## Voigtländer APO-LANTHAR 35mm f/2 Aspherical Lens for Sony E-mount
This auction is for the flagship **Voigtländer APO-LANTHAR 35mm f/2 Aspherical**, an extraordinary manual focus prime lens designed specifically for Sony E-mount full-frame cameras. The "APO-LANTHAR" designation is reserved only for the highest-performing lenses in the Voigtländer lineup. This lens is engineered to provide an apochromatic design, which virtually eliminates axial chromatic aberration, resulting in images with extreme resolution, contrast, and color fidelity that rival the best optics in the world.
### Key Features and Professional Specifications
* **Model:** Voigtländer APO-LANTHAR 35mm f/2 Aspherical.
* **Mount:** **Sony E-mount (FE)** (Compatible with Sony Alpha full-frame and APS-C mirrorless cameras).
* **Focal Length:** **35\text{mm}**, the classic focal length for street, documentary, and landscape photography.
* **Apochromatic Design:** Specifically designed to bring the three primary colors (RGB) into the same focal plane, eliminating color fringing even at the widest aperture.
* **Optical Construction:** Includes two double-sided aspherical elements and five anomalous partial dispersion elements to ensure ultimate edge-to-edge sharpness.
* **Aperture Control:**
* **Selective Aperture Control System:** Allows the user to switch between clicked and click-less (smooth) aperture operation, making it ideal for both still photography and cinematography.
* **Circular Bokeh:** Features a **12-blade diaphragm** which creates a circular aperture at f/2, f/2.8, f/5.6, and f/16, providing beautifully smooth background bokeh and distinct sunstars.
* **Electronic Contacts:** Despite being manual focus, the lens features electronic contacts to transmit **EXIF data** to the camera, supporting 5-axis in-body image stabilization (IBIS) and focus magnification.
* **Build Quality:** Precision-machined, all-metal barrel with a high-quality helicoid for a smooth and accurate manual focusing experience.
### Condition and Included Items
The lens is presented in excellent, near-mint condition and includes its original premium accessories.
* **Voigtländer APO-LANTHAR 35mm f/2 Aspherical Lens**
* **Voigtländer Dedicated Screw-in Metal Lens Hood**
* **Voigtländer Metal Front Lens Cap**
* **Voigtländer Rear Lens Cap**
* **Original Box and Documentation**
**Condition Note:** This lens is a masterpiece of modern optical engineering. The body shows minimal signs of use, and the glass elements are pristine, free from scratches, haze, or fungus. It is ready to deliver world-class performance on any high-resolution Sony Alpha body.
