Overview

The Voigtlander 50mm F1.1 Nokton is a super-fast M-mount lens with an all-spherical design, often found used for ~$500. It is very soft and has poor bokeh at large apertures, especially by Leica standards, though it offers a unique character for artistic shooting. Build quality is excellent with smooth focus and aperture rings. It suits those seeking an affordable fast lens for character over clinical sharpness, and works well on mirrorless or film rangefinders.
