The original "Ultron" was a 50mm f/2.0 lens with 6 elements in 5 groups designed for the Voigtlander Prominent camera. It was designed by A.W. Tronnier as an improvement on his own Xenar (c.a. 1937) design. Ultron lenses were also used in the Vitessa cameras, Vito III, Vitomatic and others as a high end option over the Skopar.
When Zeiss took over Voigtlander a further design improvement by Tronnier resulted in the 50mm f/1.8 used in the Icarex camera and also available in M42 mount. This lens had an extra concave front element.
The same designed of the Ultron was also used for the Takumar 55/1.8.[1]
