Lens Review: Voigtländer MACRO APO-LANTHAR 65mm F2 Aspherical

The Voigtländer MACRO APO-LANTHAR 65mm F2 Aspherical is a high-performance manual focus macro lens designed for Sony E-mount full-frame cameras. It offers a 1:2 maximum magnification ratio with a minimum focusing distance of 31 cm, making it ideal for capturing detailed close-up images. The lens features an apochromatic (APO) design to minimize chromatic aberrations and deliver sharp, high-contrast images across the frame. Its bright F2 maximum aperture allows for excellent low-light performance and depth of field control, suitable for both macro and portrait photography. The all-metal construction ensures durability, and the 10-blade diaphragm contributes to smooth, pleasing bokeh.
