The Voigtländer 75 mm F1.9 Ultron VM-Mount is a completely new development and is available with two different lens coatings:
M.C. (Multi Coated) und S.C. (Single Coated).
Lenses from the Ultron series impress with their consistently very good sharpness performance and expressive image look, which for some users is reminiscent of early color film photography. The Voigtländer 75 mm F1.9 Ultron VM fits seamlessly into this characteristic and offers the photographer a wide scope for creativity.
The newly designed optics consist of 7 elements in 5 groups, 3 of which are made of the latest partial dispersion glass technology, which both suppresses chromatic aberration and ensures high image quality. The balance between bokeh and resolution has been optimized by deliberately leaving a moderate spherical aberration: the sharpness of the focused image areas is retained, while at the same time the out-of-focus area creates a rich and large bokeh effect.
While the M.C. version reacts in a balanced and controlled manner in almost all lighting situations, the S.C. version deliberately shows flares and stray light, especially in backlit conditions. These cannot be influenced and are created by chance, but some photographers like to use them as a stylistic device. Under optimal lighting conditions, the image results of both versions are very similar.
With an overall length of just 54.1 mm, the lens remains extremely compact and hardly protrudes into the viewfinder image on rangefinder cameras. The weight of just 290 g also contributes to the comfortable handling.
The M.C. model has a matt black surface finish, while the S.C. model has a slightly glossy black finish and is therefore more reminiscent of the classic optics. Both are supplied with a screw-on lens hood and a lens cap (both made of metal).
