Another new high-end wide-angle prime lens has just been released into the wild, and this one might be a real burner. The Voigtlander APO-LANTHAR 28mm f/2 Aspherical Lens is the latest in the company’s series of optically refined, apochromatic lenses, which should help shooters get some of the best color capture possible with their cameras.Designed for Leica M-mount camera systems (but with other options set to come), this could be a nice investment for a high-end photographer or videographer looking for elite capture specifications.
