Voigtlander 58mm F1.4 SLII-S Nokton - Nikon Fit - Silver

The silver Nokton 58mm f/1.4 SL II S lens combines classic design with contemporary touches. Known for its extended focal length, the 58mm stands as an all-round prime lens that is best suited to capturing dynamic portraiture. An Ai-S type CPU permits in-camera adjustments of the aperture setting - resulting in more intuitive exposure control. This lens is ideal for working with a shallow depth of field or selective focus techniques, utilising a bright maximum aperture and 58mm focal length. Manual focusing is smooth, with both depth of field and focus distance scales clearly identifiable along the lens barrel. Another nod to its 1960s origins is the scalloped focus ring that allows for easy-handling and adds to the Voigtlander's overall classic aesthetic. This 58mm F1.4 SLII-S is tailor-made for FX-format Nikon F-mount DSLRs - providing a unique perspective that trumps most other 50mm lenses within its range.

Stunning Image-Capturing

Due to its slightly increased length compared to stereotypical prime lenses, this 58mm f/1.4 lens is designed for FX-format Nikon F-mount DSLRs. However, it can also be used with DX models - providing an 87mm equivalent focal length. This Voigtlander produces a seriously crisp image with beautiful bokeh, whilst the wide aperture performs well under difficult lighting conditions.

The double gauss optical design ensures that both chromatic and spherical aberrations have a lesser effect on the overall clarity and sharpness of the image. This may take some getting used to compared to more contemporary-style lenses - but don't be fooled. It is so worth the wait when you capture ‘that' perfect image.

1960s Aesthetics

The Voigtlander 58mm F1.4 SLII-S Nokton lens not only captures beautiful bokeh and sharp detailing, but it also looks great doing it. The all-metal lens barrel is a nod to the original lens's creation in the 1960s. As well as focus distance and depth of field scales being present along its length. It also incorporates a scalloped focus ring and smooth focusing action to improve its overall handling - providing the winning combination of vintage styling and contemporary construction.
