  • Description

    The 40 mm focal length as a versatile all-rounder

    40 mm sits between 35 mm and 50 mm and offers a natural, balanced perspective. Subjects appear neither too distant nor too close, making this focal length ideal for street photography, reportage, travel and daily use. The 40 mm Nokton II combines this versatility with exceptional speed. Wedding photographers in particular appreciate the versatility of our 40 mm f1.2 Nokton II. From romantic portraits to exceptional reportage shots – there are no creative limits. This Voigtländer lens is especially popular with wedding photographers.

    Greater flexibility in low light and deliberate depth control

    The high light reserve enables confident work indoors, at dusk or at night. At the same time, depth of field can be controlled very precisely: subjects can be clearly separated from the background, while the surroundings remain softly and atmospherically integrated. This makes the lens particularly attractive for available-light scenes and emotive imagery.

    Aspherical optics for controlled rendering

    The modern optical construction with aspherical elements is designed to effectively control aberrations despite the high speed. In practice, this is reflected in stable sharpness, good contrast and reproducible image character, even at maximum aperture.

    Direct focusing feel for confident everyday work

    The lens conveys a very clear and sensitive focusing feel, which is crucial when working with shallow depth of field. Focus points can be set precisely and shifted deliberately. In combination with rangefinder, live view or focus aids on modern Leica M cameras, this creates a reliable tool for photographers who wish to control their image composition deliberately and implement it reproducibly.
