Voigtländer 40mm f/1.2 Nokton Aspherical
Summary
The new Voigtländer 40 mm F1.2 Nokton aspherical RF mount is – after the 50mm F1.0 presented in fall 2023 – our second lens for the RF bayonet. It has a large aperture of F1.2, is operated completely manually like all our lenses and has been exclusively adapted and optimized for the image sensors of the Canon R system. The lens construction consists of eight elements in six groups. Two lens elements have a double-sided aspherical design, which contributes to an outstanding imaging performance, with impressive sharpness in the peripheral areas even at open aperture. The high speed enables impressive results in available light photography and offers a wide range of options when changing the focus levels. In addition, a close-up limit of only 30 cm could be realized, which opens up interesting creative perspectives in image composition. The lens also impresses with its extremely pleasant bokeh (10 aperture blades).
