What is the voigtl nder nokton vintage line 35mm f 1 5 aspherical good for?

The Nokton 35mm f/1.5 is a fast, manual-focus prime for full-frame Leica M bodies. On full frame it gives a plain 35mm view, which sits in the wide band of the focal length guide. I'd reach for it for travel, street and environmental portraits.

The f/1.5 aperture is the real draw. It lets in a lot of light, so you can shoot indoors, at dusk or in dim bars without pushing the ISO too far. It has no autofocus and no stabilisation, so it suits people who like slowing down and focusing by hand.

It fits many Leica M bodies, including the Leica M10 and the Leica M11. If you want a slower, cheaper-to-carry option, the Voigtländer Ultron 35mm f/2 is the sibling to look at.
