Voigtländer Cine Lenses

Voigtländer, founded in Vienna in 1756, is one of the oldest names in optics, with a heritage spanning over two centuries of innovation in lens and camera design. While historically renowned for pioneering photographic lenses, Voigtländer also left its mark on cinema through specialty optics like the Zoomar 36–82mm T3.1, one of the earliest fast zoom designs adapted for film use. The Zoomar is celebrated for its distinctive rendering—organic contrast, expressive flares, and textured bokeh—that gives cinematographers a unique vintage aesthetic unavailable in modern zooms. When rehoused for professional production, it offers reliable mechanics and PL mounts while preserving its historic optical signature. By combining a legacy of craftsmanship with rare and characterful designs, Voigtländer remains an enduring name for filmmakers seeking one-of-a-kind vintage looks.
