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 NOKTON 35mm F1.2 Aspherical III VM is an updated lens, featuring improved compactness for enhance useability on rangefinder cameras whilst keeping the established excellent optical performance of the previous model.

By using leading-edge optical glass and a high-performance design method, we have been able to reduce the size of the lens whilst combining both high-level optical performance and a wide aperture.

In comparison with the former model (NOKTON 35mm F1.2 Aspherical II), it is approximately 20% shorter (50.5mm), and it is about 30% lighter (332g). In comparison to other interchangeable lenses for mirrorless camera with the same specifications, it is less than half the length and one third the weight.

When seeking for the ultimate in optical performance, most lenses tend to have many elements which makes them heavy and bulky. The Voigtl?nder VM series provides a rich experience and value by giving the best balance of practical optical performance and useability.

While inheriting the excellent optical system and compact style of it's predecessor, the filter ring is now black and the weight of the main body has been reduced to 300g by improving the internal mechanical parts. It is a lens with a fast aperture that enables a large soft bokeh expression, but has excellent portability dur to it's compact size and weight.

This upgraded version, with respect to the phenomenon caused by spherical aberrations where the focus position shifts when stopping the aperture down to capture an image after focusing with live view at maximum aperture, this shift in the image plane caused by changing the aperture is now almost entirely eliminated.

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.
