Is the voigtl nder nokton 17 5mm f 0 95 aspherical worth buying used?

I can't tell you what this lens costs used, since the site doesn't track prices. What I can tell you is what you'd be buying. The Voigtländer Nokton 17.5mm f/0.95 Aspherical is a manual-focus prime for Micro Four Thirds. On that sensor it frames roughly like a 35mm on full frame, and its f/0.9 aperture gives about the depth of field of f/1.9. It has no autofocus and no stabilisation, so it suits people who enjoy focusing by hand in low light.

It fits a long list of Olympus and Panasonic bodies, so compatibility is rarely the problem. If you're comfortable with manual focus and the used price is well below new, it's a sensible buy. Check the seller's condition carefully, and budget for a new battery in your camera, as explained in buying used.
