Product Description

The Voigtlander Nokton 42.5mm f/0.95 Micro Four Thirds Lens is a bright, fast portrait-length lens that provides a 35mm-equivalent focal length of 85mm when used on Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras. This manual focus, manual exposure prime lens utilizes a Selective Aperture Control System, which renders the aperture control ring as stepless and de-clicked for silent and smooth performance. This is ideally-suited to video applications or for greater control over aperture selection while shooting. The optical construction integrates one Super High Refractive element as well as one aspherical element to minimize chromatic aberrations and produce imagery with notable clarity and sharpness. Ten aperture blades form a nearly circular diaphragm in order to produce an aesthetic bokeh that is noticeable when using shallow depth of field and selective focus techniques and a minimum focusing distance of 9.1 supports working with close-up subject matter.

Customers say

Customers like the sharpness, focus ability, quality and build quality of the camera lens. For example, they mention that it's very sharp, has great bokeh and that the focus ring is smooth. That said, they say it'll make for a good interview lens when paired with a decent camera body. They also appreciate the ease of use, saying that it has focus peaking.

9 customers mention9 positive0 negative

Customers are satisfied with the sharpness of the lens. They mention that the center sharpness is magical, the bokeh is very smooth, and the corner to corner sharpness are fantastic. The lens reaches peak sharpness by f/4 and produces remarkable images that are much more filmic.

Professional Videographer - Love this lens
This (and all the Voiglander Nokton M4/3 lenses are amazing. From the first day using it I don't want to use other lenses for video.The image is much more filmic (slightly less contrasty and video-y than the Panasonic 35-100mm and Panasonic Leica 25mm that I also own), very flattering look with this lens. For video f0.95 is sharp enough and still a manageable depth of field if you are a few feet from your subject.I film weddings and commercials for a living and love what this lens does for me. It's incredibly easy to pull focus thanks to it being fully manual and not focus by wire. As someone who never used autofocus I love this. Its hard to switch back to my other lenses when it comes to usability and image quality. For a M4/3 lens this is not cheap, but it's worth every penny.Check out a few stills from different projects I've shot (all these were on the GH3, recently moved to GH5 and this lens is even more amazing).

5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVE this lens...
Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2017
Ok, so you know the phrase "you get what you pay for"? It so very much applies to this lens.

I was very reluctant to pay the sticker-shocking $799 for this lens, but I heard so many wonderful reviews about it, as the best m43 portrait lens on the market. So I picked it up, expecting to be disappointed and returning it.

That didn't happen. This lens is incredible. If you're a fan of shallow DOF/bokeh, this is a dream lens. At f/0.95, the focus depth is about an inch--incredible! I am so happy that I bought this lens and I'm pretty sure it's going to be my go-to for a while.
