Voigtlander celebrates 100 years
Voigtlander releases special 100th anniversary Color-Skopar 35mm f/2.5 lens for Leica users.
“Voigtländer is celebrating 100 years of its legendary Skopar lens with a rather beautiful special edition of one of its most recognizable optics”
Elegant silver redesign

“The new Color-Skopar 35mm f/2.5 Skopar 100th model takes the tried-and-tested formula of the long-running Color-Skopar 35mm f/2.5 P II and gives it an elegant silver makeover”
Compact design for Leica
Measuring 23mm in length, the lens fits perfectly on Leica M cameras with a tactile focusing lever and precise aperture ring.
“Measuring just 23mm in length, it's an incredibly slim lens that looks perfectly at home on a Leica M camera”
Special features
Includes a three-piece aluminum rear cap and a metal bayonet-mount hood with distinctive slits to minimize viewfinder obstruction.
“The anniversary treatment extends beyond the silver finish, with Voigtländer including a specially designed metal bayonet-mount hood featuring distinctive slits”
Traditional mechanics
Retains the all-metal helicoid focusing mechanism with precision-machined parts and special grease for smooth focusing.
“Underneath that elegant exterior, the Color-Skopar retains the traditional manual-focus experience that has helped make Voigtländer lenses so popular among rangefinder photographers”
Compatibility
Features VM mount for Leica M-mount cameras and can be adapted for modern mirrorless systems with full-frame image circle.

Why it matters
This anniversary lens celebrates 100 years of photographic history and appeals to Leica rangefinder enthusiasts with its mechanical simplicity.
“For those who appreciate the craftsmanship, simplicity, and character of traditional rangefinder photography, this anniversary edition is a lovely reminder that sometimes the most appealing lenses aren't necessarily the biggest, fastest, or most complicated”
