In Spring 2016 Voigtländer will release a new line of Sony-E-Mount lenses including a 10mm f/5.6 Hyper-Wide-Heliar, a 12mm f/5.6 Ultra-Wide-Heliar and a 15mm f/4.5 Super-Wide-Heliar. While the 12mm and 15mm primes are already available in M-mount versions, the 10mm focal length is completely new. The new E-mount lenses will be equipped with all the necessary contacts to transmit data such as focal length, aperture and camera-to-subject distance, so that they can be included in the EXIF information embedded in the image files produced by the camera. Additionally, all three lenses will incorporate a stepless aperture control mechanism, a feature that's especially important for videographers. Pricing and specifications have yet to be communicated.

Voigtländer Press Release

Commited to highest quality — Lenses, that support latest camera technologies with high precision mechanics: the brand new Voigtländer lenses.

Sony E-Mount

In Spring 2016 Voigtländer will release a brand new, much-anticipated line of Sony-E-Mount lenses, that can be used on Sony E-Mount cameras without an adapter.

According to the tradition of Voigtländer the first three lenses of this new lines are covering an extreme wide angle range and are perfect for landscape and architecture photographers:

• 10 mm F 5,6 Hyper-Wide-Heliar

• 12 mm F 5,6 Ultra-Wide-Heliar

• 15 mm F 4,5 Super-Wide-Heliar

While the 12 mm and 15 mm lenses are already available with a VM-Mount the 10 mm focal length is completely new. As these extreme wide lenses are challenging a fast and smooth commuication between lens, camera and photographer, which is extremely important.

If enabled the camera changes automatically in magnifying mode during focusing which allows highest accurancy. All lens-relevant data such as focal length, aperture and focal distance are transmitted to the camera. This data is  shown in the view finder/display and used for metering and image stabilization.

The selective aperture control system for full frame is used for the first time in this lenses—a vital feature for film makers as it allows a stepless and soundless aperture control.

VM-Mount

Voigtländer continues its VM-Mount digital optimization with the new 12 mm F 5,6 Ultra-Wide-Heliar III. Additionally Voigtländer will also release the new 10 mm F 5,6 Hyper-Wide-Heliar with VM-Mount.
