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.
