Voigtlander APO-Lanthar 50mm f/2 II Review

The Voigtlander APO-Lanthar 50mm f/2 II is a full-frame, manual focus lens designed with an emphasis on build quality and image quality. The sleek, all-metal barrel gives the lens a high-end feel and helps justify the $900 price tag. Meanwhile, the “APO” in the name refers to “apochromatic” – in other words, a lens that is highly corrected for aberrations, including color fringing. On paper, all of this is very interesting, and I was excited to put the lens to the test earlier this year!
