GL Optics Voigtländer Zoomar 36-82mm T3.1
Summary
The Voigtländer Zoomar 36-82mm T3.1, introduced in 1959, is a groundbreaking vintage zoom lens designed for full-frame 36x24mm. A parfocal design ensures sharp focus across the zoom range, with minimal chromatic aberration, low focus breathing, and bold flares from its single-layer coatings. Rehoused with a 136mm front diameter, 330° focus rotation, improved close focus (2’ 9”), and a 15-blade iris, it blends vintage optical character with precise modern mechanics.
