Product Overview

Voigtlander Nokton 42.5mm F0.95 is a large-aperture manual-focus short telephoto prime lens for Micro Four Thirds-mount. It covers the MFT image circle. Introduced by Voigtlander in 2013, 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. The entire lens is crafted out of metal, which imparts a level of tactile sense of quality.
A telephoto prime lens, the Voigtlander Nokton 42.5mm F0.95 is well suited for portrait photography. 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.
