75mm Lenses
25 lenses in the catalogue, 1931 to 2026
75mm is a late addition to the rangefinder lineup and it solves a specific problem. If 50mm is too short for a portrait and 90mm is too long, or too hard to focus reliably, this is the one in between.
It gives you a head-and-shoulders frame from a distance where you can still talk to the person you are photographing. It is also easier to focus accurately than a 90mm wide open, because the rangefinder has more margin for error at the shorter focal length.
What to expect
- Tight portraits from a comfortable working distance.
- More forgiving to focus than a 90mm at the same aperture.
- Usually smaller and lighter than the 90mm equivalent.
