Voigtlander's APO-corrected 50mm for Nikon Z — manual focus f/2 with apochromatic precision.
The Voigtlander Apo-Lanthar 50mm f/2 Z is a manual-focus standard prime designed natively for Nikon Z-mount with full apochromatic correction. The APO-Lanthar designation indicates Voigtlander's highest optical tier — virtually eliminating chromatic aberration.
Optically outstanding — the APO correction delivers exceptional micro-contrast and colour accuracy. Sharp from f/2 with virtually zero chromatic aberration. The Lanthar rendering is distinctive — technically precise yet with pleasing tonal character. Electronic contacts for EXIF and aperture.
Nikon Z mount with 49mm filter thread. Approximately 350g. No weather sealing. Electronic contacts for full camera communication despite manual focus. Minimum focus distance 45cm. 12 aperture blades for smooth bokeh. Metal construction throughout.
Available used at professional prices. The APO correction is genuine — measurably superior to non-APO lenses for chromatic aberration. The Nikon Z 50mm f/1.8 S has AF but lacks APO correction. For photographers who value ultimate optical precision and enjoy manual focus.
