Lens Voigtlander Color Skopar II Vintage Line 21 mm f/3.5 for Leica M - silver

The Voigtlander Color Skopar II Vintage Line 21 mm f3.5 is a compact and extremely lightweight wide-angle lens that surprises with its sharpness and colour fidelity. The optical design of the Skopar 21mm f3.5 is derived from its legendary predecessor, the Skopar 21mm f4, beloved by analogue camera users, but refined for modern full-frame digital camera sensors. The second version of the Color Skopara 21 mm f3.5 received a Vintage-style barrel available in one of two finish colours: black or silver. Wide angle The lens' focal length of 21 mm puts it between the classic "thirty-five" and the super-wide "fifteen". The 91° angle of view and short minimum focus distance capture the atmosphere in the centre of the scene. Optical distortion, so common in short focal length lenses, is almost imperceptible in the Skopar 21mm f3.5. The lens is ideal for travel, landscape and architecture photography. In street and reportage photography it will allow you to capture the main subject of the photo against the background of his environment. In general and in detail The optical construction redesigned from the Voigtlander Color Skopar 21 mm f4 has been adapted to the requirements of modern digital camera sensors. Composed of 9 elements arranged in 8 groups, it includes two special elements, one aspherical and one with an ultra-low refractive index. These are responsible for the lens' incredible microcontrast and above-average sharpness. A perfectly functioning 10-blade iris lets you control the amount of light that passes through. With a maximum aperture of f3.5 it is possible to blur the background nicely even at wide angle. Quality without compromise Voigtlander brand lenses are renowned for their superior build quality. The Color Skopar 21 mm f3.5 is no exception. The barrel is made entirely of metal, thanks to which the lens will maintain exceptional precision of operation for many years. The focus ring moves smoothly but with the necessary resistance for accurate operation. The aperture ring, on the other hand, lets you change the value in 12 EV increments between f3.5 and f22. Bayonet Leica M The lens is equipped with a Leica M bayonet, designed for Leica and Voigtlander rangefinder cameras. Using the appropriate bayonet adapter, it can be mounted on any Canon R, Fuxjilim X, Nikon Z, Sony E or Micro 43 mirrorless camera. The lens covers the entire 35mm format frame with its image, as well as the medium format sensors of Fujifilm cameras with slight vignetting.
