Voigtlander 65mm f/2 Macro Apo-Lanthar Aspherical Lens for Nikon Z Summary
Continuing the trend to redevelop their highly regarded lenses for the Nikon FX full-frame mirrorless Z cameras is this Voigtlander 65mm f/2 Macro Apo-Lanthar Aspherical Lens for Nikon Z.

Voigtlander 65mm f/2 Macro Apo-Lanthar Aspherical Lens for Nikon Z in More Detail
Incredibly accurate manual focus
You can achieve incredibly accurate focus for pin sharp results while using three different in-camera focus assist tools. These include:
- focusing by colour changing of the focus point frame
- focus peaking
- focusing with the enlargement button
High-performance macro for Nikon Z
The Voigtlander 65mm f/2 Macro Apo-Lanthar covers a full-size image circle and its optical design is optimised for Nikon Z sensors. An 8-group, 10-element lens design includes an aspherical surface on both sides and six elements of abnormal partial-dispersion glass, which is the best optical design in the history of Voigtländer. This results in extremely high optical performance.
In addition to large bokeh effects, which can be enjoyed with the large f/2 maximum aperture, the lens also exhibits sharp performance even when shooting wide open at the maximum aperture.
A floating lens mechanism enables extremely high-quality images of even distant subjects, starting from the minimum focusing distance of 0.31m (1/2x magnification) through to infinity.

Some functions may be limited by older firmware, so please use the latest firmware version for your camera. Please refer to the body instruction manual to confirm the firmware of the body you are using and to obtain the latest available for maximum results.*

Our Verdict
Voigtlander has released several lenses prior to this 65mm f/2 Macro Apo-Lanthar Aspherical Lens for Nikon Z mount, which continue to garner excellent reviews from users who enjoy the immersive experience of manual focus lenses. The all-metal design is suitably solid, weighing in at 618g to complement any full-frame Nikon mirrorless body.
Electronic contacts communicate with the camera to record EXIF data and harness 3-axis in-body stabilisation. This also allows you to utilise focus assist features, such as focus peaking and punching in to gain incredibly sharp results.
The optical design is Voigtlander’s most accomplished, delivering excellent images across the entire aperture range and from near to infinity. This enables you to shoot extremely detailed macro shots with a 1:2x magnification, as well as classic short telephoto portraits and any other more distant subjects.
The aspherical element is mixed with partial dispersion elements and results are noticeably strong, with natural colours and an overall refined user experience. The result is a prime lens which makes a brilliant choice for any Nikon mirrorless users who enjoy capturing close-ups 1:2 macro images of flowers, insects or general details.
