A normal-length prime lens designed for M-mount rangefinder cameras the Nokton Classic 40mm f/1.4 MC from Voigtlander blends the comfortable unique focal length with an especially bright f/1.4 maximum aperture which benefits working in low-light conditions as well as offering increased control over depth of field. This edition of the 40mm f/1.4 also features a single coating as opposed to a more common multi-layered coating which offers a subtler image quality with slightly reduced contrast that is especially well-suited to black and white applications. The lens also features a manual focus design for working with subjects as close as 2.3′ and has a 10-blade diaphragm for a smooth bokeh quality.
