Cosina is releasing the APO-LANTHAR 35mm f/2 Aspherical full-size (Nikon FX-format) mirrorless camera compatible lens adopted from the Foct Render brand. This product is developed and manufactured under a licensing agreement with Nikon, Inc.

APO-LANTHAR is a name given especially to high-performance products even among the lens of the Fort Renders, APO derives from Apochromart design. The Apochromart design, which brings limitless to zero top color gradation of RGB, which constitutes three raw colors of light, has been sought after by the advent of color film. Today’s high-pixelized digital sensors require extremely high control of color than it did when the film format changed from monochrome to color in the mid-20th century. Apochromart design is not an old technology already solved, but a topic that should be seriously tackled in the digital age.

Sometimes, an engineer’s dream of ultimate performance becomes a reality, and increasing lens size and weight isn’t connected to a photographer’s delight. We think the lens of the Foxtender should be superior in handling while achieving flawless optical performance. The APO-LANTHAR 35mm f/2 Aspherical’s ultimate optical performance and compactness of a full length 70.4mm and weight of 360g is one of its ideal forms, and it is now realizing a size feel almost the same as the APO-Lanthar 50mm f/2 Aspherical standard lens. In addition, the 12 holes of the barbed feathers adopt a special shape that can be shaped not only in the open f/2, but also in f/2.8 and f/5.6. It is possible to make use of “blurry” such as light sources.
