NOKTON Vintage Line 75mm F1.5 Aspherical

Very blurred bokeh and excellent handling

Features

This short telephoto lens combines an exterior design reminiscent of the glamorous styling of classic lenses with optical performance that matches contemporary photographic equipment. Despite its large F1.5 maximum aperture, this lens combines compactness with excellent optical performance. The synergistic effect of the large F1.5 maximum aperture combined with the slightly longer focal length is ideal for photographic expression utilizing very blurred backgrounds.

Main Features

Classical exterior

A design with a classical taste is utilized for the exterior. With all parts made from metal for excellent feel and operability, the lens delivers joy of ownership.

12-blade aperture diaphragm for beautiful bokeh

The aperture diaphragm is configured with 12 blades to make the aperture opening as circular as possible. This means the out-of-focus areas of images are drawn naturally and point light sources etc. are drawn as soft round bokeh rather than as polygonal shapes.

Compactness and high performance

An element with two aspherical surfaces provide excellent optical performance from maximum aperture. The lens is just 63.3mm long (from the mount surface) so only protrudes slightly into the frame when used on a rangefinder camera.

Vented hood included

Comes with either a silver or black hood that matches the color of the lens. The hood is vented to reduce protrusion into the finder and it can also be stored in the reversed position.

Manual focus for reliable focusing

Employs a very precisely machined and adjusted all metal helicoid unit lubricated with high quality grease to realize smooth focusing operation with just the right amount of torque. This enables very precise focusing.

Bayonet type VM mount

Uses the VM-mount lens mount compatible with Leica M-mount. Not only can this lens be used on rangefinder-coupled cameras, but design-wise it also balances very nicely when mounted on mirrorless digital cameras with a mount adapter.

Installed with a focus-coupling system

The high-precision rangefinder coupling mechanism enables precise focusing in focus critical situations such as when shooting at or close to maximum aperture.

Imaging circle that covers full frame format

The lens features a generous imaging circle that covers the 35 mm full frame format. Furthermore, its size is extremely compact compared to interchangeable lenses for single-lens reflex cameras.
