The Voigtlander Nokton 58mm f/1.4 SL II for Nikon is a revision of the classic, limited-run Voigtlander Topcor lens. Key features include:

Excellent Sharpness. The Voigtlander Nokton 58mm f/1.4 SL II for Nikon provides superb resolution in the center even wide open, and in the edges and corners by f/2.0. At f/5.6 its sharp enough that it exceeds most reviewers’ ability to measure—one of the few lenses that can do so. Basically, the lens provides the image quality of Zeiss or Nikon primes costing much more.

Versatility. This lens’s combination of focal length and bright maximum aperture gives you extensive focus-placement control, making it great for selective-focus and shallow depth-of-field work. It’s excellent for portraiture and low-light photography.

Manual Focus. This lens’s manual-focus design gives you precise control, but the camera handles metering in a fashion similar to the Zeiss ZF lenses. The 58mm f/1.4 has a .14x maximum magnification ratio and a 1.4-foot minimum focusing distance.

High-Quality Build. The lens’s durable all-metal barrel includes depth-of-field and focus-distance scales.
