Product details

Committed to the highest quality, these lenses support the latest camera technologies with high precision mechanics. The brand new Voigtländer lenses can be used on Sony E-Mount cameras without an adapter.

In the tradition of Voigtländer, the first three lenses of this new line cover an extreme wide-angle range, making them perfect for landscape and architecture photographers.

While the 12 mm and 15 mm lenses are already available with a VM-Mount, the 10 mm focal length is completely new. These extreme wide lenses require fast and smooth communication between the lens, camera, and photographer, which is extremely important. When enabled, the camera automatically switches to magnifying mode during focusing, allowing for the highest accuracy. All lens-relevant data, such as focal length, aperture, and focal distance, are transmitted to the camera. This data is displayed in the viewfinder and used for metering and image stabilization.

The selective aperture control system for full frame is used for the first time in these lenses, a vital feature for filmmakers as it allows for stepless and soundless aperture control.

Das Superweitwinkel mit Daten-Übertragung für Objektivkorrekturen in Sony-Kameras wird manuell fokussiert. Abgeblendet schafft es eine gute Auflösung.

Das dritte Superweitwinkel für den Sony-KB-Sensor beginnt immerhin bereits bei Blende 4,5 und kostet 850 Euro. Erneut ist die Bildmitte bei offener Blende sehr gut und der Randabfall krass. Blende 9 senkt dann die Werte für die Bildmitte wie den Randabfall. Von den drei lichtschwachen Voigtländern ist das 15er das beste, doch erneut reicht es nicht für eine Empfehlung.
