Well, the Apo-Lanthar's main feature is its minimal focussing distance of 35 (Version II) or 45 cm (Version I). With a Barnack Leica you will never be able to use this as the camera's rangefinder will stop at 1m. There has been a 1:3.5/50mm Heliar with LTM - though it is now offered only with M-mount Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted September 1, 2024 Posted September 1, 2024 Hi UliWer, Take a look here Voigtlander APO-Lanthar 50mm F3.5 and Color-Skopar 50mm F2.2. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

Mefty Posted September 2, 2024 Share #43  Posted September 2, 2024 What I really like about both versions of the APO-Lanthar 50mm f3.5 is, that Voigtländer finally implemented the haptic feedback if you pass the 0,7m and enter the non-rangefinder cuppling. It is not so prominent as with the newer Leica glasses but prominent enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lekitr Posted September 2, 2024 Share #46 Â Posted September 2, 2024 Now I dream of a 35 apo lanthar in the same form factor as the ver 2. Â Why not also a new apo lanthar 90mm lightweight, not the discontinued one but an updated optical formula. Â Would be a great kit for travel. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riccardo.asselta Posted January 19 Share #48  Posted January 19 Credo che le prestazioni del CV Apo Lanthar 50mm f3,5 siano eccellenti e mi stuzzica molto la distanza minima di messa a fuoco di 35 cm. Sarà sicuramente il mio prossimo acquisto da affiancare al Summilux asph e al Sonnar, un trittico di 50mm completamente diversi tra loro. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiOnara Posted February 25 Share #54 Â Posted February 25 (edited) Can I ask if any other users of the 50mm 3.5 APO type 1 have noticed the lens doesn't seem to engage the 'punch in focus assist' whilst using live view on the M11? Â It's strange as the lens moves the pivot wheel so the rangefinder focus works fine. Â Just not the zoom in whilst using live view. I popped a different lens on to test and that worked as you'd expect. Edited February 25 by SiOnara Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiOnara Posted February 25 Share #55 Â Posted February 25 (edited) Hummmm, also I get a 'no lens attached' on my M11M. Â It's a new lens I just purchased. Â Strange. If I place the lens on the camera it's fine. Â Soon as I turn the lens to lock it onto the camera body it shuts the shutter and brings up the No Lens error.

SiOnara Posted February 25 Share #56 Â Posted February 25 (edited) Can see someone else has the same issue with their M10M over on the FredMiranda forum. Â Â Â Update: I seem to be able to use the lens fine if I turn Dust Protection off in the camera settings. Â I wonder if it's due to the lens mount rim bring black as opposed to silver on most other lenses and it's effecting the 6bit encoding? Â Â Edited February 25 by SiOnara Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiOnara Posted February 26 Share #57  Posted February 26 Just to follow up again!  Seems like mounting the lens a s few times has worn the mount rim back a little so it's not solid black now and more silver showing through.  Lens works fine now with Dust Protection on and also fixed the lack of 'punch in focus assist' which was my issue.   As for the lens I love it.  The aluminium matt black version is wonderfully light and a super carry around lens for shooting at f5.6 or f8.  Also shooting at f3.5 has a unique look.  Small amount of bokeh due to limited aperture size but a bit of natural vignetting.  Unusual combination.  1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
