Description
The Voigtländer 40mm F2.0 SEPTON Aspherical is a standard lens that combines a compact design with high image quality for full-frame cameras with Sony E-mount and Nikon Z-mount.
SEPTON was the name given to standard lenses developed for the Bessamatic and Ultramatic SLR cameras with central shutters, which were marketed in the late 1950s and 1960s as a new photographic platform intended to replace rangefinder cameras.
SEPTON refers to a lens whose optical performance was further enhanced by adding a lens element to the six-element design of the ULTRON—which debuted in 1950 for rangefinder cameras. It is considered one of Voigtländer’s legendary lenses.
The SEPTON 40mm F2 Aspherical lenses for E-mount and Z-mount are pancake-style standard lenses whose compact design is ideally suited for mirrorless cameras.
Optimized for full-frame sensors in Sony E-mount and Nikon Z-mount cameras, they achieve an aperture of f/2 while retaining the advantages of the compact Orthometar design. This is achieved by adding an aspherical lens to the six-element Orthometar design. The Orthometar design is characterized by a short optical length and extremely low distortion.
With a total length of just 30 mm from the bayonet mount (32 mm for the Z-mount), this lens is particularly easy to carry and always within reach. The 40-mm angle of view, which can also be used as a mild wide-angle, makes it the ideal everyday lens. The minimum focusing distance of 0.3 m is excellent for tabletop and close-up shots. Both the E-mount and Z-mount versions come with a dome-shaped, screw-on metal lens hood that preserves the lens’s compact design.
