The APO-Lanthar is sharper and better corrected but the Planar is still sharp and great value. Thats the Loxia, quite a different lens, not the 50mm f2 ZM rgds Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted February 3, 2021 Posted February 3, 2021 Hi colonel, Take a look here Voigtlander APO-LANTHAR 50mm f/2 Aspherical VM lens to be announced soon. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
padam Posted February 3, 2021 Author Share #182 Posted February 3, 2021 Slight differences in design, but in essence they are very similar, same drawing, same distortion, etc. so you can expect the same differences between those two, the APO-Lanthar is an upgrade.

Yes that’s what led me to believe it could be a long wait, hence I paid slightly more by sourcing my lens from Jo Geiger in Austria but I had the lens delivered within 2 working days and the hood as well.

Leon Sung Posted February 4, 2021 Share #184 Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) Hi, all I have received this lens and shot some testing photos with M10. After zooming in some photo to 1:1, I observed obvious purple fringing, likes the attached file. Is it expected performance on APO lens? Or, it is just because my lens is a bad copy?

BrianS Posted February 4, 2021 Share #189 Posted February 4, 2021 Made me Trek into the Backyard. In the Snow... 100% crops with my M9, Lens Coding OFF, Heliopan UV/IR filter on the lens. The shots into the Sun- blown highlights so bad that sensor artifacts crept into the image. I've never seen that before, so I would state that these images are "extreme". On some I got reflections from the filter. I suspect this is an issue of lens coding, sensor stack, and maybe reflections off the sensor stack on the M10. On my M9- this lens is as good as I will ever need. And the M9 is as good of a color camera that I ever want. Welcome, dear visitor!

Cobram Posted February 4, 2021 Share #197 Posted February 4, 2021 @BrianS Thank you for your photos🙂. From your samples it seems Lanthar is a nice and sharp lens. Colors are typical Voigtlander... Another great product from Cosina. 🙌 I encourage you to post new photos in next weeks. We are hungry of Voigtlander stuff 😁 Portraits will be much appreciated as I'm obsessed with skin tones 😁 Again thank you very much for your effort! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianS Posted February 4, 2021 Share #198 Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) I will do so. And if we get some decent weather, take my Daughter out to a park again. I'll get her to pose in sunlight for me. This NOT with the APO-Lanthar. This is with the Pentax 85/4.5 "Ultra-Achromatic Takumar" (UAT, corrected for 4 wavelengths). On film. We'll see how the APO-Lanthar compares with it. Might try it on the M9 with the Pentax Adapter. This shot- always impressed me with the delicate rendering. Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! One estimate gives 40 of these lenses still in existance. (Not a Leica Lens, not a Leica camera- posted for comparison. And you may never see anyone else posting pictures of their kids taken with this lens) These days- the 50 year old lens goes in the $4500 range. Both lenses use 49mm filters. I'm in luck.

sutlore Posted February 4, 2021 Share #199 Posted February 4, 2021 In some challenging situations, the lens will show flaws (bad fringing). However, I have to say that this lens has very nice warm rendering in general and crazy sharp all over at f2. My 50/1.5 v1 sharpness is not quite in the same league, even step down to f2.8. Distortion and vignette are very very low, I would say if your eyes are very picky. Not a problem for me at all. Overall, it did not dissapoint me and I really enjoy pairing this one with my M10. It is rare for me to shoot in such a condition that makes CA appears, which still easy to correct. I also have some friends, who already bought the lens but we have not discussed about this in person. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
