(Digital Photography Review)

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). You can find out more information on Cosina´s website.
