Voigtlander 75mm f/2.5 Color-Heliar (silver) | $323.95 | | |
At the telephoto end of the Voigtländer lens line is the 75mm Color-Heliar. Perhaps the only L screw-mount 75mm lens introduced since W.W.II, this lens's classic styling harolds back to what many refer to as "the good old days" of photography. This very
compact moderate telephoto uses a high quality SD (super-low dispersion) glass element for high contrast and resolution.
The rear elements and barrel do not protrude too far back, so there is no risk of contact with the shutter curtain or interference
with any metering systems on Leica L screw- mounted cameras or with an L-M adapter on the M6, M5, CL or CLE.
This new Voigtländer lens shares common lineage with the already available 15mm Heliar and 25mm Skopar lenses. It features an all-metal lens
barrel construction, a Leica compatible L screw-mount and a 10 bladed aperture (which creates very pleasing out-of-focus highlights). Unlike its wider-angle counterparts, the Color-Heliar 75mm lens incorporates a rangefinder calibrated rear-focus helicoid
, which makes it easier to focus with classic rangefinder cameras from Leica, Contax and Nikon. All lenses have a "click-stop" on the aperture movement at half-stop intervals making subtle adjustments in exposure or depth-of-field easy.
