New Voigtlander SE (Still Edition) Series 50mm f/1.2, 40mm f/1.2, and 35mm f/1.2 Officially Announced

A compact size and large aperture are achieved by a design concept specialized for still photography. By using two double-sided aspherical lenses, it has the performance that can be used with peace of mind even after opening the aperture, and the largest amount of blurring in the SE series can be obtained. The large-diameter yet compact style is well balanced with the body and provides good handling.

Main features
● Sony E mount compatible. Equipped with electronic contacts, the Exif information in the shooting data reflects the lens usage status. In addition, the built-in distance encoder supports 5-axis camera shake correction on the camera body side. You can also magnify the viewfinder by operating the focus ring.

● simple and compact style specialized in shooting in still photography, that they do not dare mount an effective aperture click switching mechanism in a full-fledged movie shooting, a compact design with a large diameter. A simple and precise parallel knurling process is used on the outer circumference of the helicoid ring.

● beautiful blur by 12 aperture blades to approximate the aperture blades form holes in a circular, it adopted the aperture of the 12-lens configuration. The out-focus part has a natural depiction, and the point light source is not polygonal but round and soft.

● Optimized optical design: A full-size image circle is secured and an optimized optical design for Sony E-mount sensor is adopted. High resolution is maintained up to the periphery of the screen, and phenomena such as color fog are also suppressed.

● Excellent optical performance, 4 aspherical surfaces By making both surfaces of two lenses of the eight-lens configuration aspherical, both high image quality and large aperture are achieved.

● Manual focus for reliable focusing: The all-metal helicoid unit, which is processed and adjusted with high accuracy, and the high-quality grease that produces an appropriate torque, realize a smooth operation-like focusing. It enables fine focus adjustment.

● Outstanding optical performance 4 aspherical surfaces are adopted. Two of the 8 lens elements are made aspherical surfaces to achieve both high image quality and large aperture.

● The versatile angle of view of 40 mm is equivalent to 60 mm for APS-C size cameras, so it is possible to handle both full size and APS-C sizes as standard lenses.

● Manual focus for reliable focusing Focusing with a smooth operation feel is achieved by using a helicoid unit made of metal that has been processed and adjusted with high precision, and high-quality grease that produces moderate torque. It enables fine focus adjustment.
