Thank you for your continued patronage of Cosina products.

Cosina announced today that it will release the Voigtländer brand’s new Sony E-mount product, the APO-LANTHAR 28mm F2 Aspherical E-mount, in December 2025.

We will inform you again once the official release date has been decided.

Features
This wide-angle lens from the APO-LANTHAR series pursues ultimate performance by adopting an apochromatic design that minimizes axial chromatic aberration of the three primary colors of light, RGB. It combines the performance of the widest wide-angle lens in Voigtländer’s history with compactness and ease of handling.

Main Features

Sony E-mount compatible
Equipped with electronic contacts, the lens usage status is reflected in the Exif information of the shooting data. It also has a built-in distance encoder, which supports 5-axis image stabilization on the camera body. It also allows you to zoom in on the viewfinder by operating the focus ring.

Optimized Optical Design
In addition to ensuring a full-size image circle, the optical design is optimized for Sony E-mount sensors, maintaining high resolution all the way to the edges of the screen and suppressing phenomena such as color cast.

Apochromatic design
To accommodate today’s high-pixel digital sensors, axial chromatic aberration and lateral chromatic aberration have been thoroughly suppressed.

Manual focus for precise focusing
The all-metal helicoid unit is machined and adjusted with high precision, and the use of high-quality grease that generates just the right amount of torque ensures smooth focusing, allowing for subtle focus adjustments.

Aperture click switching mechanism
The lens is equipped with an aperture click switching mechanism that allows the aperture ring to be opened and closed continuously without making a clicking sound, eliminating the need to worry about the sound of the aperture ring being picked up when recording video.

*APO-LANTHAR is a designation given to Voigtländer lenses with particularly high performance. The legendary APO-LANTHAR lens, which has captivated photographers with its outstanding imaging performance and beautiful depictions thanks to its apochromatic design, was born in 1951. Its origins can be traced back some 120 years.
