Voigtlander Nokton 1.5/50 Prominent (1950s) on X-T3
Build: chrome plated brass
Coating: light blue single (?) coated
Filter: Voigtlander original 47mm push-in UV filter in matching chromed brass build
Expression: the original Nokton, the King of standard primes in the 1950s, was the one lens Cosina Voigtlander paid tribute to when introducing the entire new series of Noktons in the early 2000s. The orginal Nokton has a 7/5 modified Ultron optical design penned by Dr. A. W. Tronnier, the legendary lens designer who also brought us Xenon, Ultron, and APO-Lanthar. The original Nokton was offered primarily in Voigtlander's own Prominent mount but very few copies were made in its rivals' Contax rangefinder mount and Leica thread mount (LTM/M39). The Prominent-mount Nokton lacks focus mechanism (because focusing is done in the camera) and thus requires an adapter with a helicoid if you want to use it on a digital mirrorless camera.
