Voigtlander Nokton 40mm f1.2
The NOKTON 40mm F1.2 Aspherical Z mount is a large-aperture lens compatible with full-size (Nikon FX format) mirrorless cameras that uses the Nikon Z mount. Double-sided aspherical lenses are used for two of the eight elements in six groups. Despite its compact size, this full-frame 40mm lens achieves a surprisingly large aperture of F1.2. You can enjoy optical performance that can be used with confidence even at maximum aperture, and smooth and large bokeh.
Main features
Specially designed for Nikon Z mount
Equipped with an optical system optimized for the image sensor of a mirrorless camera that uses the Nikon Z mount. This lens has a full-size image circle and can be used with both full-size (Nikon FX format) mirrorless cameras and APS-C size (Nikon DX format) mirrorless cameras.
Information communication with the body by electronic contact
An electronic contact is mounted on the lens mount, enabling electrical communication between the lens and the body. In addition to Exif information and in-body image stabilization (3-axis), three types of focusing support functions (focusing by changing the color of the focus point frame, focusing by peaking) are provided by combining a body that supports telecommunications and the latest firmware*1. , and focusing with the zoom button).
Manual focus for reliable focus operation
The use of an all-metal helicoid unit that has been processed and adjusted with high precision and high-quality grease that produces just the right amount of torque enables focusing with a smooth operating feel. It enables fine focus adjustment.
Beautiful bokeh with 10 aperture blades
A 10-blade diaphragm is used to make the hole formed by the diaphragm blades closer to a circle. Out-of-focus areas are rendered naturally, and point light sources are not polygonal but softly rounded.
Versatile angle of view
Since the angle of view of 40mm is equivalent to 60mm for APS-C size cameras, it can be used as a standard lens for both full size (Nikon FX format) and APS-C size (Nikon DX format).
Voigtlander Macro APO-Ultron D35mm f/2
The MACRO APO-ULTRON D35mm F2 Z mount is a large aperture standard macro lens for APS-C size (Nikon DX format) mirrorless cameras that uses the Nikon Z mount. Adopts the latest optical system that uses 3 abnormal partial dispersion glass elements in a 6-group, 9-element configuration. In addition to the apochromat design for natural color reproduction without color bleeding, it has a large aperture of F2, which is unusual for a macro lens, and is finished in a compact style.
Main features
Specially designed for Nikon Z mount
Equipped with an optical system optimized for the image sensor of a mirrorless camera that uses the Nikon Z mount. This lens has an APS-C size image circle, and can be used by setting the camera’s imaging range to DX format when used with a full-frame camera.

Maximum magnification 1:2
The shortest shooting distance is 0.163m. For focus adjustment, a front focus system is used in which six elements in the front four groups move back and forth. Compared to the method that extends the entire optical system, it is possible to shorten the extension while ensuring high image quality in all areas from long distance to close range.
Apochromatic design
The axial chromatic aberration and lateral chromatic aberration are thoroughly suppressed in order to correspond to the high pixel count of today’s digital sensors.
