Put simply, most lenses struggle with the fact that colors don’t always focus at the same distance, which results in green or purple (red) fringing due to the fact that those colors aren’t focusing on the same plane of focus. A lens with an Apochromatic design has better correction of chromatic and spherical aberration than the much more common achromat lenses. It is because this is one of the two most important parts of the optical performance of this lens. You might have wondered why I’ve been emphasizing the APO in this review. It looks great on your camera! Voigtländer APO50 Image Quality The APO50 is a lens designed to last for decades and will strongly appeal to those who appreciate finely made things on a visceral level. Despite being a light lens overall, it has that uniquely dense feeling I often get from Zeiss lenses that speaks of a lot of high grade metals and premium optical glass. This is a premium bit of kit with a beautifully engineered fit and finish. The lenses themselves are beautiful, with a satin, anodized finish that is sleek and premium in all the right ways. They are very, very similar to what is now called the “Classic” Zeiss series, in that construction is all metal and glass. Voigtländer is actually the oldest continually operating camera company in the world, and there is a classic charm to their lenses. Thanks again to Adam for the loaner of your lens! I’ll be reviewing the Voigtländer 110mm F2.5 Macro on my Sony a7RIII and Sony a9 bodies.įollow Me Patreon | My Newsletter | Instagram | Facebook | Twitter | Flickr | 500px Voigtländer APO50 Build and Handling Prefer to watch your reviews? I have both a standard length and more detailed “definitive” video review available: But there’s no question this lens has incredible optics and produces beautiful images (the lens helps turn the simple subject above into a bit of art!), so if you aren’t turned off already, read on and discover if the small but optically proud Voigtländer brand has your new lens.
