Voigtlander 50mm f/1.5 Heliar Classic VM Lens for Leica M Summary
The new Voigtländer Heliar Classic 50mm f/1.5 VM is the latest addition to their extensive . Designed to accommodate a wide range of subjects, this standard lens is specifically for full-frame .
This 50mm f/1.5 Heliar Classic lens has been designed to create a classically styled image at wide open apertures by intentionally not correcting for certain optical aberrations. This image effect is painterly and subtle compared to images created with modern lenses. The look is often strived for by photographers when creating cinematic or nostalgic styled images with a less clinical feel.
By leaving both coma and spherical aberrations uncorrected, Â has created a genuine classic image rendering rather than images created with digital post-processing. Not every subject demands maximum sharpness and saturation, some require and deserve a more delicate touch. This unique Heliar look cannot be obtained with modern lenses that over correct all optical aberrations.
