Premium manual focus apochromatic prime lens for Nikon Z mount cameras.
The Voigtlander Apo-Lanthar 35mm f/2 II is the second generation of Voigtlander's flagship apochromatic wide-angle prime, here in Nikon Z mount. Apo (apochromatic) correction minimises chromatic aberration across the visible spectrum to levels typically only achieved by telephoto apochromatic designs. The Lanthar formula is Voigtlander's own high-performance optical design.
35mm focal length, f/2 maximum aperture, apochromatic optical formula (Apo-Lanthar), Nikon Z mount (mirrorless full-frame), manual focus only, 52mm filter thread.
The Apo-Lanthar 35mm f/2 II delivers outstanding chromatic aberration correction for a fast wide prime — colour fringing at f/2 wide open is minimal compared to non-apochromatic designs. Sharpness is excellent across the field from f/2. The Nikon Z version enables use on Nikon Z mirrorless bodies with live-view manual focus assists (focus peaking, magnification).
Inspect for fungus, haze, and coating condition. Test the focus helicoid for smooth operation. Confirm Nikon Z mount engagement. Check aperture blades for oil-free operation. Test at f/2 for lateral chromatic aberration — this is the defining attribute to verify.
