Expanded Voigtlander 50mm f2 Apo-Lanthar Lens for Nikon Z Key Features:
Highest Performing Standard Lens
With 10 elements in 8 groups, this lens from Voigtlander uses the latest apochromatic optical design to provide results that will change the perception of familiar 50mm f2 standard lenses. These groups include 5 abnormal partial dispersion glass elements and 2 aspherical elements, which provide excellent resolving power and beautifully render all the finer details.
This lens is highly corrected to eliminate optical aberrations and has also been optimised to provide outstanding resolution and contrast. Combined with the impressively wide, bright and fast f2 maximum aperture, this lens is perfect for tackling low-light cityscapes or producing portraiture with stunning background separation and a shallow depth of field.
Designed Exclusively for Nikon Z
Designed exclusively for full-frame Nikon mirrorless camera users, this lens offers a 50mm focal length, which is an extremely popular choice for photographers wanting a more natural field of view, similar to how we see with the human eye. This 50mm focal length is perfect for bettering photographers' composition and helping users get more adventurous with framing - without the temptation to just zoom! And, with an all-metal lens barrel and vintage aesthetic, this retro design reminiscent of the 60s/70s perfectly complements Nikon camera bodies for an incredibly stylish setup that’s just as artistic as the photos it can produce.
Reap The Benefits
One of the most exciting features of this lens is its ability to communicate with Nikon Z camera bodies electronically. These electronic contacts can transfer Exif data, harness 3-axis in-body stabilisation and provide compatibility with focus assist tools, including focusing by changing the colour of the focus point frame, focus peaking and focusing using the enlargement button. This allows Voiglander’s manual-only focus lens to reap the benefits of modern technology, whilst maintaining an incredibly lightweight and compact build.
