Voigtländer Nokton 40 mm f/1.2 SE

The Voigtländer Nokton 40 mm F1.2 Aspherical SE E-Mount is a comparatively very compact lens with a focal length appreciated by many photographers, suitable for a wide range of universal purposes (equivalent to approximately 60 mm on an APS-C sensor). It features an extremely solid construction, made entirely of glass and metal, and offers a rich yet sensitive handling experience. The electrical contacts transmit relevant information to the camera, and the optical design is optimized for the latest Sony full-frame sensors, making manual focusing a breeze thanks to the focus peaking function.

The high light intensity of F1.2 allows for gentle subject isolation and provides ample reserves even in challenging lighting situations. In terms of image quality and performance, the Voigtländer Nokton 40 mm F1.2 Aspherical SE E-Mount delivers excellent results, clearly distinguishing itself in its class. The product line for the Sony E-mount with the SE (for "Still Edition") designation is aimed at photographers who can forgo the stepless (and silent) aperture adjustment important for videography. The SE models intentionally omit this elaborate precision mechanism, so all SE lenses feature only a click-stopped aperture adjustment that can be set in 1/3 stops. Thus, all photographers who "only" take photos are provided with a tool that delivers first-class results in the outstanding quality expected from Voigtländer.
