The Voigtländer 28mm f2 Apo-Lanthar is a fast, wide-angle prime lens that sits in the same performance tier as the brand’s acclaimed 35mm and 50mm Apo-Lanthars. Its apochromatic design and twin aspherical elements hold contrast and colour tightly, even when working wide open, and the floating group keeps close-range shots crisp. The lens feels compact on a Nikon Z-mount body, with a smooth manual focus action and a neatly rounded 12-blade aperture.

Voigtlander 28mm f2 Apo-Lanthar Lens for Nikon Z Key Features:

  • Premium 28mm f2 wide-angle prime designed for maximum optical clarity
  • Apochromatic design minimises colour fringing across the frame
  • Advanced optical construction featuring 12 elements in 8 groups
  • Aspherical and abnormal dispersion elements increase resolution and contrast
  • Floating mechanism maintains sharpness from the minimum focus to infinity
  • Minimum focus distance of 0.28m enables tighter framing
  • Manual focus ring provides smooth, precise control for stills and video
  • Twelve-blade diaphragm produces clean, rounded specular highlights
  • All-metal barrel gives consistent handling and long-term reliability
  • Electronic contacts transmit EXIF and support in-body stabilisation
  • Enables the use of three types of focusing support functions
  • Compact form factor with an included metal bayonet lens hood

Optics built for high-resolution sensors

Voigtlander’s Apo-Lanthar line delivers a premium shooting experience with crisp edges and images that snap into focus cleanly. The Voigtlander 28mm f2 Apo-Lanthar Lens follows the same path. The 8-group, 12-element design uses six abnormal partial-dispersion elements and two double-sided aspherics to keep colour and spherical aberrations under tight control. The high micro contrast helps when shooting scenes with fine texture, especially around f2.

The built-in floating mechanism stabilises the optical performance at shorter distances, so you don’t see the usual drop-off in contrast when working close to the minimum focusing distance of 0.28m. It gives the lens stability across its range, which is helpful for close tabletop scenes, interior work, or tight environmental portraits.

Bokeh and light control

With twelve blades forming an almost circular aperture, point light sources stay neat and well-defined even when stopped down for impressive bokeh. Voigtlander supplies a metal bayonet hood to minimise stray light and prevent flare and glare. It locks in cleanly and reverses for storage when you’re travelling light.

3-axis IBIS compatibility and precise focus

The Voigtlander 28 f2 Apo-Lanthar lens for Nikon Z has electronic contacts to provide Exif information, image stabilisation, and access to Nikon’s focus-assist tools with Z-mount cameras. Electronic contacts feed distance information back to the camera, enabling 3-axis in-body stabilisation. Compatibility with Nikon’s manual focus aids makes the lens quicker to handle in the field. It supports focusing with the focus point frame colour change, peaking, and the magnification button.

Compact build with the classic Voigtlander feel

The Voigtlander 28mm f2 Apo-Lanthar Lens has an all-metal construction, giving the lens a solid, precise handling characteristic without adding unnecessary size. At 60mm long and 68.8mm in diameter, it sits well on smaller bodies and balances naturally on mid-sized ones. It has the same compact footprint as the Apo-Lanthar 35mm f2, making the 28mm a natural companion in a two-prime kit.

FAQs:

How close can I focus, and does sharpness hold up at minimum distance?

The lens focuses down to 0.28m with a maximum magnification of 1:6.9. Thanks to the floating mechanism, sharpness remains stable at this distance, with good contrast and minimal chromatic aberration.

How well does the lens handle chromatic aberration?

The 28mm f2 Apo-Lanthar is built around an apochromatic design, using six elements of abnormal partial dispersion and two double-sided aspherics. In practice, this keeps colour fringing under control even around specular edges or high-contrast backlight. It stays clean at f2, and stopping down mainly improves depth of field rather than fixing optical flaws, which is characteristic of Voigtlander’s Apo lenses.

What filter size does the Voigtlander 28mm f2 Apo-Lanthar take?

The Voigtlander 28mm f2 Apo-Lanthar lens uses a 49 mm front thread. This keeps the filters small and reasonably priced, and it allows you to use standard ND or circular polarisers without adding noticeable bulk to the front of the lens.

Does the Voigtlander 28mm f2 Apo-Lanthar have autofocus?

No. The 28mm f2 Apo-Lanthar is a fully manual focus lens. It offers a smooth, consistent feel, and the long focus throw helps fine-tune focus at f.2. On supported Sony E and Nikon Z bodies, electronic contacts still allow features like focus magnification and stabilisation assistance, but all focusing itself is manual.

The Buy Now Pay Later option comprises a 36 month loan following a six month deferral period.

During the six-month deferral period, it is possible to pay off the loan, either by way of a lump sum or in smaller amounts. If the loan is partially repaid within six months, the remaining interest will be adjusted to reflect the new balance. If the loan is fully repaid within the six-month deferral period, then no interest is payable, however, a £29 early settlement fee is payable in respect of repayments within these six months.

Following the six-month deferral period, Novuna Personal Finance will initiate a monthly direct debit payment for the remaining duration of the loan. Interest will be charged at a rate of 18.9% APR (representative) on outstanding balances (backdated to the first date of the loan). Novuna Personal Finance will send a reminder letter approximately one month before the six-month deferral period is due to elapse.
