Voigtlander 28mm f/2 Apo-Lanthar Aspherical Lens for Sony E Summary
The Voigtlander 28mm f/2 Apo-Lanthar Aspherical Lens for Sony E mount is a manual focus wide-angle prime, which delivers apochromatic correction and Voigtlander’s most advanced optical design. It follows the very well-regarded 35mm and 50mm Apo-Lanthar lenses, offering the same level of refinement but with a wider field of view that suits landscapes, street photography, documentary and general everyday shooting.
The lens features a 12-element design with six abnormal partial dispersion elements and two double-sided aspherical elements, arranged in eight groups with a floating mechanism to maintain image quality at all distances. A wide f/2 aperture and near-circular 12-blade diaphragm allow smooth defocus while keeping contrast and sharpness under control, even when shooting wide open. The apochromatic design helps suppress colour fringing across the whole frame, which is often noticeable with wide-angle lenses, especially around fine details or high-contrast edges.
Voigtlander has managed to keep the size compact, and the E-mount version measures 58.8mm from the mount and weighs around 350g, which makes it an easy lens to carry on any full-frame Sony camera. Electronic contacts support Exif data, 5-axis in-body stabilisation, and Sony’s focusing aids including focus peaking and viewfinder magnification triggered by turning the focus ring. A metal circular screw-on hood is included for a compact profile when mounted. Altogether, this is a lens aimed at photographers who want the precision of a fully manual optic with premium rendering and exceptional correction of optical aberrations

Voigtlander 28mm f/2 Apo-Lanthar Aspherical Lens for Sony E in More Detail
How does an apochromatic design affect image quality?
The Apo-Lanthar 28mm f/2 uses six abnormal partial dispersion elements and two double-sided aspherical elements to minimise chromatic aberration. This apochromatic correction reduces colour fringing both at the centre and edges of the frame, which becomes especially important with high-resolution Sony sensors. The floating mechanism maintains this level of correction from the 0.28m minimum distance through to infinity, giving consistent sharpness at any focusing point.
What does the 12-blade diaphragm achieve?
Voigtlander’s 12-blade aperture produces a near-circular opening, which renders point light sources clean and rounded. The f/2 aperture also gives you the flexibility to shoot handheld in low light and adds separation without introducing aberrations. This ensures that the lens is suitable for scenes where fine detail, colour control and natural transitions are advantageous.
How is handling and manual focusing with the lens?
The 28mm f/2 Apo-Lanthar lens has an all-metal barrel for rigidity, and a smooth manual focus ring that invites accurate focus adjustment. Sony bodies support focusing aids through the lens contacts, including viewfinder magnification and focus peaking, both of which can be triggered by rotating the focus ring. The aperture ring moves in one-third stops and can be switched to a clickless mode for video recording. The result is a high-quality feel, very nicely damped manual focus and a reassuringly solid lens in use.
What benefits does the E-mount version offer?
The Sony E-mount model measures just 58.8mm long and weighs around 350g. Electronic communication supports Exif recording and full 5-axis in-body stabilisation for steady handheld shots. Sony’s magnification and peaking functions integrate smoothly with the manual focus system. The supplied metal screw-on hood maintains a small footprint when fitted.
