Voigtlander NOKTON Classic 40mm Prime Lens 131507 F1.4

The Nocton Classic offers a classic rendering that sets it apart from modern lenses, which are sharp and high-contrast regardless of aperture setting. It is particularly soft when shot wide open, yet delivers sharp definition when stopped down. Another appealing feature is the ability to control this dual nature of the lens to suit your photographic intent. With a focal length of 40mm—a field of view frequently used as a semi-wide-angle or standard lens where mobility is essential—this lens combines a large maximum aperture of f/1.4 with a total length of just 29.7mm and a weight of 175g. This compact design makes it ideal for carrying with you at all times. A fully metal helicoid unit, machined and adjusted to a high standard of precision, combined with high-quality grease that provides just the right amount of torque, ensures smooth and responsive focusing. It features manual focus, allowing for subtle fine-tuning of focus. The lens utilises a VM mount, which is compatible with the Leica M mount. Not only is it ideal for use with rangefinder cameras, but it also offers excellent aesthetic balance when mounted on a mirrorless digital camera via a mount adapter. It provides a generous image circle compatible with 35mm full-frame sensors. Furthermore, it achieves a remarkably compact design compared to interchangeable lenses for SLR cameras.
