The Voigtländer 110mm f/2.5 Macro APO-Lanthar lens is a premium quality lens that excels in image quality and sharpness. With manual focus and a slightly longer reach and brighter aperture than traditional macro lenses, it is an excellent option for macro and portrait photography. Although the lens is heavy and lacks weather sealing, the build quality is top-notch, and the smooth, well-damped metallic focus ring allows for precise manual focusing. The 10-blade aperture creates distinctive, soft bokeh, and the lens shows little to no chromatic aberration. However, the lens struggles slightly with focus breathing. In terms of image quality, it performs exceptionally well on both full-frame and apsc cameras, with razor-sharp images and minimal distortion or vignetting. The lens also performs well against light, with minimal flaring and no loss of contrast. Overall, the Voigtländer 110mm f/2.5 Macro APO-Lanthar lens is an outstanding option for macro and portrait photography, with exceptional sharpness and image quality, and distinctive bokeh, making it highly recommended despite the slight quirks in handling due to its incredible optics and image quality.
