Voigtlander's ultra-fast 35mm for M-mount — f/1.2 with ASPH correction and rangefinder coupling.
The Voigtlander Nokton 35mm f/1.2 II VM is an ultra-fast wide prime for Leica M-mount. At f/1.2 it is one of the fastest lenses available for the M system — providing extreme shallow DOF at the classic 35mm focal length.
Optically characterful — soft at f/1.2 with dramatic shallow DOF, sharpening by f/2. The Nokton rendering at f/1.2 is dreamy and distinctive. The Mark II improved over the original with refined optical design. Rangefinder coupled.
Leica M mount with 50mm or 52mm filter thread depending on version. Approximately 380g. Rangefinder coupled. 10 aperture blades for smooth bokeh. All-metal construction. Manual focus with smooth Voigtlander helicoid.
Available used at professional prices. The f/1.2 on M-mount provides extreme DOF control — challenging to focus via rangefinder at maximum aperture. The Leica 35mm f/1.4 Summilux is the main M-mount alternative. For M-mount enthusiasts wanting maximum speed at 35mm.
