The high-performance macro lens Macro Apo-Lanthar, which was specially designed for the high-resolution sensors of full-frame cameras with E-mount, is considered one of the best lenses in Voigtländer’s history.
Already with an open aperture, the lens equipped with 10 aperture blades offers an outstanding optical quality, which can be played with an excellent bokeh. Its optical design guarantees the high quality standard from infinity to the maximum magnification of 1:2.
The apochromatic correction (the correction to three, not just two colors), symbolized by the three colored slashes on the lens, almost completely eliminates chromatic aberrations. The electronic integration makes it very convenient to use with e-connection cameras. This transmits distance and focal length data, which provides the camera’s 5-axis stabilizer with the required information and automatically switches on the viewfinder magnifier during adjustment. The EXIF data also facilitates the evaluation and correction of images in image processing.
