APO-LANTHAR 50mm F3.5 VM Limited

25th Anniversary Cosina Voigtländer Lens

Announcing APO-LANTHAR 50mm F3.5 Limited Edition VM mount lens
commemorating the 25th Anniversary of Cosina produced Voigtländer brand products

"Super high performance lens in a classic design"


Interchangeable lens for VM mount rangefinder cameras

Cosina's first product line under the Voigtländer brand were the BESSA L L39 mount film camera and its L39 interchangeable lenses,
the SUPER WIDE-HELIAR 15mm F4.5 and SNAPSHOT SKOPAR 25mm F4 introduced in February 1999

The APO-LANTHAR 50mm F3.5 25th Anniversary is a Limited Edition model in grey painted exterior.


Production quantity will be 250 lenses.
Based on the previously released APO-LANTHAR 50mm F3.5 Type I (two-tone), the black-finished focusing helical and hood have been changed to grey.
- The hood is made of heavy brass and knurled at the tip.
- The lens is engraved with a limited edition number.
Also included is a chrome-finished brass hood cap and a special lens rear cap made of brass-based all-metal parts.

A convenient lens carrying pouch is also included.


The APO-LANTHAR 50mm F3.5 Type I is an extremely high performance manual focus standard lens optimized for full size VM-mount sensors.
The apochromatic design thoroughly eliminates chromatic aberration on axis and other aberrations, while pursuing ultimate performance in terms of resolution and
contrast reproduction.
While adopting a maximum aperture of F3.5, the lens is composed of eight elements in six groups, four of which are made of anomalous partial-dispersion glass to
achieve uncompromising optical performance.

Equipped with a high-precision rangefinder-linked mechanism, and the silky feel of the all-metal helicoid allowing the photographer to experience
the true joy of focusing using a traditional rangefinder.
The minimum focusing distance of the Type I is 0.45m. The rangefinder close focus is 0.7m (depending upon camera capability), which is linked to the rangefinder.
A mechanism is provided to recognize the junction point of the rangefinder-linked range by a clicking sensation during focusing operation.
The filter diameter is a retro-inspired F34mm. As a tribute to classic rangefinder lenses that appeared in the mid-20th century, the more expensive vintage style
straight slot screw heads were chosen instead of less expensive modern Phillips head.

This lens can be attached to Sony E-mount, Fujifilm X-mount, and Nikon Z-mount digital cameras via our Voigtländer lens mount adapters.
