Voigtlander COLOR-SKOPAR 21mm f/3.5 lens announced for Sony E-mount
COLOR SKOPAR is the designation of a compact high performance lens improved for color photography in 1949 after being released by Voigtländer in the 1920s as the SKOPAR and used as the main lens on many compact cameras up to after WWII.
With a 91.2° field of view, which is wider than the field viewable at high resolution by the human eye, the lens is capable of capturing dynamic compositions. In addition, as well as covering full frame sensors, the deep depth of field of the lens makes it very suitable for quick snap shooting by estimating focus distance by eye. The minimum focusing distance is a very short 20cm, making it possible to capture exaggerated perspectives by getting very close to the subject.
