It emphasizes portability, high image quality, and strong autofocus, precisely filling a gap in the domestic autofocus lens market. Key Highlights: High Image Quality: Center/Edge Resolution is close to or even better than Sony lenses of the same specifications. Excellent control over chromatic aberration and distortion, more accurate color reproduction, and outstanding flare performance. Portable and Lightweight: Internal zoom design, compact size, stable center of gravity, significantly lighter than traditional 24-70mm F2.8 lenses, suitable for extended carrying and everyday creative work. Powerful Autofocus Performance: AFS/AFC autofocus speed and accuracy are close to Sony’s, remaining stable and reliable even in low light. High Cost-Effectiveness: Only about half the price of Sony’s comparable products, and also supports Type-C firmware upgrades. Exquisitely designed and practical: textured rubber ring, gold nameplate, stepped aperture ring, and customizable FN key, balancing aesthetics and control.

All-metal lens barrel offering exceptional rigidity and durability
Manual focus for precise and reliable focusing control
Bayonet-type VM mount
High-precision rangefinder coupling mechanism
Full-frame image circle
Price: ¥90,000
Release date: May 2026
Apochromatic design
It employs an apochromatic design that brings the axial chromatic aberration of RGB, which constitutes the three primary colors of light, as close to zero as possible.
High performance & compact
The newly designed optical system uses anomalous partial dispersion glass in four of its six groups and seven elements. Despite its high performance, the lens has a total length of 44mm (from the mount surface), eliminating vignetting in the shooting frame when using a rangefinder.
Includes a dedicated metal dome-shaped hood.
The included metal screw-in lens hood is specially designed, resulting in a remarkably short protrusion of just 3mm when attached, eliminating interference with the shooting frame.
Manual focus allows for precise focusing.
The all-metal helicoid unit, machined and adjusted with high precision, and the use of high-quality grease that produces just the right amount of torque, enable smooth focusing operation and allow for precise focus adjustments.
Bayonet-type VM mount
The lens mount uses a VM mount compatible with the Leica M mount.
Equipped with a rangefinder coupling system.
The high-precision rangefinder coupling mechanism allows for precise focusing even at wide apertures.
Full-size image circle
It has a generous image circle that is compatible with 35mm full-frame cameras.
Press release:
Cosina Co., Ltd. is pleased to announce the release of the APO-SKOPAR 75mm F2.8 VM—a medium telephoto lens designed exclusively for full-frame VM mounts—under the Voigtländer brand.
The APO-SKOPAR 75mm F2.8 VM is a manual-focus medium telephoto lens optimized for full-frame M-mount sensors. Its newly designed optical system incorporates four elements made of anomalous partial dispersion glass within a 7-element, 6-group configuration. In addition to delivering high image quality through an apochromatic design that brings axial chromatic aberration as close to zero as possible, the lens achieves a level of compactness comparable to a standard lens—measuring just 44mm in length from the mount and featuring a 43mm filter diameter—thanks to a simple structure involving full-lens extension and a maximum aperture kept to a modest F2.8. Weighing in at a mere 191g, the lens offers exceptional portability while simultaneously eliminating viewfinder blockage (vignetting) within the shooting frame when used with an optical rangefinder.
This lens is designed primarily for use with rangefinder-coupled digital and film cameras. Equipped with a high-precision rangefinder coupling mechanism, it allows users to savor the true pleasure of focusing via a traditional optical rangefinder, complemented by the silky-smooth operational feel of its all-metal helicoid ring. The minimum focusing distance—coupled to the rangefinder—is 0.7m (though this may vary depending on the specific camera body used).
Furthermore, the lens can be mounted on Sony E-mount, Fujifilm X-mount, and Nikon Z-mount digital cameras via our dedicated mount adapters. It is available in two exterior finishes: Silver and Black. Included with the lens is a dedicated dome-shaped metal hood, designed with an extremely short protrusion of just 3mm to ensure it does not obstruct the shooting frame when attached.

볼은 명품 및 전략 경영 분야에서 폭넓은 경험을 쌓았습니다. 그는 스위스의 명품 시계 제조업체인 IWC 샤프하우젠에서 15년간 근무하며 최고운영책임자(COO)로 승진했습니다. 그 전에는 롤랑 버거에서 기업 컨설팅으로 경력을 쌓기 시작했습니다. 2023년에는 고정 기술을 전문으로 하는 글로벌 기업 피셔 그룹의 CEO로 잠시 재직하기도 했습니다.
라이카의 대주주이자 감독위원회 의장인 안드레아스 카우프만 박사에 따르면 볼은 프리미엄 기술, 브랜드 관리, 기업 개발 등 국제 경영 전문성을 인정받아 선정되었습니다. 볼 자신도 이 상징적인 회사를 이끌게 되어 “큰 영광”이라며 열정을 표명했습니다. 디지털 및 네트워크 이미징 솔루션 확장, 프리미엄 제품 라인업 강화, 글로벌 영업 및 소매 네트워크 강화 등이 그의 최우선 과제입니다.
다음은 라이카 카메라 AG의 새로운 CEO 안드레아스 볼과 그의 임명이 무엇을 의미하는지 요약한 것입니다:
라이카의 리더십 변화
안드레아스 볼은 2026년 4월 1일에 CEO가 됩니다.
그는 2017년부터 라이카를 이끌었던 마티아스 하르쉬를 대신합니다.
하쉬 치하에서 라이카는 기록적인 매출을 달성하고 사진 및 광학 분야에서 프리미엄 브랜드 포지셔닝을 강화했습니다.
안드레아스 볼이 누구인지
배경: 명품 및 기술 산업에서 경험이 풍부한 관리자.
이전 역할:
스위스 명품 시계 제조업체 IWC 샤프하우젠의 COO.
2023년부터 산업 기업 피셔 그룹의 CEO.
컨설팅 회사 롤랜드 버거에서의 초기 경력.
라이카가 그를 선택한 이유
회사와 회장인 안드레아스 카우프만에 따르면 볼이 선정되었습니다:
럭셔리 브랜드 관리 경험
기술 및 디지털 혁신 전문성
회사를 국제적으로 확장할 수 있는 능력.
라이카는 이번 임명이 리더십을 위한 ‘재생’ 전략을 반영한다고 명시적으로 밝혔습니다.
Voll에 따른 전략적 우선순위
초기 징후에 따르면 그는 다음에 집중할 것입니다:
디지털 확장: 라이카의 기술 생태계(예: 스마트폰 및 이미징 기술) 강화.
소매업 성장: 미국(시카고, 휴스턴)과 유럽에 잠재적인 매장을 포함하여 더 많은 글로벌 라이카 매장.
프리미엄 포지셔닝 유지
하이엔드 카메라와 럭셔리 브랜딩에 대한 라이카의 전략을 이어갑니다.
업데이트 – 이제 공식 보도 자료가 나왔습니다:
안드레아스 볼, 2026년 4월 1일부로 라이카 카메라 AG의 최고 경영자 임명
베츨라르, 독일, 2026년 3월 16일 – 라이카 카메라 AG의 감독위원회가 안드레아스 볼을 2026년 4월 1일부로 회사의 새로운 최고경영자(CEO)로 임명했습니다. 그는 2017년부터 회사를 성공적으로 이끌어온 마티아스 하르쉬의 뒤를 이었습니다.
라이카의 CEO 까지 신경 쓸 일은 아니지만, 그의 부임 관련 기사를 보면 앞으로 라이카의 방향성에 대해서 어느정도 유추를 할 수 있겠더군요. 유럽과 미국 시장에 여전히 노력을 기하는 듯 보이고, 샤오미와의 협업 강화를 통해 스마트폰 시장에 계속 집중할 것 같습니다. 카메라 시장에서 뭔가 확실함을 보여줄지는..?

Lens makers Funleader and Mr. Ding have teamed up again to deliver a new Contax G to Leica M Conversion Kit, this time for the legendary Contax 28mm f/2.8 Zeiss Biogon T* lens.
Co-developed in the 1990s by Contax and Zeiss, the Contax G system rangefinder cameras stand out in large part for their autofocusing capabilities, a rare feature for rangefinder cameras. However, the cameras themselves have generally become niche, despite favor with celebrities like Sabrina Carpenter and “Marty Supreme” star Odessa A’Zion, the Contax G lenses remain beloved, regular targets for adapting to other camera systems. There are plenty of adapters to put Contax G lenses on full-frame mirrorless cameras, for example, including from well-known brands like Fotodiox and Kipon.
However, adapting Contax G lenses to other rangefinders, like the nearly ubiquitous Leica M System cameras, is more complicated. It is not a matter of simply bridging the gap between the G and M mounts. Putting a Contax G autofocus rangefinder lens on a Leica M-Mount rangefinder requires replacing the Contax lens’s autofocus helicoid with the rangefinder-coupled helicoid Leica cameras require. This is precisely what the new kit enables, and it promises to convert the Contax G 28mm f/2.8 lens to Leica M without destroying any of the original components.
The non-destructive conversion kit doesn’t alter the lens’s optics or the mount. The installation process requires a screwdriver, a paper clip, and a rubber wrench. As the video below shows, it will take time and care, and it requires removing the entire lens group from the lens so it can be placed inside the helicoid assembly.
The new conversion kit is built from brass and aluminum to match the build quality of the original design while remaining lightweight and durable.
Funleader and Mr. Ding began this project back in 2019 with the release of their first conversion kit for the Contax 35mm f/2 Planar prime. They then followed it up in 2021 with a conversion kit for the popular Contax 45mm f/2 Planar. Finally, with the wide-angle 28mm f/2.8 Biogon supported, the companies have covered three very practical, beloved lenses and focal lengths for a wide range of photographic applications. It is worth noting that Funleader released a revised G35 v2 Conversion Kit late last year, featuring a new focusing mechanism and improved internal design based on user feedback. Funleader and Mr. Ding say they are open to conversion kits for other focal lengths.
The new Contax G28 Conversion Kit is available now for $469 in the United States. Prices in other regions may be less.
이미 유명한 G35, G45 컨버전 키트에 이어서 드디어 G28 용 컨버전 키트가 나왔군요.
역시 이번에도 Mr. Ding 과 Funleader 의 협업 결과로 탄생했습니다.
G1 에서 45 미리 말고는 사용빈도가 떨어지는데… 28 미리를 그냥 M마운트로 바꿔볼까도 싶네요.
