Voigtlander Nokton 25mm F0.95 II MFT Lens (2014)
Product Gallery
Product Overview
Voigtlander Nokton 25mm F0.95 II is a large-aperture manual-focus normal prime lens for Micro Four Thirds-mount. It covers the MFT image circle. Introduced by Voigtlander in 2014, it has 11 elements in 8 groups.
Manual focus may be limiting to some, but purists will find it much more engaging. There are also fewer things to go wrong on the long run. Unfortunately, Voigtlander has opted to omit weather sealing for this lens, so owners should pay extra attention when shooting in incremental weathers.
A normal prime lens, the Voigtlander Nokton 25mm F0.95 Type II has the potential to be one of the most used and ultimately versatile option in a photographer's bag. Usually the easiest to design and to QC, it is a great option for landscape and street photography. Its bright maximum aperture also helps night and portrait works. Those who like sunstars (sun bursts) will be pleased by the lens' even-numbered aperture count, though conversely those who find sunstars distracting may have the opposite feeling.
