The NOKTON 28mm F1.5 aspherical is a wide-angle lens designed for the Leica M mount. It combines three outstanding elements: an impressively large aperture, compact dimensions and excellent optical performance.

The lens is available in two versions: Type I, made of aluminum, weighs 250 g and is available in matte black or silver. Type II, made of brass, has a special tactile quality due to its higher weight of 330 g and is available in both black and silver.

Particularly noteworthy is the included Type II focusing rod , which offers a new manual focusing experience. The metal rod can be inserted into the finger groove by loosening the screw in the finger groove and screwing the rod in. This allows the zone focusing to be adjusted even more intuitively by adjusting the angle of the rod. For example, the set distance is about 1 meter when it is rotated to the 6 o'clock position.

The classically designed lens barrel is equipped with an 8-group, 10-element optical system with two aspherical lens elements on both sides. This delivers excellent optical performance with high sharpness right to the edges, even at an aperture of F1.5.

The other technical details are also impressive: the 12 aperture blades ensure a smooth sharpness gradient and allow the photographer a high degree of creative freedom, the close-up limit of 50 cm also offers the option of an interesting perspective design of the respective subject.

A 28mm focal length has a wide range of other uses besides classic landscape photography, whereby the lens with a length of 45.5 cm and a compact 43 mm filter diameter always remains extremely mobile and flexible.

With the NOKTON 28 mm F1.5 aspherical, Voigtländer is once again setting standards in terms of image quality and design to offer demanding photographers a unique tool. This wide-angle lens combines aesthetics, mobility and optical excellence at the highest level.

The LH-6 lens hood is available as an option (recommended retail price: 79 euros).
