The lens is developed through a collaboration between Shenzhen-based 7Artisans and Shanghai Seagull Digital Camera Co., Ltd. (China’s oldest camera manufacturer, famous for its TLR cameras):
On June 5th, 2026, Light Lens Lab will announce a new 75mm f/1.5 Z21 lens for Leica M-mount, further expanding the distinctive “Z21” series (a modern homage to the rare 1950s/60s Angénieux S21) to a 75mm focal length.
The Z21 line uses high-refractive-index, lanthanide-infused glass to recreate vintage character while improving contrast and usability. Expect a 10-blade (or similar) diaphragm for smooth bokeh, aluminum construction for lightweight (~300-350g), a minimum focus distance of ~0.7m, full-frame coverage, vintage-inspired with classic engraved markings, yet usable on modern digital Leica cameras.
이전에 보고된 바와 같이, 라이트 렌즈 랩은 현재 라이트 렌즈 랩 50mm f/1.5 Z21과 동일한 렌더링과 특성을 유지하면서 초점 거리가 추가된 “Z21” 시리즈 M 마운트 렌즈를 계속 개발할 예정입니다.
2026년 6월 5일, 라이트 렌즈 랩은 라이카 M 마운트를 위한 새로운 75mm f/1.5 Z21 렌즈를 발표하며, 독특한 “Z21” 시리즈(희귀한 1950년대/60년대 앙제니외 S21에 대한 현대적인 오마주)를 75mm 초점 거리로 더욱 확장할 예정입니다.
Z21 라인은 고굴절률 란타넘이 주입된 유리를 사용하여 빈티지한 캐릭터를 재현하면서 대비와 사용성을 향상시킵니다. 부드러운 보케를 위한 10블레이드(또는 유사한) 다이어프램, 경량을 위한 알루미늄 구조(약 300~350g), 최소 초점 거리 약 0.7m, 풀 프레임 커버리지, 클래식한 각인 표시로 빈티지에서 영감을 받았지만 현대 디지털 라이카 카메라에서 사용할 수 있습니다.

Z21 이라고 하길래, 이미 나왔던거 아니야? 하고 봤더니
렌더링은 유지하면서 화각만 늘린 형태인가 봅니다.
이번에 75미리 화각으로 출시하나 보군요.
LLL 에서 최근에 무언가 울궈먹기? 식으로 개발하는 건 아닌가 싶기도 합니다.
하우징은 리지드를 가져다 쓰면서 렌더링은 다른 걸 쓴다던지.. 이번에는 렌더링은 유지하면서 화각만 바꾼다던지..

The Light Lens Lab 50mm f/1.9 “Rigid-ZS6” is the newest addition to the Rigid Series, combining the classic 50mm f/1.9 “Super-Six” optical formula (6 elements in 4 groups, double-Gaussian design with full-frame 135 coverage) with the proven mechanical platform of the existing 50mm f/2 Rigid lens to deliver the original’s expressive bokeh and classical color rendering while boosting center sharpness for modern digital sensors. It is offered in two versions: the standard Rigid-ZS6 and a low-contrast Rigid-ZS6* (marked with an asterisk on the front ring) that provides greater highlight/shadow detail and a more film-like tonal response based on community feedback. The lens features an f/1.9 maximum aperture with a preset diaphragm and half-stop clicks, a compact build measuring just 45 mm long × 54 mm in diameter and weighing approximately 263 g, a brass outer barrel with aluminum/brass internals, M-mount quick-change bayonet, 0.7 m to infinity focus range, E39 filter thread, and compatibility with an optional A42 clip-on hood.
The 50mm f/1.9 “Rigid-ZS6” is a reinterpretation of the original “Super-Six” optical formula, paired with the established mechanical platform of the 50mm f/2 “Rigid.” It is designed to preserve the unique rendering characteristics of the original lens while improving usability and performance on modern digital systems.

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.
