Voigtlander Apo Lanthar 50 mm f/2 Aspherical

1. Introduction

In my opinion the Voigtlander Apo Lanthar series lenses are among one of the best devices I have had a pleasure to test. I have already tested the 2/35, the 2/65 and the 3.5/90 models and believe me, every one of them was a joy to handle. Ater the test I had only positive things to say about them and I praised them without any hesitation.

We failed to test only the Apo Lanthar 50 mm f/2 Aspherical, a lens relatively new because launched near the end of 2020 but, after an excellent result of the Apo Lanthar 2/35, I couldn't deny myself any longer the pleasure of looking at it more closely.

Courtesy of the FoxFoto company, the Polish distributor of Voigtalnder brand name products, I am very happy to present the results of our testing procedure, concerning mechanical and optical properties of this interesting optical instrument – enjoy your reading!
