Description
With the PORTRAIT HELIAR 75 mm F1.8 we present an extraordinary, fast portrait lens for the full format – exclusively for Canon RF mount. It is a Voigtländer full-frame interchangeable lens that is equipped with a mechanism for targeted control of spherical aberration and thus opens up completely new creative possibilities in image composition.
A lens for expressive portrait photography
The development focused on the interplay between spherical aberration and bokeh. A specially developed control ring can be used to specifically set under- and over-correction – and thus create completely different bokeh characteristics:
Undercorrection: Soft focus with gentle halos, dreamlike creamy background bokeh
Overcorrection: Clearly defined focus point with striking, bubble-like bokeh
What has long been considered a flaw in classic optics is deliberately used here as a means of creative expression. The PORTRAIT HELIAR was designed from the ground up to make creative use of these properties.
Classic design, modern innovation
Despite its compact Heliar design with 6 lenses in 3 groups, the lens achieves an impressive speed of F1.8. Changes in spherical aberration are usually accompanied by focus shifts – Voigtländer counters this effect with a sophisticated mechanism that adjusts the lens distance in sync with the position of the control ring and keeps the focus position stable.
A discreet, tactile marking on the control ring makes it possible to feel the set correction range – ideal for intuitive working.
Precision you can feel
The lens is made entirely of metal and impresses with the highest mechanical quality. The high-precision metal helicoid is specially greased and ensures silky smooth, even focus movement – even at open aperture and minimal depth of field.
