Voigtlander Nokton 42.5mm F/0.95 Lens
- Product Code: eq13769
-
The Voigtlander Nokton 42.5mm f/0.95 Lensis a bright, fast portrait-length lens that provides a 35mm-equivalent focal length of 85mm when used on Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras. This manual focus, manual exposure prime lens utilizes a Selective Aperture Control System, which renders the aperture control ring as stepless and de-clicked for silent and smooth performance. This is ideally-suited to video applications or for greater control over aperture selection while shooting.
The optical construction integrates one Super High Refractive element as well as one aspherical element to minimize chromatic aberrations and produce imagery with notable clarity and sharpness. Ten aperture blades form a nearly circular diaphragm in order to produce an aesthetic bokeh that is noticeable when using shallow depth of field and selective focus techniques and a minimum focusing distance of 9.1" supports working with close-up subject matter.

Related Questions and Answers
Q: 1. This is a very expensive lens comparing to my Olympus Pen Lite E-PL6. Will it be an overkilled combo?
A: I don't think it is necessarily overkill. However, as a manual-only focus lens, if you don't have an Olympus electronic View Finder accessory, you will have some trouble focusing using only the rear panel.
Q: 2. Is the focus ring smoooth at all distances? Or is there a tightness when focusing from 10 to a foot distance?
A: On mine, the focus ring is pretty even throughout its travel. I just tested it to be sure, and I would say that there is maybe 10-20% greater resistance, gradually as you approach the minimum distance, but nothing I would characterize as tightness , just a normal variation. I honestly wouldn't have noticed if I didn't test it in response to your question. I hope that helps.
Q: 3. can it be mount on Sony 7aS ?
A: Unfortunately, no, the Voigtlander Nokton 42.5mm f/0.95 Micro Four Thirds Lens is not compable for use with the Sony Alpha A7s Mirrorless Digital Camera.
Q: 4. What is the approximate physical length of this lens WITH the lens hood on?
A: 122mm with one filter (the hood 'mount' is removable, so you can still use filters and then the hood)
Q: 5. In daily use, how does this compare to the Panasonic Lumix G 42.5 mm f/1.7 OIS?
A: Main difference is the aperture of the Voigtlander is wider and offers better quality in low light and shallower depth of field. On the other hand it is manual focus only. The Panasonic lens offers autofocus.
Q: 6. For those who are using this lens, how easy is the manual focusing, especially when shooting wide open with narrow depth of field? Thanks.
A: At F/0.95 you will need to be very precise to get the proper focus. You will need to take advantage of whatever focus assisting tools are available to you on your camera, such as focus peaking and magnification of the image.
Q: 7. What diameter gear ring does this lens need to be used with a smallrig F40 manual follow focus?
A: The Simmod SIMple Fit Follow Focus Gear (Small, 10mm), BH #SISF10SM, or the Tilta Seamless Focus Gear Ring (62.5 to 64.5mm), BH #TITAFGR6264, would be good gear rings to consider when looking for a gear ring to pair with the Voigtlander Nokton 42.5mm f/0.95 Micro Four Thirds Lens.
Q: 8. I can use this lens in Fuji x mount with the help of an adapter ?or it will be cropped??
A: Unfortunately, this lens cannot be adapted to a Fuji X series camera.
Q: 9. On a GH4 is the apeture controled manually too? or can the camera move it (like with the finger dials)?
A: This lens is fully manual. It doesn't interface with the electronics at all. It's a phenomenal lens and worth the effort to manually adjust the exposure ring.
Q: 10. Does this lense work (without any adaptor) on an Olympus OM-D E-M1?
A: yes, it does. that's why it is micro four thirds lens. you attach it directly to the micro four thirds body, without any adapter. keep in mind that it is manual focus all the time.
