Summary
This multicoated version of the Voigtlander 50mm f/1.5 II VM ASPH Nokton Vintage MC Lens is finished in stylish nickel, complementing Leica rangefinder styling perfectly. Voigtlander’s extensive experience enabled them to redesign this second model and provide users with extremely competent image results. These are achieved through the use of aspherical glass, a pleasing manual focus system and extremely fast 12-bladed aperture. The results are superb, with pleasing bokeh and extremely sharp results even when wide open. The bright aperture suits low light making this lens versatile for almost any general shooting situation from portraits and street photography, to documentary and travel.
Features at a glance
- Classic nickel finish styling designed specifically for Leica M cameras
- Bright 12-blade aperture excels in low light and creates ultra-fine depth of field
- Well controlled aberrations and colours with aspherical glass and multicoated finish
- Smooth manual focus ring with excellent user feedback
- Multicoated finish renders natural colours with high contrast
As an updated mark II lens users can expect extremely high quality results from Voigtlander’s redesign. These are apparent in results which have a special quality associated with those we see from film photography.
Voigtlander Lens Coatings and Design Variations
Voigtlander M system lenses are designed with two different optical coatings, which are referred to as ‘SC’ and ‘MC’. This stands for single coat and multi coating. With the case of the mark II 50mm f/1.5 VM it also happens to be available in three exterior colour styles, black, silver and nickel finish. This gives us six options to choose from depending on which type of images and movies we tend to enjoy making combined with which style of lens barrel suits our camera.
In general terms single coat may be preferable for monochrome or black and white images. Mid tones are the focus for single coated optics, with subtle graduated tones and slightly less contrast which they produce. This gives the photographer a more neutral starting point for post processing, or can be simply enjoyed for the unique style of image they produce.
Conversely multicoated lenses render beautiful rich natural colours, which some users find favours their colour work. Contrast levels are slightly higher providing more hues as we might find on certain film types.

- Voigtlander 50mm f/1.5 II VM SC Lens in Black
- Voigtlander 50mm f/1.5 II VM SC Lens in Silver
