complex structure. The 12 aperture blades form a round opening at F2.0, F2.8, F5.6 and F16, which enables a circular and also very balanced bokeh from a point light source.
The objective was a brilliant and in all facets extraordinary imaging performance and this could be achieved without compromise!
Our Voigtlander 35mm / 1: 2.0 APO-Lanthar aspherical VM is optimized for Leica M cameras, but can also be used on Fuji X cameras and Nikon Z models. Our corresponding Nah + system adapters are ideal for this.
In the field of wide-angle focal lengths, the Voigtlander 35mm / 1: 2.0 APO-Lanthar aspherical sets a new benchmark in our range and offers a variety of photographic options for the discerning user. The extraordinary panel construction also allows a high degree of creative freedom and promises a very individual look.
A lens hood is optionally available for the VM version (LH-13)
