Description — Voigtlander MACRO APO-LANTHAR 110mm f/2.5
The Voigtlander MACRO APO-LANTHAR 110mm f/2.5 is a manual focus, full-frame prime lens designed exclusively for the Sony E-mount mirrorless system. Classified as a Macro type lens in the Telephoto focal length range, it is built for photographers who prioritize precision and optical quality in close-up work. The f/2.5 maximum aperture is notably wide for a macro-dedicated optic, giving shooters more flexibility when working in constrained lighting or when dialing in a specific depth of field at close distances.
Focusing is entirely manual — there is no autofocus and no image stabilization — so the shooting experience demands deliberate, hands-on control. The 58mm filter thread provides a practical size for common filter accessories, and the lens weighs 771g, reflecting its substantial metal construction. Whether mounted on a full-frame or APS-C Sony E-mount body, the Full Frame image circle rating ensures full coverage without vignetting.
This is a dedicated tool for macro and close-up telephoto work on the Sony E-mount platform.
