I have for sale an excellent condition Voigtlander Apo Lanthar 3.5/90mm SL close focus lens,
the rarest version for Nikon mount. Comes in original makers box with papers. Don't need two though.



This really outstanding lens has gotten a lot of attention recently (I plead guilty also...), due to its contrast,
sharpness, lack of CA (chromatic aberrations) even on a D3X and its ability to focus close up.

Test Report is here:

It is ideal also for mounting on a Canon EOS 5D or similar since it covers full format easily with tack sharpness + contrast as

This is a fantastic lens for anyone who plans to make large prints, the resolving power is plenty for largest full-frame sensors. I paid mine back with two sold prints, highly recommended lens and seller is one I can thoroughly recommend, having purchased from Klaus before.

Thanks Vilhelm for the kind words! Indeed an outstanding lens as well as its brothers (125mm Makro, 180mm)
which made me even sell my new Zeiss 2/100mm!

Confirm Klaus is a super seller

About the lens, in my last model session I used it at the same time as the Planar 2/100, Planar 1.4/85, and S-Planar 2.8/60, and it proved to be the sharpest of them all - by far. I could take a crop of the 10% of the surface of a 5DII raw file shot with the Apo-Lanthar, and easily make of it a 13x20 cm sharp print.

My Apo-Lanthar comes from Klaus, too.

Thanks for the kind words Orio!

Indeed that lens is an outstanding performer and now I see more and more D3X users longing for one since that lens can satisfy even the need of that sensor.

Yes, the more large sensor Nikon user amount grows, the more grows need for aberration-free lenses that outperform standard sensors. So, if it is of any comfort to you Razz there is only one direction for aftermarket price of this discontinued lens and it is up, up, up...
