Alongside the 60mm F0.95 it released, Cosina Japan has also announced the Voigtlander Nokton 35mm F1.2 Aspherical III VM lens for Leica M-mount camera systems.
Like the 60mm F0.95 lens, the Voigtlander Nokton 35mm F1.2 VM lens doesn’t yet have pricing or availability information available for regions outside of Japan, where it’s expected to be released in March 2020 for ¥135,000.
The lens is constructed of nine elements in seven groups, features an aperture range of F1.2 through F22 and has a 12-blade aperture diaphragm. The minimum focusing distance is 50cm (20in) and the front filter thread is 52mm.
Compared to its second-generation predecessor, the Voigtlander Nokton 35mm F1.2 Aspherical III VM has been reduced in size, coming in at 20-percent shorter and 30-percent lighter at 50.5mm (2in) and 332g (11.7oz), respectively. The lens will work with all M-mount Leica cameras and most Vessa cameras (not the Bessa L or R).
