The 90 mm F2.8 APO-Skopar VM is a lens with a medium telephoto focal length and manual focusing. It has been completely redeveloped and uses a glass with abnormal partial dispersion for five of the seven elements, resulting in an exceptionally high sharpness performance and the images appear rich and three-dimensional. In addition to the high image quality, the apochromatic design ensures that the axial chromatic aberration is as close to zero as possible.
The Voigtländer 90 mm F2.8 APO-Skopar VM was developed with compactness in mind and as a result is only 60 mm long and weighs just 250 g. Due to its small size, it does not protrude into the viewfinder frame when used on a rangefinder camera.
The panel with its 10 slats takes on a special shape. It not only forms a circle at fully open aperture F2.8, but also at F4 and F22. This means that circular light reflections can be produced if the lens is pointed directly at a point light source.
The shortest shooting distance associated with the rangefinder is 0.9 m (depending on the camera used), which is a very good value for a 90 mm lens. A lens hood, which can also be attached to the lens upside down when not in use, is included in the scope of delivery.
The Voigtländer 90 mm F2.8 APO-Skopar VM is available in silver and black and can also be attached to Sony E-mount, Fujifilm X-mount and Nikon Z-mount digital cameras using the appropriate adapters.
