Voigtlander Ultron 35mm f/1.7 Aspherical Lens (Black)

Description

A favoured focal length among street photographers and journalists, the black Ultron 35mm f/1.7 Aspherical Lens from Voigtlander is a standard wide-angle prime designed for use with M-mount rangefinder cameras. The versatile focal length is complemented by the fast f/1.7 maximum aperture, which benefits working in a variety of lighting conditions and also offers enhanced selective focus control. The lens construction incorporates a single aspherical element to reduce spherical aberrations and distortions for increased sharpness and clarity, and the ten-blade diaphragm helps to achieve a smooth, pleasing bokeh. This manual focus lens permits focusing as closely as 50 cm away and depth of field and distance scales aid in pre-focusing and zone focusing techniques.

Features

• Fast f/1.7 maximum aperture benefits working in low-light conditions and also enables greater control over focus position for selective focus applications.
• One aspherical element is incorporated at the rear of the nine elements in seven groups construction, and helps to limit spherical aberrations and distortions.
• Manual focus design enables a minimum focusing distance of 50 cm, and it is rangefinder coupled for accurate focusing to 70 cm.
