Stylish in appearance, exacting in performance, the nickel Voigtlander Nokton 50mm f/1.5 Aspherical II MC Lens Nickelis a sleek normal-length prime M-mount lens distinguished by its speed and classic rendering. The bright f/1.5 maximum aperture suits working in low-light conditions and also enables greater control over depth of field for isolating subjects using selective focus. The optical design includes one double-sided aspherical element, which helps to deliver high sharpness and low distortion by suppressing a variety of aberrations. This lens also features a multi-coating to suppress lens flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color fidelity when working in strong lighting conditions. Its manual focus design permits working with subjects as close as 2.3' away and a 12-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality to suit working with shallow depth of field.

As part of Voigtlander's Vintage Line of lenses, this lens features a classic nickel finish to give it a classic appeal, reminiscent of historic Voigtlander lenses, that is well-matched to classic rangefinder camera designs.

Fast f/1.5 maximum aperture helps control depth of field for shallow depth of field shooting, and also benefits working in difficult lighting conditions.

One large-diameter, double-sided aspherical element is incorporated at the rear of the optical construction and helps to limit spherical aberrations and distortions.

Multi-layer coating produces vivid yet accurate colors along with high contrast and saturation, making it well-suited for general shooting applications.

Manual focus design enables a minimum focusing distance of 2.3'.

A 12-blade diaphragm contributes to a smooth and pleasing bokeh quality.

Compatible with optional LH-6 lens hood.

[Manual Focus] Wow this thing is off the hook!!! Beautiful Bokeh a joy to use on my Z7. Great customer service from B and H as well!! 5

[12] This Nokton is gorgeous. Colors pop, beautiful creamy bokeh and lots of value for the money. 5

[f/1.5] This lens is very sharp, although it does lose some of that at 1.5. The bokeh on this thing is fantastic, with a slight swirl like effect. The compact size of this thing for its brightness does lead to the aberrations that would not be in a Summilux, but that does not matter to me, as this is a great lens for a fraction of the cost of a marginally better Leica lens. 5

[43 mm (Front)] This lens is absolutely gorgeous. The craftsmanship and quality simply doesn't get any better. I'm using this on my Leica M240. The bokeh is dreamy and the low light performance at f1 allows the camera to shoot at a lower ISO and take much better photos. This is exactly what I've been waiting for. This lens is going to be a legendary one. 5

[46.3°] The lens is beautifully constructed. The aperture ring is crisp and focusing has just the right amount of tension. The bokeh is typical for a fast Voightlander, classic. It doesn't come with lens case or bag, only a plain cardboard box with styrofoam for protection during shipping. What you do get is a top quality, expertly manufactured lens with a lens hood. I am not usually one to purchase third party lenses, however, I purchased a Voightlander for my Leica M8 years ago. I was very impressed back then. Voightlander certainly has a place in my Leica line-up! 5

Henry	28/07/2024
[46.3°] I really enjoy this lens. I'm using it with Leica M1. Build quality is fantastic and focus ring is very smooth and easy to control. I normally shoot on F1.5 or 2.0, and I do get quite a bit of vignetting, but it's easy to remove on LR and I do like the look and feel. I might eventually get Summilux in a few years, but until then, I am sure I will stay happy with this. 5

[43 mm (Front)] Fantastic! shoot primarily film with this lens and couldn't be happier. It's good wide open and razor sharp stopped down to f/2 and beyond. Also ultra-compact, it's glued permanent to my Leica. 5

William	24/05/2024
[f/1.5] Currently have a Summicron 50 and wanted to add something with a different look. The lens is definitely on the larger size for an M lens, but renders wonderfully and is quite sharp even at F1. I have been using mostly on my SL2-S and it balances well and is easy to focus even wide-open. 5

[0.84 lb] I wanted a sharper lens than the heliar classic, and this lens delivered by miles. I was trying to hold off on purchasing a summilux, and honestly, this lens doesn’t make me feel like I’m missing out at all, love it on my m11 5
