Voigtländer Camera Lenses and Filters

Voigtlander Camera Lenses and Filters

Voigtlander camera lenses and filters are used to alter the effect of the image you're taking with your camera. Different types of lens and filter will provide a different type of lighting, or a different texture to the image, so you can achieve the desired result you're looking for.

Voigtlander lenses may fit onto a Voigtlander branded camera, though there are not as many of these around as there used to be, as the Voigtlander brand continues to carve a niche in the marketplace for itself by making cameras that use photographic film , rather than digital technology. Mostly, though, you'll be buying a Voigtlander lens or filter to fit on a different brand of camera.

Some types of Voigtlander camera lens and filter

Lenses and filters are designed primarily to fit onto Single Lens Reflex (SLR) cameras. These are the high end type of cameras used by professional photographers and enthusiasts.

The classic type of lens to fit on your SLR camera is a magnifying lens. These come in a range of different sizes, as measured by focal ratio (a technical term essentially defining the size of the focusing element at the point the picture is taken). Voigtlander lenses come in a range of common camera lens sizes, including f1.4, f2.5. f 2.8 etc.

Voigtlander filters for your SLR camera can help to change the amount of light that gets into the image, allowing you to take photos in otherwise inopportune circumstances. You may also wish to purchase coloured filters to change the look of the photo once developed.

About the Voigtlander brand

Amazingly, the Voigtlander name has been associated with optical instruments (and subsequently cameras) since 1756. In the middle part of the twentieth century, the firm were pioneers in camera technology, eventually merging with the famous Zeiss camera company in the mid 1960s. Modern day Voigtlander camera equipment and accessories are manufactured and supplied by the Japanese firm, Cosina.
