Is the voigtl nder portrait heliar 75mm f 1 8 good on aps c?

Yes, it works on APS-C, with a few caveats. This is a full-frame lens, so on an APS-C body it frames like a much longer lens: about 112mm equivalent on Sony E and Nikon Z, or about 120mm on Canon RF. That's a comfortable portrait length, and f/1.8 gives roughly the depth of field of f/2.7 (Sony E, Nikon Z) or f/2.9 (Canon RF).

It's manual focus and not stabilised, so it's better for posed or slow portraits than for moving subjects. It fits APS-C bodies such as the Sony a6400 and Nikon Z50.

If you want to compare other focal lengths for people, the Portraits guide explains how each one changes the look.
