Product Information
Full details
The Voigtlander Nokton 17.5mm f/0.95 is a premium, high-speed manual focus prime lens designed for Micro Four Thirds (MFT) camera systems, ideal for photographers and videographers seeking exceptional low-light performance and creamy bokeh.

FAQs
Does this lens provide autofocus?
No, this is a strictly manual focus lens. You must adjust the focus ring by hand.
Can I use this on a Sony or Fuji camera?
This lens is designed for the Micro Four Thirds mount. Using it on other systems would require a specific third-party lens adapter, which may not maintain full functionality.
What is the filter size for this lens?
The lens utilizes a 58mm filter thread.
Is the aperture ring silent?
Yes, when the selective aperture control is set to the stepless mode, the aperture changes are completely soundless, which is ideal for video.
What is the closest distance I can focus?
The lens features a minimum focus distance of 15cm (0.15m).
How many diaphragm blades does it have?
It features 10 diaphragm blades, which contribute to the smooth, rounded bokeh.
Troubleshooting
Camera does not recognize the lens or shutter will not fire
Enable the 'Shoot without lens' or 'Release shutter w/o lens' setting in your camera's custom menu.
Images appear blurry or soft
Verify your focus peaking settings on the camera to ensure you have achieved critical focus manually before shooting.
Aperture ring feels loose or stiff
Check the selective aperture control switch to ensure it is fully engaged in either the 'clicked' or 'stepless' position.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Incredible performance in low-light conditions
- Silent, stepless aperture control perfect for videography
- Excellent close-focusing capabilities (15cm)
- Beautiful, smooth bokeh rendering
- Compact form factor suited for MFT bodies

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This lens is designed specifically for the Micro Four Thirds (MFT) mount interface. To attach, align the lens index mark with the camera mount dot and rotate clockwise until it clicks. Since the lens is manual-focus and manual-aperture, ensure your camera is set to 'Shoot without lens' mode in the settings to allow the shutter to fire.
Care Instructions:
- Keep the front and rear elements clean using a microfiber lens cloth.
- Use the included lens hood to prevent unwanted flare and protect the front element from accidental impact.
- Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent fungus growth.
- Avoid aggressive cleaning fluids; use professional lens cleaning solution sparingly on the cloth, not directly on the glass.
