Voigtländer NOKTON 75mm F1.5 Aspherical for the Sony E-mount
Fast F1.5 Medium telephoto lens with outstanding bokeh
NOKTON is the title given to large aperture F1.5 or faster Voigtländer lenses.
In the 1950s when the first generation NOKTON was introduced, it was positioned as a lens that made photography possible
even in very low-light conditions.
In contrast, the advantage of large-aperture lenses in today's world, where image sensors have become more sensitive, is the
ability to use bokeh and limited depth of field as photographic expression.
At maximum aperture of F1.5 the NOKTON provides outstanding bokeh in the out of focus images.
The NOKTON 75mm F1.5 E Aspherical is a large aperture manual focus medium telephoto lens exclusively for Sony E-mount.
The NOKTON is optimized for Sony E camera sensors. The lens is equipped with electronic contacts enabling correction of vignetting,
lateral chromatic aberration, and distortion by setting ON/OFF on the body side, in addition to reflecting the lens usage status in the Exif
information of the shooting data.
The built-in distance encoder is compatible with cameras equipped with 5-axis in-body image stabilization, which uses distance information to
the subject for shift stabilization.
The lens also allows viewfinder magnification by operating the focus ring for comfortable manual focusing.
The optical design has seven elements in six groups providing both compactness and high performance despite the large aperture of F1.5.
The aspherical lens provides excellent resolution wide open at F1.5.
The minimum focusing distance is 0.55m.
Focusing is traditional manual focusing only, not AF.
The metal focus ring has a diamond pattern for excellent grip.
It is stable even when attached to commercially available focusing gear for moving images, and the high-precision metal
helical provides silky smooth focusing.
The aperture is controlled by the lens aperture ring, not by a camera's command dial.
For video shooting, the aperture ring can select clickless operation aperture and slightly longer focal length makes it ideal
for "large background blurring" photography, as well as for rendering out of focus areas of point light sources in a well rounded manner.
The aperture iris is nearly circular with 12 aperture blades.
The metal screw in lens hood is included.
