The focus throw angle is not very long at ~100 degrees allowing precision and fast focusing. The focus ring runs smoothly and the aperture ring has defined 1/2 stop clicks. The Voigtlander 35mm f/1.5 Nokton is very well built. It sports 12 aperture blades for well defined 12-point sunstars. On the Leica M10-R, the lens balances well and does not block the 35mm frameline. It weighs a mere 192 grams, making it a perfect companion for travel, hikes and landscapes. When picking up the lens for the first time, I was shocked by how light it was. I will be reviewing the Type I version in "matte" black paint, which is gorgeous and the matches the finish of my Leica M10-R Black Chrome. It is available in both Type I aluminum (192g) or Type II brass (284g), features a small φ39mm filter diameter and focus down to 0.5m. Although it features a "vintage" exterior style, it's equipped with a modern optical formula reminiscent of the Voigtlander 35/1.2 III Nokton design, featuring 9 elements in 6 groups with 4 aspherical surfaces. The new Voigtlander 35mm f/1.5 Nokton is a very compact addition to Voigtlander's Vintage line. Pre-order the Voigtlander 35mm f/1.5 Nokton lens: ($899)Ībout the Voigtlander 35mm f/1.5 Nokton lens:
