Classic and fast lens
The new compact, high-resolution Voigtlander NOKTON 50mm F1.5 Vintage Line aspherical VM II is available in three different classic lens designs, each with two different lens coatings, in order to do justice to the photographer’s respective shooting style.


The classic look is available in black and silver, plus a nostalgic, two-tone lens in the style of the 1930s for absolute rangefinder enthusiasts. All three versions are available with multi-coating for a modern visual language or with single-coating for recordings in the style of the 1960s.
The Voigtlander Nokton 50mm / 1: 1.5 Vintage Line aspherical VM II not only delivers outstanding optical performance, but also a buttery soft bokeh thanks to the twelve aperture blades. The compact lens size with a filter thread of 43mm and the low weight (black and silver 198g / bicolor 255g) qualify it as a pleasant everyday companion that covers many photographic situations. The processing quality is at the same high level as Voigtländer is accustomed to and our new gem can of course not only be used on cameras with M-Mount using an adapter.
