The 40/1.4 Nokton VM has quickly become the most popular lens from Voigtlander's second generation lens range with Leica fit VM bayonet mounts. It has an semi wide 56° diagonal angle of view designed to render a very natural perspective on the 35mm frame.
Its focal length makes it an ideal alternative standard lens, offering a wider field of view, and the fast aperture is available to maximise defocus effects from its shallow depth of field.
This focal length is a personal favourite of Mr Kobayashi apparently, and available is single coated and multi-coated versions. The former makes a beautiful low contrast lens, and ideal for portraiture. It is also well suited to lower contrast Black & White work or subtle tonality on colour negative film.
