Voigtlander Nokton 50 mm f/1.0 lens for Nikon Z

The Voigtlander Nokton 50 mm f/1.0 is the herald of an emerging legend. The brightest and sharpest lens in the Nokton lineup, which impresses with phenomenal plasticity, excellent contrast and color reproduction. A native Z-mount version of the lens adapted for use with modern Nikon mirrorless cameras. King of the Night Voigtlanders lenses bearing the Nokton title are a line of super-bright lenses that enable work even with minimal ambient light. The new Nokton, with its f/1.0 aperture, pushes the boundaries even further by making light scarcity an asset. The paper-like, extremely shallow depth of field achieved with the f/1.0 aperture makes it possible to take striking portraits or use it in fine art photography. When the aperture is closed, the Voigtlander 50 mm f/1.0 becomes a reference lens with excellent sharpness and microcontrast. Optical masterpiece The optical design of the Nokton 50 mm f/1.0 is a true masterpiece. In a small, for this brightness of the lens, 9 optical elements arranged in 7 groups are enclosed. To ensure the highest image quality in the middle of the lenses are a floating element, a lens with aspherical lens on both sides and a crown pearl: A ground front aspherical lens with an ultra-high refractive index. It is thanks to these elements that the image generated by the lens captivates with quality and character. Light under control A perfectly functioning 12-blade aperture allows you to control the amount of light that passes through and makes out-of-focus blurs velvety smooth. The lens offers an adjustable setting range from f/1.0 to f/16, providing freedom when working with depth of field. The aperture value can be adjusted in 1/2 EV increments. The minimum focusing distance on Nikon Z-mount bodies is 45 cm. Standard-focal-length The 50 mm is the classic, so-called standard focal length for cameras with full-frame sensors. Giving a 47.9 field of view, similar to that seen by the human eye, it is one of the most commonly chosen focal lengths for portrait or reportage photography, guaranteeing a perspective and depth that is pleasing to the eye. Nikon Z mount The lens is equipped with a Nikon Z mount and is aimed at conscious professional photographers looking for a lens with outstanding optical quality. The lens built-in electronics provide support for an image stabilization system and manual focus and confirmation systems. The lens allows mounting of 62mm filters and/or the included sunshade. Quality without compromise Voigtlander lenses are renowned for their superior build quality. This is also the case with the Nokton 50 mm f/1.0. The entire barrel is made of metal, so the lens will maintain its accuracy for many years. The focus ring moves smoothly, but with the necessary resistance for precise operation.
