A compact and versatile lens, the black 50mm f/2.2 Color-Skopar VM Lens from Voigtlander is a standard prime designed for M-mount rangefinder cameras. The lens's 10-bladed diaphragm and bright f/2.2 maximum aperture easily create flattering bokeh around your subject. Its optical design incorporates seven elements in six groups, including three anomalous partial dispersion glass elements, for achieving excellent optical performance and reduced chromatic aberration. Its manual focus design permits working with subjects as close as 1.6' away. An optional removable lens hood is available to shield the front lens element to minimize flare and ghosting. The hood matches the lens barrel and doesn't interfere with the rangefinder viewing window. When removed, the overall length of the lens from the filter ring to the lens mount is 30mm. A popular 39mm filter thread avails plentiful options for attaching filters.

Q: 3. Can I use this lens with Canon or micro 4/3?

A: The Voigtlander Color-Skopar 21mm f/4 P Lens, B&H # VO2140M, is designed for use on cameras with the Leica M-mount lens mount. We have no lens adapter that is designed to allow you to connect a Leica M-mount lens onto a Canon EF lens mount. However, the Panasonic DMW-MA2M Leica M Mount Adapter for Leica Lenses and Lumix G Micro System Cameras, B&H # PADMWMA2M, the Metabones Leica M Lens to Micro Four Thirds Camera Mount Adapter (Black), B&H # MELMM43BT2, or the FotodioX Leica M Pro Lens Adapter for Micro Four Thirds Cameras, B&H # FOPMFTALM, would allow you to connect the above lens to the Micro Four Thirds lens mount.
