Blending a compact form factor with versatile performance, the Nokton Classic 35mm f/1.4 II MC from Voigtlander is a fast wide-angle prime designed for M-mount rangefinder cameras. This updated, version II of the lens features a symmetrical optical design with one abnormal partial dispersion element, which retains the distinct character and high color accuracy rendering of the original, but also reduces curvature of field and astigmatism for improved focusing accuracy and more even sharpness across the entire image plane. This lens also features a multi-coating to suppress lens flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color fidelity when working in strong lighting conditions. Its manual focus design permits working with subjects as close as 2.3' away and a 10-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality to suit working with shallow depth of field.

Voigtlander Nokton Classic 35mm f/1.4 II MC Overview
Version II of this lens features a refined optical design that is better suited for use with digital cameras, especially in conjunction with focusing using live view. The optical integrity has been maintained, keeping the characteristic spherical aberrations for a classic look, however the field curvature and astigmatism has been significantly reduced for improved focusing accuracy and even sharpness across the entire image plane.
Fast f/1.4 maximum aperture helps control depth of field for shallow depth of field shooting, and also benefits working in difficult lighting conditions.
A symmetrical optical design, along with one abnormal partial dispersion element, is used to reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing for improved clarity, color accuracy, and sharpness.
This multi-coated version of the Nokton Classic 35mm f/1.4 II produces vivid yet accurate colors along with high contrast and saturation, making it well-suited for general shooting applications.
Manual focus design enables a minimum focusing distance of 2.3'.
A 10-blade diaphragm contributes to a smooth and pleasing bokeh quality.
Compatible with optional LH-6 lens hood.

Voigtlander Nokton Classic 35mm f/1.4 II MC Reviews
Stunning Lens In Every Way
By Brett
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-06-26
The Voigtlander 35mm f/1.4 Nokton is a seriously stunning lens. First of all, it is beautiful to look at. The retro design is stunning. Second, it's a joy to use. The focus ring is perfectly dampened and super smooth to turn, making it very easy to obtain focus. The aperture ring is nice and clicky and not easy to bump and turn. It's an all-metal build but isn't overly heavy. It's weighted perfectly on my Leica M-P 240. Now, the image quality is sensational. Truly beautiful. The colors this lens renders are wonderful. It's plenty sharp wide open, and only gets better as you stop it down. The bokeh renders superbly as well. The fall-off is smooth; the out-of-focus areas, while not creamy, are very pleasing, and I love the soap-bubble bokeh. It reminds me of my older Meyer Optik Goerlitz lenses from the 70s. Every time I use this lens and then see my images, I smile from ear to ear. I am smitten with it. If you're looking for a 35mm for your Leica M series camera and don't want to break the bank, this is the one to get.
Great lens!

what is the difference between single coated and multicoated?
The main difference is based on the end result of the image. The single coated version of the Voigtlander Nokton Classic 35mm f/1.4 II Lens would produce a dreamy effect in the image, which is idea for those shooting in black & white, while the multi-coated version of the Voigtlander Nokton Classic 35mm f/1.4 II would be best for general purpose shooting.

Will this lens work on Fuji X camera (with an adapter)?
Have used on X-Pro 2 with adapter. This combo is much lighter than with an AF Fujifilm lens which are great but this is easy to handle and with focus peaking is fun to use.
