This is probably the most quirky currently-in-production lens for the M-mount, looking more like a mini Dalek from Dr. Who than a boring camera lens.
Here are some sample shots taken with the Voigtländer APO-Lanthar 50mm lens on a Sony α7R. The photos are taken on a weekend in Sydney when Transport for NSW launched the new Light Rail service from Circular Quay to Randwick.
Voigtländer say that this is their “best performance standard lens ever” and that’s a pretty bold claim. It is a high performance manual focus standard lens optimised for the imaging sensors of Sony mirrorless cameras.
The Voigtländer 40 mm/1:1.2 Nokton is a fast, manual lens, intended as an all-rounder walkabout prime lens that can shoot a variety of subjects comfortably. It straddles the gap between two common focal lengths for standard/normal lenses: 35mm and 50mm.
Voigtländer has just released their latest M-mount lens, the Nokton VM 75mm f1.5 fast portrait lens.
Voigtländer’s latest E-mount lens is an amazing super wide angle 21mm lens with a maximum aperture of f1.4!
