NEW RELEASE Voigtlander NOKTON 28mm f1.5 VM Vintage Line type II, black, Leica M mount

The NOKTON 28mm F1.5 aspherical is available in two versions: Type I, made of aluminum, weighs 250 g and is available in matt black or silver. Type II, made of brass, has a special tactile quality due to its heavier weight of 330 g and is available in both black and silver lacquer.

Particularly noteworthy is the focusing rod supplied with the Type II lens, which offers a new manual focusing experience. The metal rod can be inserted into the finger recess by loosening the screw in the finger recess and screwing in the rod. This means that zone focusing can be adjusted even more intuitively using the angle of the rod. 

The classically designed lens barrel is equipped with an 8-group 10-element optical system with two aspherical lens elements on both sides. Even at an aperture of F1.5, this delivers outstanding optical performance with high sharpness right to the edges.

The technical details are also impressive: the 12 aperture blades ensure a smooth focus gradient and allow the photographer a high degree of creative freedom,

The close-up limit of 50 cm also offers the option of an interesting perspective design of the respective motif. In addition to classic landscape photography, a 28 mm focal length can be used for a variety of other purposes, whereby the lens with a length of 45.5 mm and a compact 43 mm filter diameter always remains extremely mobile and flexible.

With the NOKTON 28mm F1.5 aspherical, Voigtländer once again sets new standards in terms of image quality and design to offer discerning photographers a unique tool. This wide-angle lens combines aesthetics, mobility and optical excellence at the highest level.

Bayonet type hood (sold separately)

The optional LH-6 hood is manufactured from aluminum and utilizes a bayonet type mount for fast attachment/removal.

Manual focus for reliable focusing

Employs a very precisely machined and adjusted all metal helicoid unit lubricated with high quality grease to realize smooth focusing operation with just the right amount of torque. This enables very precise focusing.

Bayonet type VM mount

Uses the VM-mount lens mount compatible with Leica M-mount. Not only can this lens be used on rangefinder-coupled cameras, but design-wise it also balances very nicely when mounted on mirrorless digital cameras with a mount adapter.

Installed with a focus-coupling system

The high-precision rangefinder coupling mechanism enables precise focusing in focus critical situations such as when shooting at or close to maximum aperture.

Imaging circle that covers full frame format

The lens features a generous imaging circle that covers the 35 mm full frame format. Furthermore, its size is extremely compact compared to interchangeable lenses for single-lens reflex cameras.
