The Voigtlander 35mm f2 Macro APO-Ultron X is a completely new development and was designed exclusively for the Fujifilm APS-C sensor. The focal length corresponds to around 53 mm on Fujifilm APS-C cameras and thus offers a popular and universal standard focal length.
The lens configuration consists of nine elements in six groups, whereby three elements made of glass with abnormal partial dispersion are used. A special feature is the minimum focus distance of just 16.3 cm (magnification 1:2) with a working distance to the subject of 6 cm (with lens hood attached). This enables exciting perspectives with an extremely narrow depth of field range.
In addition to the pleasantly natural color rendition due to the apochromatic design, the lens has a maximum aperture of F2.0 – an exceptionally large aperture for a macro lens. A front focusing system is used in which the front four groups are moved together, which also keeps the extension length short when focusing. Overall, with a length of 54.8 mm and a weight of 265 g, the lens is very compact and portable.
The lens is also equipped with electronic contacts that ensure reliable communication between the lens and the camera body. Functions such as the focus check, the display of the shooting distance and the camera’s internal image stabilization and parallax correction are supported on certain models (please note the “Important notes on data communication” at the end).
The Voigtländer 35 mm / 1:2.0 Macro APO-Ultron X-Mount is not only aimed at macro photographers, but also offers the right mix of perspective, image quality and pleasant handling for many other photographic situations.
A lens hood is included in the scope of delivery.
