Voigtlander 35mm Nokton f/1.2 A pherical IV Overview

Updating a classic for today's imaging standards, this Nokton 35mm f/1.2 Aspherical IV Lens from Voigtlander is an extremely fast, normal-length lens for Leica M-mount rangefinder cameras. This fourth iteration of the Nokton 35mm f/1.2 sports a completely black filter ring to eliminate unwanted reflections and features improved internal structures that reduce its weight to a mere 10.6 oz.

Its 12-blade iris opens to a maximum aperture of f/1.2, creating soft, circular bokeh, providing precise depth control, and allowing the lens to excel in low-light conditions. The advanced, nine-element optical design includes four aspherical surfaces that work to suppress both spherical and chromatic aberrations for greater sharpness, clarity, and color rendering. Additionally, Nokton's manual focus design permits working with subjects as close as 1.6' away.

Ultrafast Optics
  • f/1.2 maximum aperture benefits low-light photography and enables greater depth control
  • 12-blade iris provides shallow depth of field and soft, circular bokeh for distinct visual character
  • Nine-element, seven-group optical design includes four aspherical surfaces
  • Limit spherical aberrations and distortion while ensuring consistent visual quality
Practical Design
  • Manual focus design enables a minimum focusing distance of 1.6'
  • Leica M-mount for use with rangefinder cameras and 52mm front filter thread
  • Internal structural changes reduce weight to 10.6 oz
  • Compatible with the separately available LH-14 lens hood

Voigtlander 35mm Nokton f/1.2 A pherical IV Reviews

Worthwhile

I’ll eventually get the Leica version, but until then, this is my go to lens for daily photography with my M11M. I really enjoy using it. No regrets.

Better than 35mm Summilux?

I paired this lens with my M10M after realizing I needed a fast 35 as my main lens. I didn’t want to spend on a Leica lens as the 35 Lux is an old optical design and quite costly for what it is. The rendering of this lens is amazing, almost medium format feeling but with a very controlled softness and very reasonable falloff towards the edges. The look is perfect, not to clinical but clean enough for high res digital of today. I highly recommend trying this lens, Voigtlander seems to have perfected the 35 1.2 asph design after 5 versions now.
