라일렌즈(Lailens)가 앞서 선보였던 35mm f/3.5 렌즈에 이어, 라이카 M마운트용 50mm f/1.5 키노 플라즈마트(Kino Plasmat) 렌즈를 마침내 정식으로 판매하기 시작했다. 이 렌즈는 이제 eBay를 통해 구매할 수 있으며, 블랙과 실버 두 가지 마감으로 출시되었다.
블랙·실버 두 가지 마감으로 eBay 판매 시작
이번에 판매가 시작된 렌즈는 블랙 버전과 실버 버전 각각 별도의 eBay 판매 페이지를 통해 직접 구매할 수 있다. 두 마감 모두 동일한 광학 설계를 공유하며, 사용자는 자신이 사용하는 라이카 M바디나 다른 M마운트 카메라의 외관에 맞춰 색상을 선택할 수 있다.
키노 플라즈마트 설계와 라일렌즈의 M마운트 라인업 확장
‘키노 플라즈마트(Kino Plasmat)’는 원래 영화 촬영용 렌즈에 쓰이던 고전 광학 설계 방식 중 하나로 알려져 있으며, 라일렌즈는 이 설계를 라이카 M마운트 및 L39(LTM) 스크루마운트 환경에 맞춰 재해석한 렌즈들을 꾸준히 내놓고 있다. 이번 50mm f/1.5 렌즈의 정식 판매는 순정 라이카 광학 제품 외에 개성 있는 대안을 찾는 레인지파인더 사용자들을 겨냥한 라일렌즈의 서드파티 M마운트 렌즈 라인업 확장의 연장선에 있다.
이 렌즈와 관련해서는 앞서 한정판 버전의 발표 소식이 전해진 바 있으며, M마운트와 L39마운트용 라일렌즈의 다른 제품들에 대한 소식도 함께 다뤄진 적이 있다.

Apochromatic design that eliminates chromatic aberration
Optical design optimized for digital image sensors
Compact form factor with a total length of 54.8mm
All-metal lens barrel offering high rigidity and durability
Manual focus for precise focusing control
Bayonet-style VM mount
High-precision rangefinder coupling mechanism
Minimum focusing distance of 0.5m
Click-stop at the rangefinder coupling limit
Main features of the Voigtlander Apo-Lanthar 90mm f/4 close focus VM lens:
Apochromatic design: We have thoroughly eliminated various aberrations, including axial chromatic aberration, while also pursuing ultimate performance in terms of resolution and contrast reproduction.
High performance & compact: The newly designed optical system uses anomalous partial dispersion glass in 6 of its 8 elements in 6 groups. Despite its high performance, the lens has a total length of 54.8mm (from the mount surface), eliminating vignetting in the shooting frame when using a rangefinder.
The minimum focusing distance is 0.5m: It can focus down to 0.5m, exceeding the rangefinder’s minimum focusing distance of 0.7m. This is particularly useful when shooting with cameras equipped with live view functionality.
Click the branching point of the rangefinder coupling range: It features a mechanism that lets you recognize the branching point of the rangefinder coupling range with a click while focusing.
Includes a dedicated metal hood: To maintain the flare-cutting effect while eliminating interference with the shooting frame when mounted, a dedicated metal lens hood is included, seamlessly integrated with the lens body and featuring a short protrusion of approximately 9mm.
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 and 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 precise focusing even at wide apertures.
Full-size image circle: It offers a generous image circle compatible with 35mm full-frame cameras.
Press release:
Cosina Co., Ltd. is releasing the APO-LANTHAR 90mm F4 Close Focus VM, a high-performance medium-telephoto lens designed exclusively for full-frame VM-mount cameras under the Voigtländer brand.
The APO-LANTHAR 90mm F4 Close Focus VM is a high-performance manual-focus medium-telephoto lens optimized for full-frame M-mount sensors. Its apochromatic design thoroughly eliminates various aberrations—including axial chromatic aberration—while pursuing the ultimate in resolution and contrast reproduction. While adopting an F4 maximum aperture—typical of traditional 90mm rangefinder lenses—it achieves uncompromising optical performance by utilizing anomalous partial dispersion glass for six of the eight elements in its luxurious seven-group configuration. Thanks to a simple extension mechanism and the F4 aperture, the lens maintains a compact total length of just 54.8mm from the mount surface. Weighing only 235g, it offers excellent portability and eliminates viewfinder blockage (vignetting) when using optical rangefinders. Equipped with a high-precision rangefinder coupling mechanism and an all-metal helicoid that provides a silky-smooth operating feel, this lens allows photographers to fully enjoy the authentic experience of focusing with a traditional rangefinder. It achieves a minimum focusing distance of 0.5m—extending beyond the standard 0.7m rangefinder coupling limit (which varies by camera)—thanks to a straight-extension helicoid design. It offers a maximum magnification of 0.28x (surpassing “quarter-macro” capability), and the apochromatic design ensures no image quality degradation during close-up shooting.
The lens features a mechanism that provides a tactile click to indicate the transition point of the rangefinder coupling range. Two exterior finishes are available: silver and black. It comes with a dedicated metal lens hood designed to integrate seamlessly with the lens body; with a projection of only about 9mm, it effectively cuts flare while avoiding interference with the image frame during shooting.
The first hands-on review of the lens can be found here:
보익에서 90미리 망원렌즈를 내놓았습니다.
F4 로 다소 어두운 망원렌즈인데, 컨셉이 독특하네요.
살짝 어둡지만 컴팩트한 크기에 아포렌즈, 그리고 0.5mm 최소초점거리까지 갖췄습니다.
느낌이 왠지 화질은 끝내줄 것 같은 느낌이네요 ㅎ
최근에는 중국 브랜드 신제품만 많았는데 오랜만에 출시한 보익 렌즈라서 반가운 것 같습니다.

Brightin Star will launch a new APO M 35mm f/1.7 ASPH lens for Leica M-mount on Kickstarter. The campaign is expected to launch in the middle of August:
Advanced Optical Design: APO apochromatic correction with 3 high-precision double-sided aspherical elements and dual floating groups, delivering exceptional sharpness even wide open.
Outstanding Performance: Minimum focusing distance of 0.3m and an ultra-long 307° focus throw (cinema-level precision) for accurate manual control and high-resolution results from wide aperture.
Ergonomic Design: Classic tiger-claw focus ring for smooth handling, paired with a compact metal lens hood to effectively reduce flare.
This product is currently under development. Final specifications and performance are subject to the actual production model.

After the 35mm f/2 “Seven Elements”, Mandler will release a new 50mm f/1.4 PRE-ASPH “E46” lens for Leica M-mount based on the legendary Leica SUMMILUX‑M 1:1.4/50 PRE‑ASPH lens designed by Dr. Walter Mandler:
“In the world of Leica’s 50mm lenses, one optic has been the subject of conversation for more than half a century—the SUMMILUX‑M 1:1.4/50 PRE‑ASPH.
Back in the 1960s, when computers had yet to enter the realm of optical design and aspherical elements were still a rarity, a lens was born purely from the designer’s hand calculations and a deep, intuitive feel for glass. Such was the genesis of the Summilux‑M 1:1.4/50 E43.
As the gears of time turned into the 1990s, computer technology had become ubiquitous in optical design, and multi‑coating techniques had matured considerably. Through optimisation and refinement of the E43, Leica delivered its ultimate spherical answer to the standard 50mm Summilux: the 1:1.4/50 E46.
It carried forward the classic optical framework of the E43, yet introduced numerous thoughtful enhancements. In many ways, it struck a perfect equilibrium between sheer optical quality and distinctive character—achieving near‑aspherical resolution with a spherical construction, while retaining the uniquely alluring bokeh that spherical lenses are celebrated for.
To bring this legacy back to the hands of today’s photographers, we have meticulously refined it through four optical revisions and five rounds of prototyping, polishing every element until it sang.
The result is the Mandler 50mm f/1.4 E46 PRE‑A.
More details will unfold over the course of this month. The Mandler 50mm f/1.4 E46 PRE‑A will officially greet you in July—stay tuned.”
“라이카의 50mm 렌즈 세계에서 하나의 광학 렌즈인 SUMMILUX-M 1:1.4/50 PRE-ASPH는 반세기 넘게 화제가 되어 왔습니다.
1960년대 컴퓨터가 아직 광학 설계의 영역에 진입하지 못하고 비구면 요소가 여전히 드물었던 시절, 디자이너의 손으로 계산한 렌즈와 유리에 대한 깊고 직관적인 느낌이 탄생했습니다. 이것이 바로 Summilux-M 1:1.4/50 E43의 탄생이었습니다.
1990년대로 접어들면서 컴퓨터 기술은 광학 설계에서 보편화되었고, 다중 코팅 기술은 상당히 성숙해졌습니다. 라이카는 E43의 최적화와 개선을 통해 표준 50mm Sumilux, 즉 1:1.4/50 E46에 대한 궁극적인 구형 해답을 제시했습니다.
E43의 고전적인 광학 프레임워크를 발전시켰지만, 수많은 사려 깊은 개선 사항을 도입했습니다. 여러 면에서 순수한 광학 품질과 독특한 특성 사이의 완벽한 균형을 이루었으며, 구형 구조로 거의 비구면 해상도를 달성하면서도 구형 렌즈가 자랑하는 독특한 매력적인 보케를 유지했습니다.
이 유산을 오늘날의 사진작가들에게 다시 전달하기 위해, 우리는 네 번의 광학 수정과 다섯 번의 프로토타이핑을 통해 세심하게 다듬어 모든 요소를 노래할 때까지 연마했습니다.
그 결과 맨들러 50mm f/1.4 E46 PRE-A가 탄생했습니다.
자세한 내용은 이번 달에 공개될 예정입니다. 맨들러 50mm f/1.4 E46 PRE-A는 7월에 공식적으로 출시될 예정이니 많은 관심 부탁드립니다.”
폴라에 이어서 7매옥 카피버전을 출시해서 인기몰이 중인 맨들러에서 50.4 PRE-ASPH 버전을 내놓으려나 봅니다.
폴라에서 제작시 워낙에 인정받았던 7매옥이었는데, 맨들러에서 자체적으로 새롭게 내놓는 50.4 는 어떨지..
