Our Macro APO-LANTHAR E is a top-class lens and was developed exclusively for Sony E-mount full-frame cameras. It achieves a maximum magnification of 1:1 without additional attachments.
The elaborate lens construction with floating elements (three lens groups in total) ensures consistently high imaging performance over the entire setting range, which is particularly noticeable in macro photography.
The apochromatic correction of the lens reduces color errors and color fringing at sharp edges to a minimum and achieves a natural reproduction of all details.
The 110 mm focal length not only ensures a good working distance to subjects for macro shots, the Lanthar is of course ideally suited for portrait shots.
Another attractive feature is the ability to produce images with a strong bokeh effect, which is made possible by the focal length of 110 mm and the maximum aperture of F2.5.
Distance and aperture are set manually, but the lens also has electrical contacts with which the lens settings can be included in the Exif information of the image data during image capture.
The lens also supports the camera’s internal 5-axis image stabilization.
