===== Voigtländer 35mm f/1.2 Nokton Aspherical IV ===== 
{{ :lens:vm-35_12-iv_klein.jpg?400|}}
==== Summary ====
The Voigtländer 35 mm F1.2 aspherical version IV is a manually focusable prime lens for the Leica M system, which is characterized by exceptional speed, outstanding imaging performance and a high-quality full metal body. As the fourth generation of this legendary lens type, it combines modern optical precision with traditional mechanics – ideal for demanding photographers who want to work manually. The optical construction consists of 9 elements in 7 groups, including four aspherical surfaces. These ensure effective correction of aberrations such as spherical aberration or distortion and enable consistently high image quality right into the corners – even at open aperture. The use of glass with a high refractive index further optimizes contrast and sharpness. The impressive speed of F1.2 not only offers excellent reserves in low light, but also enables a very pronounced background blur and targeted cropping of the subject. The 12-blade aperture has been specially designed to achieve the most circular aperture possible, which ensures a particularly soft and natural-looking bokeh – ideal for portraits, street photography or atmospheric reportage. A special feature is the extended close-up limit: while the rangefinder allows coupling down to 0.7 m, the lens can even be focused down to 0.5 m in Live View mode. This flexibility opens up additional creative possibilities for close-ups and detailed studies. The precisely crafted metal housing accommodates a finely tuned helicoid focusing unit with optimum torque. It enables extremely precise, smooth focusing – an important feature, especially at open aperture, when the focus range is extremely narrow. With its compact form factor, the lens remains pleasantly handy and balanced – both on rangefinder cameras and on mirrorless system cameras via adapters. The VM bayonet mount is fully compatible with the Leica M mount and makes the lens the ideal choice for anyone who wants to combine classic photography with uncompromising quality.
