VOIGTLANDER 35mm f/1.4 Nokton Sony E-Mount

Compact yet fast, the Nokton Classic 35mm f/1.4 Lens from Voigtlander
is a standard wide-angle prime designed for full-frame Sony E mirrorless
cameras. Its classic wide focal length pairs with a bright f/1.4 maximum
aperture to deliver notable control over depth of field for producing shallow
depth of field imagery, and also benefits working in low-light conditions.
Helping to achieve the lens’s namesake Classic look, a symmetrical optical
design is used, along with high refractive index glass, to produce sharp, clear
imagery but with some intentional aberrations left to realize a smooth and
vintage-esque character. The lens’s manual focus design permits working with
subjects as close as 11.8″ away and the mount incorporates electronic
contacts to relay Exif data and to make use of in-camera shooting and focus
aids.

Standard
wide-angle prime is designed for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras,
however can also be used with APS-C models where it will provide a 52.5mm
equivalent focal length. Bright, fast
f/1.4 maximum aperture affords extensive control over depth of field for
selective focus techniques, and also benefits working in low-light conditions. High
refractive index glass helps to suppress spherical aberrations for a clean,
sharp image quality, however the classic-inspired design intentionally does not
correct all aberrations in order to achieve a smooth aesthetic character.

Manual focus
design permits smooth, refined control along with a minimum focusing distance
of 11.8″. Ten-blade
diaphragm contributes to a smooth quality of bokeh. Contacts transfer all Exif
data between the camera and lens in order to permit full use of camera
functions, including focus magnification, image stabilization, and lens
corrections.
