What is the voigtl nder macro apo lanthar 65mm f 2 aspherical good for?

The Voigtländer Macro APO-Lanthar 65mm f/2 Aspherical is a manual-focus macro lens for full-frame cameras. It reaches 1:2, so it suits close-up work on small subjects and fine details. At f/2 it also doubles as a sharp, short portrait lens.

On full frame it frames at 65mm. On an APS-C body it frames like about 98mm, which gives a tighter portrait view.

Good pairings from the catalogue include the Sony a7 III or Nikon Z6 II for full-frame close-ups and portraits, or the Sony a6400 if you want that tighter APS-C framing. For how portrait focal lengths behave, see Portraits.
