NOKTON 40mm F1.2 Aspherical II VM



The NOKTON 40mm F1.2 Aspherical II VM

The NOKTON designation is only given to high-speed lenses in the Voigtländer lineup with a maximum aperture of F1.5 or faster.

When the first NOKTON was released in the 1950s, it was positioned as a lens that enabled images to be captured even in low light. 


However, with constantly improving imaging sensor sensitivity, the advantage of a high-speed lens
nowadays is the ability to use as a means of photographic expression the out-of-focus bokeh created by opening the aperture.

The new lens offer the same large bokeh provided by the F1.2 aperture and the same compact, easy-to-carry size as previous
models and the same optics. 


The main change is the filter ring is now black while internal structural changes reduced weight.
The new lens hoods LH-14& the longer length LH-15 (sold separately) are
compatible with the 40mm Nokton lens and is now reversible.
