The Ultron 50mm f2 for the Prominent, a rangefinder-coupled camera that represents Voigtländer in the postwar era. Together with the Nokton 50mm f1.5 and the Color-Skopar 50mm f3.5, it is the middle brother among the three standard lenses for the Prominent. Although it tends to be overshadowed by the Nokton 50mm f1.5, the Ultron also delivers truly elegant and refined rendering.
In addition to the Prominent, the Ultron 50mm f2 was equipped on higher-end versions of the popular Vito and Vitomatic models, serving as one of Voigtländer’s flagship lenses of the time. Like the Nokton, it is also known in Rectaflex mount.
With an adapter for the Prominent mount, you can enjoy its beautiful rendering on modern mirrorless cameras as well.
There are thin line scratches on the front edge of the lens barrel caused by attaching and removing the hood. The barrel shows some signs of use such as light scuffing and minor scratches, but there are no dents or noticeable damage, and the overall appearance remains quite good.
The glass shows no noticeable cleaning marks, haze, or balsam separation, and is clear and crisp. The characteristic pale amber coating typical of Voigtländer lenses from this period remains intact across all surfaces.
The original front and rear caps, as well as the original box, are included.
