This lens is specially designed for manual focusing coupled precisely with the camera?s optical rangefinder system. Compared with a single lens reflex camera finder, the rangefinder focusing system focuses wide angle lenses with much more precision, enabling the photographer to use the shallow depth of focus offered by the large maximum aperture with peace of mind. The lens couples with the camera?s rangefinder from infinity down to 0.70m (differs depending on the camera) and features a helicoid that enable the lens to focus down to a minimum focus distance of 0.50m. The feature really shows its strengths when shooting using a camera with live view functionality. The included bayonet type rectangular hood is stylish, effective at shielding stray light and can be easily attached to and removed from the lens.

You may ask why this lens has been announced - when Voigtlander already have a 50mm f1.1. The 50mm f1.2 is a brand new lens design, with a similar specification to the exceedingly popular 40mm f1.2 VM lens.

This lens features two aspherical elements & a 12 aperture blade diaphragm - allowing exceptional performance from F22 all the way to wide open.

The 50mm f1.2 is designed for use with both digital and film photography and is equipped with a rangefinder coupling cam. The minimum close focus distance of this lens is 70cm.

Both the LH-8 and LH-10 lens hoods can be used with this lens. The LH-10 is a brand new lens hood designed for this lens, though you can also use the more compact LH-8.
