Elegant and versatile, the Voigtlander Nokton 40mm f/1.2 Aspherical Lens is a fast and compact wide-normal prime for Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras. Featuring an optimized optical design, two aspherical elements are used to reduce spherical aberrations and distortion for impressive clarity and sharpness throughout the aperture range. The lens is also defined by its bright f/1.2 maximum aperture, which benefits working with selective focus techniques and also aids working in low-light conditions. Additionally, a 10-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality, and the lens's manual focus operation permits working with subjects as close as 1.1' away.
- Full-Frame | f/1.2 to f/22
- Extremely Fast Prime

Voigtlander 40mm f/1.2 Nokton Aspherical Reviews
Nokton is Excellent
This Voightländer 40/1.2 Nokton in E-mount, has become a favorite on my Sony a7V. I'm and old Leica/film guy, and love the film-like softness wide open, with the ability to become sharp but not clinical stopped down. Focusing is second nature once you use it a short time, and there was no adjustment as I normally shoot in Manuall mode on this camera body. Of course, B&H is so smooth to deal with, and got the lens to me quickly.
Very Interesting Lens
Checked Out Lots Of Reviews On This One Before Buying And They Were All Very Accurate: Great Build Quality And Unique Look. This Is My First Well-crafted Manual Lens And I Do Think I Enjoy The Manual Aspect A Lot More Than I Have In The Past Because Of How Well This Lens Feels In Your Hands. It's A Bit Heavy But I Actually Like That. I Wanted To Try This Out As A Low Light Lens, Which Its Great At But It Is Very Dreamy Wide Open And Super Soft. For The Photography That I Have Been Dabbling In That's Fine, But I Could Definitely See This Amount Of "character" Be A Bit Distracting For Others. When You Get Past Around 2.8 And Higher It Gets Surprisingly Very Sharp And Accurate Which Is What Makes It Kind Of Unique I Think. I Also Like This Focal Length—in-between That 35 And 50 Also Adds To Its Unique Look. If You Are Good At Manual Focusing/want To Get Better AND Are Taking A Lot Of Artsy Photos, This Lens Is Amazing. If You Are Looking To Take Pictures Quickly And Want Them To Be Perfectly Sharp And Clinically Precise, I'd Look For Something Else.
