    Overview

    The Voigtländer Macro APO-Lanthar SL 125mm f/2.5 is a legendary manual-focus macro lens produced by Cosina from 2001 to 2007, known for exceptional build quality with a smooth, damped focus ring and metal construction. Optically, it delivers excellent sharpness from f/2.5 to f/8, very low distortion, and virtually no lateral chromatic aberrations. However, longitudinal chromatic aberrations can be visible at close distances, and extreme corners may be soft on larger sensors. It suits photographers seeking a high-performance macro lens for product or close-up work, willing to pay premium used prices ($1,200–$1,800).
