Announcing Voigtländer NOKTON 21mm F1.4 Aspherical VM\
A Super Wide-Angle lens for VM-mount
The NOKTON 21mm F1.4 Aspherical VM is a large maximum
aperture manual focus lens optimized for the imaging sensors of
VM-mount digital cameras. The 21mm focal length covers an
angle of 90.3°to create a super dynamic perspective.
Generally the wider a lens gets , the deeper the depth of focus of
the lens; however, with the NOKTON 21mm F1.4 Aspherical
VM-mount lens, the extremely large maximum aperture for a super
wide-angle lens enables imaging that utilizes “bokeh”(out-of-focus
blur). The lens utilizes a floating mechanism to maintain excellent
imaging quality throughout the focusing range from close distance
to infinity.
Furthermore, the lens features aspherical optics to eliminate
distortion and chromatic aberrations in addition to enabling a
compact optical design despite the large maximum aperture.
This lens is specially designed for manual focusing coupled precisely with the camera’s optical rangefinder
system. Compared with a single lens reflex camera finder, the rangefinder focusing system focuses wide angle
lenses with much more precision, enabling the photographer to use the shallow depth of focus offered by the
large maximum aperture with peace of mind. The lens couples with the camera’s rangefinder from infinity down to
0.70m (differs depending on the camera) and features a helicoid that enable the lens to focus down to a minimum
focus distance of 0.50m. The feature really shows its strengths when shooting using a camera with live view
functionality. The included bayonet type rectangular hood is stylish, effective at shielding stray light and can be
easily attached to and removed from the lens.
