Veteran lens maker Cosina Voigtlander joins forces with Micro four third system group. At the same time, Cosina introduces Nokton 25mm f/.95 lens. This lens will be equivalent to 50mm in full frame SLR camera.
What special about this lens is the maximum aperture. Because micro four third system use smaller image sensor, it is harder to achieve soft and smooth bokeh (background blur). With this lens, the problem is solved. You will get pleasing bokeh similar to to f/2 in full frame sensor camera. In addition, you can shoot virtually in any light condition.
Unfortunately, this is a manual focus lens, and it will be a bit be sold at around $1,000
Voigtlander Nokton lenses are popular among Panasonic GF1 users, and users have to mount special adapter to connect the camera with Nokton lenses. But this is not the case with Nokton 25mm f/.95 because it is designed for m43.
