Vintage Image Quality
Inspired by the lenses and aesthetics of photography’s golden days, Voigtlander 50mm f1.5 VM Heliar Classic Lens for Leica M is a standard length prime lens that creates classically styled images. Whilst modern lenses are designed for maximum sharpness with substantial digital post-processing, this lens leaves some aberrations uncorrected for images with muted colours and a subtly soft vintage aesthetic that is painterly and artistic.
Focus With Precision
The Voigtlander 50mm f1.5 VM Heliar Classic Lens for Leica M is built with an all-metal focusing ring to provide users with an option for manual adjustments. To maximise precision, the adjustable ring benefits from a classic diamond pattern with an engraved crosshatch for incredibly smooth operation that is textured and doesn’t slip in either direction. Reinforcing Voigtlander’s tactile appeal is a 10 blade diaphragm that rounds light sources for natural and soft bokeh.
Compact and Lightweight
Despite its impressively large aperture, the Voigtlander 50mm f1.5 VM Heliar Classic Lens for Leica M is anything but big. This lens measures a mere 41.9mm in length and weighs only 255g, so you can handle and transport your lens with ease. Adding to the overall look of the lens is a signature nostalgic design reminiscent of the early photography days - so you can maintain a sleek and stylish setup that is both professional and easy on the eye.

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.
