Voigtlander 90 mm F2.8 APO Skopar

In the vast realm of photography, the perfect balance between lens portability and exceptional performance is often elusive. Enter the Voigtlander 90 mm F2.8 APO Skopar VM, a medium telephoto lens that doesn’t compromise on quality or compactness.

Unrivaled Optical Performance

Designed exclusively for full frame VM mounts, this lens boasts a unique optical design utilizing Abnormal Partial Dispersion glass. Five out of its seven elements ensure your captures are not just sharp but also rich and three-dimensional. The apochromatic design minimizes axial chromatic aberration, enhancing the clarity and vibrance of your shots.

A Masterclass in Compact Design

Despite its powerful performance, the lens stands out due to its minimalistic design. With a length of just 60mm and a weight of a mere 250g, it's a breeze to carry and doesn't intrude into the viewfinder frame of rangefinder cameras. The true essence of the lens lies in its blend of compactness and high-end performance.

Artistry in Every Shot

The lens’s 10-blade diaphragm is a feat in engineering. Whether you’re shooting at F2.8, F4, or F22, it maintains a circular shape, allowing for cinematic “ball blur” effects when aimed at point light sources. This attribute elevates the artistic potential of every shot, providing photographers with a tool to create mesmerizing effects with ease.

Rangefinder-Ready & Versatile

Intended for rangefinder-linked digital and film cameras, its high-precision interlocking mechanism delivers a seamless and smooth focusing experience. The all-metal helicoid ring ensures durability, while the 0.9m minimum shooting distance – quite close for a 90mm lens – expands creative possibilities. Moreover, its compatibility extends to Sony E-mount, Fujifilm X-mount, and Nikon Z-mount digital cameras when used with Voigtländer mount adapters, making it a versatile choice for photographers.

Key Highlights:

• Medium telephoto lens optimized for full frame M mount sensors.
• Abnormal Partial Dispersion glass ensures top-notch image quality.
• Compact design with a 60mm length and 250g weight.
• 10-blade diaphragm for artistic “ball blur” effects.
• High-precision rangefinder interlocking mechanism.

Conclusion

The Voigtlander 90 mm F2.8 APO Skopar VM is a testament to what modern lens engineering can achieve – a compact, lightweight lens delivering unmatched optical quality. For photographers seeking the best of both worlds, this lens is a dream come true.
