    35mm · f/1.2

    Overview

    The Voigtländer Nokton 35 mm f/1.2 Asp VM II is a fast, affordable alternative to Leica 35mm lenses, offering f/1.2 speed and unique character. Optically, it delivers smooth subject isolation and a classic rendering wide open, but is not very sharp wide open, though sufficient for magazine covers. Build is solid but large and heavy, obstructing the viewfinder. It suits Leica M and SL users seeking a fast, characterful lens for low-light and documentary work, especially those on a budget.
