To mark the 25th anniversary of the Voigtländer brand, Cosina presents an exceptional limited edition: the APO-LANTHAR 50mm F3.5 VM lens.

A Collector's Item in Three Exclusive Colors
The APO-LANTHAR 50mm F3.5 Limited Edition is more than just a lens: it is a collector's item that impresses with its elegant design, precise manufacturing and exceptional performance. It is produced in three unique colors: gray, olive green and navy blue. Each color is strictly limited to 250 copies, making this lens an exclusive product for photography enthusiasts.

Special features of this edition include:
F3.5 maximum aperture: perfect for creative control over depth of field and lighting.
Retro design: from the nostalgic filter diameter (φ34mm) to the classically inspired straight screw slots, the lens pays homage to the golden age of rangefinder lenses.
Precision and control: the manual focus mechanism offers a silky operating feel. The pairing with the rangefinder works up to a distance of 0.7 m, while the minimum focusing distance is 0.45 m.

The solid brass lens hood is finely grooved at the tip and coated with the respective lacquer colors. Each lens features a numbered engraving that documents the limitation. In addition, the lens comes with an elegant brass front cap, a special metal rear cap and a high-quality lens case.

The Anniversary Edition is based on the proven APO-LANTHAR 50 mm F3.5 Type I and sets new standards in the standard lens class. The lens is apochromatically corrected, which almost completely eliminates chromatic aberrations. With an elaborate construction of eight elements in six groups - four of which are made of anomalous partial dispersion glass - it offers exceptional resolution and excellent contrast across the entire image field.

Despite its classic design, the Anniversary lens is versatile and optimized for full-size VM-mount sensors. With the help of optionally available adapters, it can be easily used on modern digital cameras, including Sony (E-Mount), Fujifilm (X-Mount) and Nikon (Z-Mount) systems.

With the introduction of the anniversary edition of the APO-LANTHAR 50 mm F3.5, Cosina pays tribute to the history and heritage of Voigtländer products. This lens is not only a technical masterpiece, but also a symbol of the passion and dedication that characterizes each product of the brand. It is a gift for photographers who appreciate the value of precision, design and photographic culture.

The limited edition is available in authorized specialist stores. Due to the strict restrictions, early ordering is recommended.
