Voigtlander APO-Lanthar 2,0/50mm II Z-Mount Aspherical Black

A standard manual-focus prime made for full-frame Nikon Z-mount cameras, the APO-LANTHAR 50mm f/2 Aspherical Version II Lens from Voigtlander distinguishes itself with an impressive optical design that minimizes chromatic aberrations and enhances image quality. Sporting a versatile and classic focal length, users can best utilize this 50mm f/2 for capturing a little bit of everything, including landscapes, architecture, and portraits. This lens's bright f/2 maximum aperture and 12-bladed diaphragm not only make it easy to work with in low-light conditions, but it also creates images with impressive bokeh.

This second iteration model sees an updated optical design that features a floating elements system containing two aspherical lenses and five partial dispersion lenses within 10 elements in 8 groups overall.
