List of all Voigtländer SL lenses for Nikon F-mount

September 29, 2019

Voigtländer is one of my favorite lens brands after Nikon. I bought my first Voigtländer lens in 2015, it was the Nokton 58mm f/1.4 SL II N which I paired along with my Nikon D7100. Shortly after that I also bought the Color-Skopar 28mm f/2.8 Aspherical SL II and I love both ever since. I loved the all metal design, that made these lenses look premium as compared to Nikon's F-Mount G lenses. The only downside was these lenses are manual focus only, but I was willing to accept that in exchange for a great built quality, great image quality and a smaller foot print. Voigtländer SL lenses (lenses specifically designed for SLR cameras) are optically superb, but they're currently produced and marketed by the Japanese company Cosina. While Voigtländer had a heavy focus on SL lenses in the early 2000s, as of today their main focus are lenses for Sony's E-mount. At its peak there were 10 SL lenses for Nikon's SL mount, but right now there are only two in production. Lenses for other SLR mounts by companies like Pentax and Canon are completely discontinued. There's a vibrant market for second hand lenses on eBay, so it's still possible to get minty versions of most lenses listed in this post, especially from Japan. Due to great quality and durability, these lenses are still looking great today and will be for the foreseeable time.
