With a length of 50.0mm from the mount surface, the lens is even shorter than the previously released APO-LANTHAR 35 mm F2 Aspherical VM semi-wide-angle lens.
The 12-blades are close to circular and render bokeh from point light sources in a straightforward manner.
The high-precision rangefinder-linked mechanism and the silky feel of the all-metal helicoid ring allow the photographer to experience the real pleasure of focusing using a traditional optical rangefinder.
The minimum focusing distance linked to the rangefinder is 0.7m (depending on the camera attached), from which the helicoid can be extended to 0.5m.
Floating lens elements ensure high performance even when shooting at close range.
