Lens Overview — Voigtlander 25mm f/0.95 Type II
Key Features — Voigtlander 25mm f/0.95 Type II
f/0.95 Maximum Aperture: One of the fastest lenses available for the Micro Four Thirds system, enabling shooting in very low light without flash or high ISO.
50mm Full-Frame Equivalent: The 25mm focal length produces a classic normal field of view on MFT cameras, suitable for street, portrait, and documentary work.
Extreme Shallow Depth of Field: At f/0.95, the lens produces very strong background separation, isolating subjects with pronounced bokeh even on the smaller MFT sensor.
Native MFT Mount: Designed specifically for Micro Four Thirds, it mounts directly on bodies from Panasonic and Olympus/OM System without adapters.
Manual Focus Only: A dedicated manual focus ring gives videographers smooth, precise control for repeatable focus pulls and deliberate still shooting.
Type II Optics: The second-generation design includes refinements to reduce focus breathing and improve rendering compared to the original Nokton 25mm f/0.95.

Description — Voigtlander 25mm f/0.95 Type II
The Voigtlander Nokton 25mm f/0.95 Type II is a prime lens built exclusively for the Micro Four Thirds mirrorless system. Its defining characteristic is a maximum aperture of f/0.95, one of the fastest apertures available for any MFT lens, enabling shooting in very low ambient light and producing pronounced subject separation. The focal length is fixed at 25mm, making it a single-perspective tool that rewards careful composition.
Focusing is fully manual, with no autofocus capability, which gives the shooter complete control and suits both deliberate still photography and precise video focus work. The lens accepts 52mm filters, a practical and widely available thread size. Weighing 410 grams, it has a solid, substantial feel.
There is no image stabilization in the lens itself, so any stabilization must come from the camera body. For MFT shooters who prioritize maximum aperture, manual focus discipline, and a consistent 25mm field of view, the Nokton 25mm f/0.95 Type II is a purpose-built option within the MFT ecosystem.

Frequently Asked Questions — Voigtlander 25mm f/0.95 Type II
Does this lens autofocus on Micro Four Thirds cameras?+
No. The Voigtlander Nokton 25mm f/0.95 Type II is a manual focus only lens — the specifications confirm autoFocus is false. All focusing must be performed by hand using the focus ring.
What camera mount does this lens use?+
The lens uses the Micro Four Thirds mount, as specified in the mount data. It is designed for MFT mirrorless camera bodies.
Does the lens have built-in image stabilization?+
No. The specifications list image stabilization as None. If stabilization is needed, it must come from the camera body itself.
What filter size does this lens accept?+
The lens has a 52mm filter thread, so any standard 52mm filters — such as ND or circular polarizers — will fit directly.
How heavy is the Nokton 25mm f/0.95 Type II?+
The lens weighs 410 grams. For a Micro Four Thirds lens, this is on the heavier side, which is a direct result of the fast f/0.95 maximum aperture optics it contains.
Is this lens suitable for video use on MFT cameras?+
The manual focus design and f/0.95 maximum aperture make it a viable choice for video shooters who perform manual focus pulls and need maximum light-gathering performance. However, there is no autofocus or built-in image stabilization to assist with handheld video work.
