Voigtländer 10.5mm F0.95 Nokton  for Micro Four Thirds in very good condition

A part of the ongoing expansion of manual focus lenses for the Micro Four Thirds system, the Voigtländer 10.5mm F0.95 super wide angle is also that company's fourth F0.95 Nokton in its MFT series. Attached to a Micro Four Thirds body, the 10.5mm focal length behaves as a 21mm would on a full-frame system, providing a 93° angle of view. Designed for stills and video photographers, it features an adjustable aperture ring that can be used uncoupled for continuous and silent f-stop alterations.

The lens is neither especially small nor light, though for the specification it is a good deal more compact than a similar lens for a full-frame or even APS-C system. The weight is all aft of the middle section, right under the focusing ring, so it sits comfortably enough on either prism-style or flat-topped bodies.

The lens is remarkable in its lack of distortion however, and the shape and size of the picture doesn't change as we focus through the range to infinity. I enjoyed its ability to focus to closer than 17cm/7in, and the surprising visual effects that can be had with a wide aperture and the wide view when close to the subject. Even at that distance we only manage 4:1 macro, but the proximity is impressive as is the degree of softening - and vignetting - around the edges of the frame that adds to the shallow depth of field effect.

The lens is extremly well built, and both focus and aperture rings turn smoothly and with just enough resistance.
