I was under impression that the Nokton 50/1.1 didnt have any "fancy" glass, like ASPH , SD, APO, etc. Than I came across this at the B&H Site:
"The Voigtlander Nokton 50mm f/1.1 Lens is a high speed aspherical lens for VM lens mount rangefinder cameras. The lens is constructed with 7 elements in 6 groups, accepts 58mm filters and has as a minimum focusing distance of 3.28' (1m). This very fast and sharp lens weighs less than 16 oz., features an all-metal lens barrel construction, and a 10 bladed aperture diaphragm which creates pleasing out-of-focus highlights. Click stop aperture movements at half-stop intervals makes subtle adjustments in exposure or depth-of-field easy.
The Nokton lens is unusual in the rangefinder field because of the use of modern aspherical lens element fabrication technology on the rear element. The lens is constructed with two aspherical surfaces and one SD (super-low dispersion) glass element. This maintains the high level of image quality that rangefinder customers have become used to while keeping a highly competitive price point. "

So, can anyone confirm if this is correct?

If it really concerns you just check it out on the Voigtlander website.

Ok, Thanks for NOTHING!
BTW, CQ and Voigtlander.com dont seem say anything about this lens having ASPH. elements. So, I thought that maybe B&H has some more info than listed on those sites. Or its an error. So, if anyone can tell for sure - it would be nice.

The description on the Cosina website (link below) mentions the use of "ultra high refractive glass" but says nothing about aspherical elements. So, the B&H description is BS
