  • 35mm as a reportage focal length – now even more compact

    35mm stands for proximity to the subject and a natural representation of the surroundings. In the Type II version, the Nokton has been consistently optimized for a reduced design without compromising image quality. This makes the lens ideal for street, reportage, and travel photography, where mobility plays a central role.

    f/1.5 for available light and flexible image composition

    The high speed enables reliable work in low light and opens up creative freedom with depth of field. Subjects can be clearly separated from the background while the visual effect remains calm and controlled. This makes the lens particularly versatile for urban scenes, interiors, and documentary work.

    Aspherical optics for clean, modern rendering

    The aspherical optical construction is designed for effective correction of aberrations. In practice, this is reflected in stable sharpness, good contrast, and uniform performance across the entire image field. The look remains modern, neutral, and reproducible – even at wide-open aperture.

    Optimized handling for Leica M

    Due to the more compact design, the Type II model remains particularly balanced on the Leica M. The manual focusing is precisely tuned and supports a controlled, deliberate way of working. The 35mm f/1.5 Nokton Type II is aimed at photographers who want to combine speed, mobility, and a clear visual language in one lens.
