New Voigtländer APO-LANTHAR 28mm F2 Aspherical Z-mount lens released
Cosina announced the new Voigtländer APO-LANTHAR 28mm F2 Aspherical Z-mount lens (product page here). The lens will start to ship out in December.
Designed exclusively for the Nikon Z mount
Equipped with an optical system optimized for the image sensors of mirrorless cameras that use the Nikon Z mount, this lens has a full-size image circle and can be used with both full-size (Nikon FX format) mirrorless cameras and APS-C size (Nikon DX format) mirrorless cameras.
Apochromatic design
In addition to thoroughly eliminating various aberrations, including axial chromatic aberration, we also pursue ultimate performance in terms of resolution and contrast reproduction.
Optical glass and mechanical components that deliver high performance
The lens consists of 12 elements in 8 groups, including 6 elements of anomalous partial dispersion glass and 2 double-sided aspherical lenses, and is also equipped with a floating mechanism.
Electronic contacts for communication with the body
The lens mount is equipped with electronic contacts, enabling electrical communication between the lens and body. The combination of an electrical communication-compatible body and the latest firmware *1 enables support for Exif information, in-body image stabilization (3-axis), and three types of focusing support functions (focusing by changing the focus point frame color, focusing by peaking, and focusing using the magnification button).
Manual focus for precise focusing
The all-metal helicoid unit is machined and adjusted with high precision, and the use of high-quality grease that generates just the right amount of torque ensures smooth focusing, allowing for subtle focus adjustments.
