The COLOR-SKOPAR Vintage Line 21mm F3.5 Aspherical VM is a newly designed compact super wide lens from Voigtländer.
By limiting the maximum aperture to a practical level, the lens realizes both compactness and high performance. While the optical design features an element with aspherical surfaces to ensure optical performance that can be used with confidence from maximum aperture, the lens itself is just 30 mm long (from the mount surface). This lens offers true portability and a beautiful design that provides satisfaction of ownership.
The minimum focus distance is 50 cm. The lens is designed for rangefinder-coupled digital and film cameras, and features an optical design optimized for imaging on mirrorless digital camera s using a mount adapter. The design features measures for reducing color cast in the corners of the image, making the lens suitable for imaging on many other platforms as well as rangefinder-coupled cameras.
The optional LH-11 lens hood manufactured from aluminum feature a bayonet mount for quick attachment / removal and crystal paint highly valued for its classical texture.
Main Features
- Classical styling reminiscent of the 1950s
- Element with aspherical surfaces ensures excellent performance from maximum aperture
- Extremely solid and durable all-metal barrel
- Manual focus for precise focusing
- Aperture mechanism with 10 aperture blades for beautiful bokeh
- Bayonet type VM-mount lens
Our Verdict
This wide angle lens achieves satisfying results with excellent colour rendition, sharpness and clarity thanks to 9 elements in 8 groups, belying the 180 g weight. Whether you shoot landscapes, architecture or general wide angle shots you’ll find this optic enticing to use, allowing you to engross yourself into the art of image making.
Voigtländer produce a wide range of lenses for Rangefinders as well as other systems and their vast experience shines through with this 21mm/1:3,5 Color Skopar. With a 10-bladed aperture you’ll even be able to get smooth out of focus areas in images despite the ultra wide angle, providing more opportunities to create enticing images across a wide range of genres.
