Nokton 25mm F0.95

Hey guys,

 

I am considering getting a Nokton 25mm F0.95.

I like light strong lenses for low light situations.

However, this particular lens does not come with an M-mount (Micro-4/3 only).

Is it posisble to use an adapter to fit this on my M8.2? Also, how would it perform on a Leica? I guess there is the risk that the M8.2 sensor (APS-C I believe) is too big for this particular lens (M-4/3).

It'd still be worth checking though as it is an affordable low light lens.

Any opinions?

Won't work. The lens MIGHT barely cover the M8's cropped sensor (likely not), but the real problems are:

 

1. No way to focus (no RF cam connection). Scale-focusing a 25mm is possible at f/4, but not at f/1.4 (which eliminates the whole purpose of the lens - might as well get the Skopar 25 f/4 already made in M-mount).

 

2. m4/3rds mount-to-sensor distance is shorter than Leica Ms. M lenses can go on m4/3rds with room for an adapter, but not vice versa. The extra depth of the M8 would act like an extension tube, leaving you with a macro-only lens (and still no way to focus).

I also think so.

It will not work on any Leica M even should you find or make an adapter. Besides the backspace issue, there is no coupling to the rangefinder. It is a superb lens, still rather difficult to use on an M-43 (entirely manual f-stop and focus), but I got a G1 just to use the lens. It is very sharp wide-open even at minimum distance.

Is there a Sony Nex version of this lens?

 

No, afaik... in theory a micro 4/3 lens could be adapted on a Nex body (flange distance : 18mm for Nex, 20mm for m43), but don't know if adapters do exist... and neither if the Voigtlander 25 f 0,95 does cover the APS-C format of Nex, which is anyway larger than Micro 4/3.
