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.

You may ask why this lens has been announced - when Voigtlander already have a 50mm f1.1. The 50mm f1.2 is a brand new lens design, with a similar specification to the exceedingly popular 40mm f1.2 VM lens.

This lens features two aspherical elements & a 12 aperture blade diaphragm - allowing exceptional performance from F22 all the way to wide open.

The 50mm f1.2 is designed for use with both digital and film photography and is equipped with a rangefinder coupling cam. The minimum close focus distance of this lens is 70cm.

Both the LH-8 and LH-10 lens hoods can be used with this lens. The LH-10 is a brand new lens hood designed for this lens, though you can also use the more compact LH-8.

Main Features:
Enhanced high performance aspherical lens surfaces
Extremely solid and durable all-metal barrel
Manual focus
12 aperture blades
VM Bayonet Mount
Focus coupling system
Minimum focus distance: 70

It features an ultra-fast f/1.2 aperture, making it ideal for low-light photography and creating beautiful bokeh effects. The lens is compact and well-built, the filter ring is now black and with a new metal construction that ensures durability. It offers excellent sharpness and minimal aberrations, making it a popular choice among photographers who value both performance and aesthetics.

The COLOR SKOPAR 50mm F2.2 is a manual focus standard lens optimized for full size VM mount sensors. Cosina lens designers succeeded in reducing the exterior lens barrel length to only 30mm, despite this being a 50mm F2.2 standard lens.

High performance optics using 7 elements in 6 groups including 3 elements of anomalous partial dispersion glass achieve excellent optical performance even wide open at F2.2. It is possible to focus beyond the minimum rangefinder distance of 0.7 m and up to 0.5 m with the interlocking of the rangefinder. It is effective when shooting with a camera equipped with a live view function.

It comes with a compact, straight-type hood that is shaped so that it does not obstruct the rangefinder camera rangefinder window.
