Product Information
Some days you may spend in the studio vignetting or setting up the perfect styled photo shoot; other days you spend in the great outdoors taking photos of your surroundings. Either way, you need a lens that is capable of working in multiple settings. If you prefer to leave the bags of lighting equipment at home, the Voigtlander Nokton 50 mm f/1.5 aspherical lens works in various settings so that you never miss a shot. The Voigtlander Nokton 50 mm f/1.5 aspherical lens is compatible with Leica M-mount cameras and comes in a standard black color. A versatile lens, the Voigtlander Nokton switches quickly and easily from camera bag to camera. With its quick M-Mount system, the Voigtlander Nokton changes from one Leica camera to the next seamlessly so that you are always ready for the next photo. The curved surface of the Voigtlander Nokton 50 mm f/1.5 aspherical lens helps focus light on your subject, helping you achieve excellent results in a variety of different lighting conditions. This style of lens also offers high resolution and precision when shooting with a Leica M-mount camera, offering wonderful overall performance. When shooting with a manual Leica film camera, resolution is very important as you don’t have the opportunity to take hundreds of shots (like digital camera users may be used to). The resolution of this lens allows you to confidently print enlargements of your photos. Whether you’re looking for a large canvas or a photo print, the quality of the Voigtlander Nokton delivers print-worthy photos. The Voigtlander Nokton 50 mm f/1.5 aspherical lens features f/1 to f/16 apertures with half-stop click stops. With shutter speeds this fast, you are able to shoot photos even without the perfect lighting conditions. The f/1.5 minimum aperture allows plenty of light to enter the lens, which provides an additional boost to the lighting in your photos. While the lens is capable of switching between f/1 to f/16, you receive the best results when shooting no wider than f/2 with a subject that is in the 3 to 8 range. The 50/1.1 is a good match for all Leica M-mount cameras but does not pair well with a shorter rangefinder base. Short rangefinder baselength cameras can’t focus 50mm lenses accurately and consistently. Pairing your Voigtlander Nokton 50 mm f/1.5 aspherical lens with the proper Leica M-mount camera ensures beautiful image quality every time you look through the viewfinder, even with the f-stop wide open. Unlike digital lenses, the Voigtlander Nokton 50 mm f/1.5 aspherical lens is a fixed lens, not a zoom lens. The fixed 50 mm focal length offers plenty of sharpness, even at fast shutter speeds. The length makes it an ideal lens for portraits, product photography, travel photography, and candid shots. This lens comes with a 58mm filter that mounts between the lens and the lens hood, unlike traditional lenses where the filter mounts inside the lens hood. With a weight of 428 grams, the this aspherical lens’ small size doesn’t weigh your Leica camera down. A lightweight camera is definitely a perk during long shooting sessions or when packing the camera bag for longer trips. With a lens this light, it doesn’t hurt to have a couple different lenses in your bag. If you are looking for a lens that offers versatile shooting in varied lighting, then the Voigtlander Nokton 50 mm f/1.5 aspherical lens is for you. With a Voigtlander Nokton and a Leica M-mount camera, you are able to explore photography in an entirely new way.Product Identifiers

Fantastic, classic lens.
A beautifully engineered and manufactured lens. Smooth movements with tight tolerances. I use this on both my Leica M3 and Fujifilm X-E2 (with adapter). The chrome brass feels good in the hand and the images are sharp and show good contrast. Bokeh is also really nice, especially wide open at f/1.5. Thus far my only complaint is really a small, cosmetic one. The black hood. Why a black hood on a silver lens? Luckily I found a used silver hood from the LTM Voigtänder Nokton that fits with a step-up ring. Thankfully, the outer diameter is the same as the black hood so the lens cap still fits.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Grab one if you can!
Homage to a rare old classic but updated with a modern optical formulation. I purchased a chrome version, it is a faithful reproduction of the original Norton lens in rare LTM. It is a shame that Cosina did not also provided a copy of the original Voigtlander lens shade for this lens! It is a very sharp lens, I highly recommended!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great for Sony a7ii
Very sharp and good contrast. Solid build. Nice feel to focus and aperture rings. Use on Sony A7 mkii w/adapter. for me, comparable to my Nikon mount Zeiss Planar but smaller and lighter.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Voigtlander has made a comeback
It's a gem, really worth the price! Bokeh is so creamy, it's unrivalled (say this even though I do own the much praised Zeiss 55 f1.8)Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Very good, sharp lens.
this is a very good lens. The fit on my M3 is tight, there is no play between the lens and camera body. The mount was an LTM (screw mount) but the lens came with an adapter to M-mount. the pictures are very sharp.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Do not be deceived by its common appearance
Impressed by its sharpness and vibrant colour. You will be amazed. Its bokeh is rated 'sexy'. Good value all-in-all.
