Versatile Wide-Angle Prime. The Voigtlander 35mm f/1.4 Nokton II’s combination of wide focal length and fast aperture makes it ideal for portraiture, shooting in difficult light, and achieving shallow depth of field and subject-background isolation. The ten-blade diaphragm helps produce large, pleasing bokeh.

Refined Optics. The 35mm f/1.4’s symmetrical six-group/eight-element optical design includes an abnormal partial-dispersion element that helps provide exceptional sharpness and clarity while preventing spherical aberrations and distortion throughout the aperture range. The optical system has been revised for improved performance with digital cameras, with substantially reduced field curvature and astigmatism for greater sharpness and focusing accuracy.

Manual Focus Design. This lens’s manual-focus design gives you smooth, precise control over focus placement, and it has a 2.3-foot minimum focusing distance.
