View warranty terms and conditionsThe Voigtländer Nokton 40mm f/1.2 VM is a short-normal prime lens designed for Leica M-mount rangefinder cameras. Its bright maximum aperture of f/1.2 offers exceptional control over depth of field, allowing you to create images with very smooth and creative background blur. Additionally, this large aperture is very useful in low-light conditions, as it allows shooting at faster shutter speeds and lower ISO sensitivities.
Launched in 2017, this lens features an optical design that incorporates two aspherical elements to minimize spherical aberrations and distortion, resulting in notable sharpness and clarity. Weighing only 315 grams and with a filter diameter of 52 mm, it is a compact and lightweight companion for your camera. Like all second-hand optics at Camera Market, this unit has been inspected and is covered by our warranty, giving you peace of mind with every shot.
