Voigtlander Nokton 40mm f/1.4 Wide Angle Leica M Mount Lens - Black

A normal-length prime lens designed for M-mount rangefinder cameras, the Nokton Classic 40mm f/1.4 MC from Voigtlander blends the comfortable, unique focal length with an especially bright f/1.4 maximum aperture, which benefits working in low-light conditions as well as offering increased control over depth of field. A multi-coating is featured to suppress lens flare and ghosting for improved contrast and colour fidelity when working in strong lighting conditions. The lens also has a manual focus design, for working with subjects as close as 2.3, and has a 10-blade diaphragm for a smooth bokeh quality. Unique 40mm focal length offers a 56 angle of view that is slightly wider than the classic 50mm length, yet narrower than the standard 35mm wide-angle. Bright f/1.4 maximum aperture benefits working in difficult lighting conditions and offers increased control over depth of field. This multi-coated version of the Nokton Classic 40mm f/1.4 produces vivid yet accurate colours along with high contrast and saturation, making it well-suited for general shooting applications. Manual focus design permits smooth, refined control along with a minimum focusing distance of 2.3. A 10-blade diaphragm contributes to a smooth and pleasing bokeh quality. Compatible with optional LH-6 lens hood.
