Voigtlander's ultra-fast manual-focus 40mm for Nikon Z — f/1.2 with electronic contacts and stunning bokeh.
The Voigtlander Nokton 40mm f/1.2 Z is a manual-focus ultra-fast prime designed natively for Nikon Z-mount. The Nokton designation indicates Voigtlander's fastest lens tier. At f/1.2 it provides extremely shallow depth of field with electronic EXIF communication.
Optically distinctive — produces beautiful, characterful rendering at f/1.2 with the classic Nokton look. Sharp from f/2 with dreamy wide-open performance. The f/1.2 aperture enables extraordinary subject isolation at the slightly-wider-than-normal 40mm perspective. Smooth precision focus ring.
Nikon Z mount with 58mm filter thread. Weighs approximately 420g. Electronic contacts for aperture control and EXIF data — full camera integration despite manual focus. Minimum focus distance 35cm. 12 aperture blades — extremely smooth bokeh. Metal construction.
Available used at mid-range to professional prices. The electronic contacts make this much more usable than fully manual Voigtlander lenses — EXIF data and in-camera aperture control. The Nikon Z 40mm f/2 is much cheaper for casual use. For those who value the f/1.2 rendering and manual focus experience.
