Voigtlander 28mm f/2 VM Aspherical Apo-Lanthar Lens Summary
The Voigtlander 28mm f/2 VM Aspherical Apo-Lanthar Lens sets a new benchmark for wide-angle performance in the M mount range. It is designed for digital and film rangefinder cameras, and is Voigtlander’s highest resolution 28mm lens to date. The optical design features apochromatic colour correction within an advanced optical formula, which delivers exceptional sharpness, clarity, and colour accuracy across the frame.
A floating element design delivers consistent optical performance even at close distances, while a compact 50mm barrel keeps handling easy and balanced on smaller rangefinder bodies.
Two double-sided aspherical elements and five abnormal partial dispersion elements work to eliminate optical aberrations, while premium lens coatings help to reduce flare and ghosting. The metal focus ring and precision-machined helicoid offer a rewarding manual focus experience, and the built-in rangefinder coupling enables accurate focusing from 0.7m to infinity.
A helicoid extends for manual focus down to 0.5m, and the premium lens includes a specially designed metal petal-style hood that can be reverse mounted for storage. With superb bokeh rendering and APO design, this 28mm wide angle lens is ideal for street, architecture, landscape, and documentary photography.

Voigtlander 28mm f/2 VM Aspherical Apo-Lanthar Lens in More Detail
Advanced Optical Design
The 28mm f/2 APO-Lanthar features an advanced optical design with 12 elements in 8 groups, including two double-sided aspherical and five abnormal partial dispersion elements. This achieves Voigtlander’s apochromatic standard, virtually eliminating chromatic aberration for high-resolution, colour-accurate results. The floating element ensures consistent image quality from minimum focus through to infinity.
Compact Size with Refined Handling
Measuring just 50mm long and weighing only 265g, this lens combines portability with high build quality. The precision-machined all-metal housing includes a diamond-pattern focus ring and smooth helicoid mechanism, for a tactile, rewarding manual focusing experience. It is optimised for rangefinders, with coupling from 0.7m to infinity, and allows close shooting down to 0.5m via the extended helicoid.
Apochromatic (APO) Performance
Like its 35mm and 50mm APO-Lanthar siblings, this wide 28mm lens delivers outstanding colour correction and optical precision. It is suitable for modern high-resolution sensors as well as for film photography. The 12-blade aperture renders a near-circular shape when stopped down, producing attractive bokeh across out-of-focus areas with point light sources.
Accessories
The included metal lens hood is specially made for the lens and features a petal design for the best shading. It can be reversed for storage without obstructing access to the focus ring or aperture ring, and the lens accepts 49mm screw-in filters.
