Cosina to Release New Mid-Telephoto Lens Combining APO Performance and Compactness on May 27

Cosina Co., Ltd. (Nakano City, Nagano Prefecture) announced the release of the "APO-SKOPAR 75mm F2.8 VM," a new Leica M-mount compatible lens under the Voigtländer brand, scheduled for May 27, 2026. The suggested retail price is 99,000 JPY (tax included). This product is a manual focus mid-telephoto lens optimized for full-frame M-mount sensors. By utilizing a simple extension structure and setting the maximum aperture to F2.8, it achieves a compact size comparable to a standard lens, with a 43mm filter diameter and a total length of 44mm. The newly designed optical system uses four elements of anomalous partial dispersion glass out of seven elements in six groups, achieving high image quality through an apochromatic design that minimizes axial chromatic aberration. Weighing only 191g, it offers excellent portability and eliminates viewfinder blockage on rangefinder cameras. The all-metal lens barrel provides a silky operating feel through a high-precision helicoid. The minimum focusing distance is 0.7m. It can also be mounted on Sony E, Fujifilm X, and Nikon Z cameras via optional adapters. Available in silver and black, it comes with a dedicated metal dome-shaped hood.
