Product Description:
Voigtländer NOKTON Vintage Line 28mm F1.5 Aspherical VM - Type I - Silver
High-performance large-aperture interchangeable wide-angle lens with a classical appearance for VM mount rangefinder cameras.
The NOKTON Vintage Line 28mm F1.5 Aspherical, an interchangeable lens designed exclusively for full-frame VM mount cameras under the Voigtländer brand.
The Vintage Line currently consists of seven lenses, three having the F1.5 specification: 35mm, 50mm, and 75mm lenses.
We now add a 28mm f1.5 Aspherical lens to this line up.
The NOKTON Vintage Line 28mm F1.5 Aspherical is a wide-angle lens that combines three elements:
- a large aperture,
- compact dimensions,
- and outstanding optical performance.
The lens is F1.5, very fast for a 28mm wide-angle lens, with compact 43mm filter diameter and 45.5mm length for portability.
The classically designed lens barrel is equipped with an 8-group, 10-element optical system featuring two aspherical lens elements on both sides.
This delivers outstanding optical performance even at an aperture of f/1.5.
The minimum focusing distance is 0.5m by the use of a helicoid that can be moved out further from the 0.7m distance (depending on the camera) linked to the rangefinder.
The Type I is made of aluminum and weighs 250g.
The Type I styling is reminiscent of modern classic lenses of the 1970s in silver.
The optional lens hood with slits "LH-6" fits all NOKTON Vintage Line 28mm F1.5 Aspherical Lenses.
The optical design of this lens is optimized for use with rangefinder-coupled digital and film cameras.
It also may be used on mirrorless cameras through the use of a mount adapter, making it suitable for use on a variety of platforms beyond rangefinder cameras.
