Voigtlander has announced the NOKTON 28mm f/1.5 Aspherical lens for Nikon Z-mount digital mirrorless cameras.
Following the announcement of the new APO-LANTHAR 35mm f/2 Aspherical II lens for Nikon Z, Voigtlander has once again demonstrated its commitment to supporting first-party digital mirrorless brands.
Voigtlander is the world’s oldest photography brand. Founded in 1756 in Austria as an optics manufacturer, it is now owned by the Japanese parent company Cosina.
Voigtalner NOKTON 28mm f/1.5 Aspherical For Nikon Z
Designed specifically for Nikon Z-mount cameras, the full-frame Voigtalner NOKTON 28mm f/1.5 Aspherical lens is a fast standard prime lens ideal for everyday use as a ‘walkabout’ compact prime.
Developed under a license agreement with Nikon, the 28mm f/1.5 delivers exceptional optical performance in any lighting conditions.
The fast f/1.5 maximum aperture and 12-bladed aperture deliver exceptional center sharpness, subject separation, and gorgeous background blur and bokeh.
Internally, the NOKTON 28mm boasts a lens assembly of ten elements in eight groups, including aspherical lens elements, for optimal outcomes.
The manual focus prime for Nikon Z features an all-metal assembly, including a manual aperture and focus ring for ergonomic control.
While aperture and focus are controlled via the lens, the Voigtlander NOKTON 28mm has electronic contacts to support lens-to-body EXIF information exchange, in-body camera image stabilization, and a range of focus performance modes.
The Voigtlander NOKTON 28mm f/1.5 Aspherical full-frame lens delivers an 11″ (28cm) minimal focus distance, supports 52mm filters, and delivers a 74.6º field of view.
Voigtlander is known for its premium materials and finishes; the NOKTON 28mm is no exception. The compact lens measures 2.66 x 2.24 (67.6 x 57mm) and weighs 12.7oz (360g).
Despite being lightweight, the Voigtlander is robust and built with precision.
The pricing and release details for the NOKTON 28mm f/1.5 Aspherical lens for full-frame Nikon Z-mount mirrorless cameras are yet to be formalized.
