New Voigtlander 50mm f/2.0 APO Lanthar review by Fujiablog: “may be the best performing lens ever tested”

Share

Fujiablog (Google translation here) published  the first review of the new Voigtlander 50mm f/2.0 APO Lanthar lens. Specs might not impress but the performance surely does. Here is the google translated conclusion:

If you limit the performance of a lens to things such as resolution, sharpness, and good omission, it is a lens that has a monster-like performance. In this blog, various lenses have been tested, but Voigtlander APO-LANTHAR 50mm F2 Aspherical E-mount may be the best performing lens ever.

Chromatic aberration was also corrected well, and purple fringing was rare.

I think that the design is where the taste will be divided (I personally feel that …), but there may be a wolf-like goodness with a sheepskin (especially the hood is just a cylinder) I think it ’s not good).

Reasonable price for the performance is also a merit (50mm ultra high performance lens is often over 300,000 yen), and it is also recommended for users that that manufacturer and that manufacturer are too expensive to buy .

I looked through the viewfinder and focused on it. There is no lens suitable for this combination with SONY α7rIV! I felt that.

The lens is yet not available for preorder outside Japan…
