Overview

The Voigtlander Nokton 25mm f/0.95 is a manual-focus lens for Micro Four Thirds, offering a unique look with soft, pleasant bokeh. Its main draw is f/0.95, but it is too soft wide open, requiring stopping to f/2 for adequate sharpness. Corner sharpness falls off significantly until f/5.6, and purple fringing is severe at f/0.95. Build quality is top-notch with smooth focusing, but it lacks electronic contacts, so no EXIF data or in-camera corrections. It suits enthusiasts who value character and low-light capability over technical perfection.
