Voigtlander 35 mm F1.4 Nokton II MC / SC
Voigtlander's illustrious line-up welcomes the refined NOKTON classic 35mm F1.4 II VM, an evolution of a semi wide-angle favorite available in both multi-coated and single-coated variants. Keeping up with the demands of modern digital cameras while preserving the essence that endeared it to photographers for over a decade, this lens is a testament to Voigtlander's commitment to quality and innovation.
A Tradition of Excellence, Reenvisioned
Since its debut in 2008, the NOKTON classic 35mm F1.4 VM has earned accolades for its unique blend of compactness, wide aperture, and a symmetrical lens configuration that harnesses the best of traditional and contemporary optics. More than a decade later, its successor retains these hallmarks while bringing substantial advancements tailored for the digital age.
Optimized Rendering for the Digital Eye
The NOKTON classic 35mm F1.4 II VM has been meticulously redesigned to address the nuances of digital photography. One of its standout features is the enhanced focus accuracy, particularly when using live view. The intentional retention of spherical aberrations, which played a role in image rendering of its predecessor, ensures that the unique "bokeh" and sharpness photographers have come to love remains intact.
This version dramatically reduces the focus position shift observed when adjusting the aperture after focusing with live view at maximum aperture. Moreover, the lens counters waviness in the image plane, ensuring stable imaging even when you focus at the image's center and then recompose.
Dual Coating Options for Varied Aesthetics
Understanding the diverse preferences of photographers, Voigtlander offers the NOKTON classic 35mm F1.4 II VM in two distinct coatings. Choose the multi-coating for neutral, true-to-life color rendering or the single coating to achieve classical, timeless tones. It's all about personalizing your photography experience.
Reliability in Focus
Like its forerunner, the lens boasts an exceptionally accurate focusing cam. This ensures reliable, spot-on focusing right from the maximum aperture, making it a joy to use with an optical rangefinder.
Accessories and Add-ons
For those looking to further augment their photographic toolkit, an optional lens hood (LH-6) is available to enhance your shooting experience.
In conclusion, the Voigtlander 35 mm F1.4 Nokton II MC / SC embodies the brand's continuous pursuit of perfection. Seamlessly merging traditional values with modern refinements, this lens is set to become another classic in the making.
