This lens is specially designed for manual focusing coupled precisely with the camera?s optical rangefinder system. Compared with a single lens reflex camera finder, the rangefinder focusing system focuses wide angle lenses with much more precision, enabling the photographer to use the shallow depth of focus offered by the large maximum aperture with peace of mind. The lens couples with the camera?s rangefinder from infinity down to 0.70m (differs depending on the camera) and features a helicoid that enable the lens to focus down to a minimum focus distance of 0.50m. The feature really shows its strengths when shooting using a camera with live view functionality. The included bayonet type rectangular hood is stylish, effective at shielding stray light and can be easily attached to and removed from the lens.

The Voigtlander 21mm f3.5 VM ASPH Vintage Line Color-Skopar Type II Lens is a newly designed compact super wide lens.

¦ Aperture mechanism with 10 aperture blades for beautiful bokeh

¦ Bayonet type VM-mount

The optional LH-11 lens hood manufactured from aluminium feature a bayonet mount for quick attachment / removal and crystal paint highly valued for its classical texture.

The Voigtländer 40 mm F1.2 Nokton II* VM combines modern high performance with the timeless charm of classic lens design. Two double-sided aspherical lens elements guarantee excellent image quality – even at open aperture. The large maximum aperture of F1.2 enables a soft, smooth bokeh and opens up creative scope in available light.

Despite its exceptional speed, the lens remains surprisingly compact: with a length that is ideal for working with rangefinder cameras and a weight of just 267 g (without accessories), it is light and balanced in the hand. The short length also reduces vignetting in the viewfinder image – a real advantage when working with optical viewfinders.

For optimum protection against stray light, the optionally available metal lens hood is recommended. This is available either as a compact version (LH-14) or in a longer version (LH-15). Both models can be mounted upside down to save space during transportation.

Differences to version I: the total weight has been further reduced (315 g à 267 g), and the filter ring is now completely black (instead of silver). The optical design has not been changed.
