Voigtlander's Nokton f/1.0 for Nikon Z — the fastest 50mm available for the Z-mount system.

The Voigtlander Nokton 50mm f/1.0 Aspherical for Nikon Z is the Z-mount version of Cosina's extraordinary f/1.0 fifty, also available in Leica M (ID 3488) and Canon RF (ID 3800). At f/1.0, it is the fastest 50mm lens available for any Nikon camera. Electronic communication provides EXIF data and aperture control on Z-mount bodies.

Optical performance at f/1.0 shows the expected ultra-fast characteristics — good centre sharpness with some glow, improving rapidly by f/1.4. The aspherical element controls aberrations effectively for the specification. Bokeh is exceptionally smooth. The Nikon Z mount's wide throat diameter benefits the optical design. Benefits from Nikon's in-body VR stabilisation.

Nikon Z mount with electronic communication. Filter thread is 52mm. Weight is approximately 480 grams. Build quality is outstanding with precision Cosina engineering. Manual focus only — no AF. The aperture ring has half-stop clicks. Focus accuracy is critical at f/1.0 — the Z-mount EVF and focus peaking assist greatly with precise focusing.

Limited availability as a newer lens. Check focus accuracy — at f/1.0, precision is essential. An extraordinary lens that brings f/1.0 speed to the Nikon Z system. The electronic communication and Nikon body VR add significant practical value. For creative portraiture and extreme low-light work, nothing else in Z mount compares.
