Voigtlander 50mm f2.2 Color-Skopar VM Lens for Leica M - Black

The COLOR-SKOPAR 50mm f2.2 is a manual focus standard lens optimised for full-size VM mount sensors. Cosina lens designers succeeded in reducing the exterior lens barrel length to only 30mm despite this being a 50mm f2.2 standard lens. High-performance optics using 7 elements in 6 groups, including 3 elements of anomalous partial dispersion glass, achieve excellent optical performance even wide open at f2.2. The minimum rangefinder close focus is 0.7 meters. This 50mm f2.2 lens is compact and lightweight, making it an ideal travel lens.

Lightweight Compact Standard Lens with Outstanding Performance

The Voigtländer COLOR-SKOPAR 50mm f2.2 provides a coupled rangefinder focusing on VM rangefinder cameras. The silky feel of the metal helicoid gives the satisfaction of precision mechanical rangefinder focusing. The minimum rangefinder focusing distance is 0.7m (depending on the camera). The 50mm f2.2’s focusing tab is shaped for easy fingertip access, enabling quick and reliable focusing despite its compact size. With practice, memorising the focusing tab position and the distance scale will allow approximate scale focusing without looking at the lens barrel distance sale. Two exterior finishes are available: black or silver chrome. It includes a compact, straight-type lens hood that matches the lens barrel and is designed not to block the rangefinder viewing window. With the hood removed, the overall length from the lens mount to the filter ring is only an ultra-compact 30 mm. Filter size is the compact and rangefinder popular 39mm.

COLOR-SKOPAR 50mm f2.2 VM

The COLOR-SKOPAR 50mm f2.2 optics are optimised for use with film or digital VM rangefinder-coupled cameras and mirrorless digital cameras through a lens mount adapter. Lens adapters allow use on various camera platforms beyond the scope of rangefinder cameras.
