40mm · f/1.2
The Voigtlander Nokton 40mm f/1.2 Aspherical FE is a compact, fully manual lens with electronic contacts. Optically, it offers a dual character: wide open it has a 'dreamy' rendering with lower sharpness but beautiful color and bokeh, while stopped down it becomes very sharp and contrasty. Build quality is excellent with a smooth focus ring and solid feel. It suits photographers who appreciate classic rendering and manual control, but may not appeal to those prioritizing pixel-level sharpness at maximum aperture.
