Blending a compact form factor with versatile performance, the Nokton Classic 35mm f/1.4 II SC 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 single coating, as opposed to a more common multi-layered coating, which offers a subtler image quality with slightly reduced contrast that is especially well-suited to black and white photography. 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 SC Reviews
Two Worlds In One Lens
Having Three Amazing 35/50 ASPH Lenses For Sharpness, I Bought The SC Version For Something Different - And Boy Is It Different When Shooting Full Open Especially In Low Light. All Manner Of Unexpected Visuals, Mysterious Bokeh (some Love, Others Detest) - A Look Preferred By Many Japanese Photographers Of Late. Stop It Down A Few Notches And It Rendens Vividly Like Most Any Good Lens At F/2.8-11.0. So, Two Worlds Depending On Your Goals, Mood Or Lighting Conditions. A Good Lens For Those Who Grow Tired Of "perfect/digital Images." And Good For Classic B&W Street Photography Using TriX 400 And A Light Yellow (shade, Indoors) Or Medium Yellow (full Sun) Filter.
Stunning
Absolutely gorgeous lens. Very small and compact, perfect for a run and gun kit. The focus ring and tab feel amazing. The small size doesn’t compromise how well built it feels. Great for lower light situations. Great little lens!
