Voigtlander Nokton Classic 40mm f/1.4 MC Lens
The Nokton Classic 40mm f/1.4 MC from Voigtlander is a normal-length prime lens created for M-mount rangefinder cameras. It combines the comfortable, distinctive focal length with an especially bright f/1.4 maximum aperture, which benefits working in low light and offers increased control over depth of field. When working in bright lighting settings, a multi-coating is included to reduce lens flare and ghosting for increased contrast and color integrity. The lens boasts a 10-blade diaphragm for a clean bokeh effect and a manual focus construction for dealing with targets as near as 2.3' away.
Features

- Working under challenging lighting situations is made easier by the bright f/1.4 maximum aperture, which also provides better depth of field control.
- This Nokton Classic 40mm f/1.4 multi-coated lens offers vibrant yet accurate colors together with great contrast and saturation, making it suitable for everyday shooting tasks.
- A minimum focusing distance of 2.3' and smooth, precise control are provided by the manual focus design.
