A well-rounded wide-angle prime that promises excellent low-light performance, the silver Nokton 28mm f/1.5 Vintage Aspherical Type I VM Lens from Voigtlander is a compact lens designed for M-mount rangefinder cameras. Its wide focal length makes this lens ideal for landscape, architecture, and street photography. Featured within its modern optical design are two aspherical lens elements which reduce aberrations and improve image sharpness. A 12-bladed diaphragm contributes to smooth and flattering bokeh.

Q: 1. Not sure of the FF - to - APSC calculations, but wouldn't this be roughly equivalent to Fuji's 50 f2?

A: As far as perspective is concerned on the same size sensor, a 50mm is a 50mm is a 50mm. In other words, if mounted on the same camera, they will have identical perspectives.

Q: 2. Interested in ordering this Lense to mount on Canon EF mount?

A: I'm sorry there are no adapters that exist to mount Leica M to Canon EF body.

Q: 3. How does this compare to the Voigtlander 50mm f1.2?

A: The f1.2 version is higher quality because it has 2 aspherical elements (the f1.5 only has 1) plus the f1.2 has one partial dispersion element while the f1.5 has none.

Q: 4. Does this lens come with a lens hood? If not which hood fits? I searched for Nokton 50mm f1.5 lens hood, but came up with nothing...

A: The lens does come with a lens hood. It would be in the box.

Q: 5. Is the type II silver version chrome plated or painted?

A: Being that the Voigtlander Nokton Vintage Line 35mm f/1.5 Aspherical Type II VM Lens is comprised of brass, it would have a painted silver finish.

Q: 6. Will this fit on a Bessa R?

A: No, the Voigtlander Nokton 75mm f/1.5 Aspherical Lens will not fit on the original Voigtlander Bessa R. The Bessa R had the Leica Thread-Mount (LTM) and cannot use Leica M-mount lenses.

Q: 7. Will this fit an M4P?

A: Yes, this is an M-mount lens so it will fit a Leica M4P.

Q: 8. I think this lens would block partially the viewfinder on a Leica M3. Does anybody know how much?

A: Very slight block, not enough to be a hindrance.

Q: 9. Is its 36mm length measured from lens mount, or from the actual rear element (farther than lens mount)? Looks longer than 36mm.

A: Yes this does show the framing and has proper rangefinder focusing with this lens on the Leica M.
