Voigtlander APO-SKOPAR 75mm f/2.8 VM: A Serious Leica M Portrait Lens

At 75mm, this sits in a useful gap — longer than a 50, tighter than a 90 — making it a natural street portrait or travel lens on a rangefinder body. The APO designation means colour fringing is actually dealt with at the design stage, not patched in post, which matters if you're shooting wide open.
