A fast short normal prime for full-frame Sony E mirrorless cameras, the Nokton 40mm f/1.2 Aspherical Lens from Voigtlander is an excellent choice for working in low-light conditions and offers notable control over depth of field for producing shallow depth of field imagery. It can also be used on APS-C models where it will provide a 60mm equivalent focal length. Contacts transfer all Exif data between the camera and lens in order to permit full use of camera functions, including focus magnification, image stabilisation, and lens corrections. Complementing the fast design is an optical layout that uses two aspherical elements to suppress spherical aberrations and distortion for notable sharpness, clarity, and accurate rendering, and a ten-blade diaphragm contributes to attractive out of focus areas. The lenss manual focus design permits working with subjects as close as 1.1 away, and a Selective Aperture Control System allows you to de-click the manual aperture ring for smooth, silent exposure adjustment to suit filmmaking applications. The aperture ring can also be configured to utilise traditional 1/3-stop clicks for more intuitive tactile control over exposure settings.
