Voigtlander's ultra-fast MFT prime — the Nokton 25mm f/0.95 with 50mm equivalent DOF control.
The Voigtlander Nokton 25mm f/0.95 is one of the fastest lenses for Micro Four Thirds — providing a 50mm equivalent with f/0.95 speed. At this extreme aperture, it delivers DOF separation approaching full-frame f/1.9 rendering — meaningful shallow DOF on MFT that no AF lens can match. A landmark lens for the MFT system.
Optical performance has the expected ultra-fast character. Soft at f/0.95 with distinctive glow, improving dramatically by f/1.4 and excellent by f/2. The rendering at maximum aperture is three-dimensional and dreamy. Bokeh is smooth. The 50mm equivalent normal perspective with f/0.95 speed enables full-frame-like portrait DOF on MFT.
Micro Four Thirds mount. Filter thread is 52mm — compact. Weight is approximately 435 grams — moderate for MFT. Build quality is outstanding Cosina precision. Manual focus with smooth helicoid. No electronics. The focus accuracy at f/0.95 is critical — the razor-thin DOF demands precise technique.
Available at moderate prices. Check smooth focus. The f/0.95 at 50mm equivalent creates images impossible from any other MFT lens — genuine shallow-DOF normal perspective. Focus accuracy is absolutely critical. An extraordinary creative tool for MFT photographers who enjoy manual focus and want maximum DOF control.
