Voigtlander NOKTON Classic 35mm II MC VM lens for Leica M F1.4 wide-angle mount.

This ultra-wide-angle lens combines the styling of classic lenses, considered historical masterpieces, with optical performance that matches modern photographic equipment. By keeping the maximum aperture value at a practical level, it achieves both compactness and high optical performance. It fully utilizes the mobility of a rangefinder camera, making it ideal for street photography. AH18 Symmetrical lens configuration: By combining a traditional symmetrical lens configuration with the latest optical materials (ultra-high refractive index glass), a large aperture of F1.4 is achieved in a compact size. Control the rendering with aperture: Reproduce the unique rendering of classic lenses. At wide open aperture, a smooth and gentle bokeh creates a sense of depth. Stopping down the aperture results in a sharper image, allowing for a variety of expressions with a single lens. Precise manual focus: A highly precision-machined and adjusted all-metal helicoid unit, combined with high-quality grease that provides just the right amount of torque, ensures smooth focusing operation and allows for subtle focus adjustments. Bayonet-type VM mount: The lens mount uses a VM mount compatible with Leica M mounts. It is suitable for use with rangefinder cameras, and also offers excellent design balance when mounted on mirrorless digital cameras via a mount adapter. Full-frame image circle: It boasts a generous image circle compatible with 35mm full-frame sensors. Furthermore, it achieves a remarkably compact style compared to interchangeable lenses for SLR cameras. Improved focus accuracy in live view: When focusing at the widest aperture and then stopping down the aperture, the image plane shift caused by spherical aberration has been reduced.
