Product Description
“NOKTON” is the name given to large-aperture lenses within the Voigtländer lineup that have a maximum aperture of F1.5 or lower.
When the first NOKTON was introduced in the 1950s, it was positioned as a lens that enabled photography even in low-light
conditions. In contrast, in today’s world where image sensors have become increasingly sensitive, the advantage of large-aperture lenses lies in the ability to utilize the pronounced bokeh created by opening the aperture as a photographic expression.
The NOKTON 35mm F1.2 Aspherical Z-mount is F1.2 wide-angle lenses that combine a large F1.2 aperture with a compact size.
The optical design of the NOKTON 35mm F1.2 Aspherical Z-mount consists of 7 groups and 9 elements, including two double-sided aspherical lenses based on the current VM-mount model, and is optimized for full-frame Nikon Z-mount sensors. Large-aperture lenses for mirrorless cameras tend to have an increasing number of optical elements due to the pursuit of performance, which in turn leads to larger dimensions and increased weight. In contrast, Voigtländer believes that offering the best balance between sufficient optical performance and portability in its interchangeable lenses creates a rich user experience.
The NOKTON 35mm F1.2 Aspherical Z-mount lenses feature a compact size and a weight that makes them easy to handle, while also offering a large F1.2 aperture and beautiful bokeh thanks to their 12-blade diaphragm. With a minimum focusing distance of 0.3m, the close-focusing effect allows for even greater bokeh, further expanding the possibilities for shooting that makes the most of bokeh at wide-open aperture.
The NOKTON 35mm F1.2 Aspherical Z-mount is equipped with electronic contacts; when used with a body that supports electronic communication and the latest firmware, it provides not only Exif information and in-body image stabilization (3-axis) but also three types of focusing assistance functions (focusing via focus point frame color changes, focusing via focus peaking, and via the magnification button). The metal focus ring features a classic knurled pattern that offers excellent operability.
