Voigtlander Nokton 35mm f/1.2 Aspherical III Lens

The Voigtlander Nokton 35mm f/1.2 Aspherical III showcases an elegantly refined design that is both impressively lightweight and sleek. This fast, compact, and versatile wide-angle prime lens is specifically crafted for M-mount rangefinder cameras. Its newly formulated construction makes it significantly lighter and more compact compared to earlier models, while the enhanced optical layout is optimized for precise color rendering in digital photography. The inclusion of two aspherical elements effectively minimizes spherical aberrations and distortions, resulting in enhanced clarity and sharpness across the entire aperture range. Characterized by a bright maximum aperture of f/1.2, this lens excels in selective focus techniques and performs admirably in low-light environments. Furthermore, the 12-blade diaphragm produces a visually appealing bokeh, and the manual focus capability allows for close-up work with subjects positioned as near as 1.6 feet.

• Version III of this bright wide-angle prime has an updated optical design that renders more accurate colors to suit digital capture, and the physical design is also noticeably lighter and more compact than previous versions.
• Notably fast f/1.2 maximum aperture helps control depth of field for shallow depth of field shooting, and also benefits working in difficult lighting conditions.
• Two aspherical elements are used to reduce field curvature, distortion, and spherical aberrations for improved clarity and sharpness.
• Manual focus design enables a minimum focusing distance of 1.6′, and it is rangefinder coupled for accurate focusing to 2.3′.
• A 12-blade diaphragm contributes to a smooth and pleasing bokeh quality.
• Compatible with optional LH-8 lens hood.
