The Good Stuff.

10.05.2023

Several people asked me just how sharp the Voigtlander 50mm APO-Lanthar is when used at its close focusing distance on an M series camera....

 


I posted a visual response. The TL:DR?  It's more than sharp enough for me....


Voigtlander 50mm APO-Lanthar, handheld on a Leica M240, close in. The lens is one of my absolute favorites and was my most used lens on my recent photo adventure in Canada.

My final summation?   I'd buy it again. And again.

The result speaks for itself. A used Leica M body with less-expensive Voigtlander glass strikes me as a sane way to enjoy the traditional Leica rangefinder experience.
