Despite its large maximum aperture of F1.5, it is compact with a total length of 55mm. The lens is made up of 10 elements in 8 groups, and the use of aspherical lenses provides excellent imaging power even at maximum aperture. With its easy-to-handle size and large aperture, this lens is also useful as a "night snap shooter."

Main Features

Compatible with Sony E-mount

Equipped with electronic contacts, the lens usage status is reflected in the Exif information of the shooting data. In addition, since it has a built-in distance encoder, it supports 5-axis image stabilization on the camera body. It is also possible to enlarge the viewfinder by operating the focus ring.


Optimized Optical Design

In addition to ensuring a full-size image circle, the optical design is optimized for Sony E-mount sensors, maintaining high resolution even at the edges of the screen and suppressing phenomena such as color casting.


The minimum shooting distance is 0.28m

The minimum shooting distance from the subject to the imaging plane is 0.28m. The perspective unique to a wide-angle lens and the maximum aperture of F1.5 enable images with shallow focus, especially in close-up areas.

Beautiful bokeh with 12 aperture blades

A 12-blade aperture is used to make the aperture shape closer to a circle, resulting in natural depiction of out-of-focus areas and soft bokeh of point light sources rather than polygonal shapes.


Manual focus for precise focusing

The all-metal helicoid unit is machined and adjusted with high precision, and the use of high-quality grease that produces just the right amount of torque makes focusing feel smooth and allows for subtle focus adjustments.

Aperture click switching mechanism

The aperture click switching mechanism allows the aperture ring to be opened and closed steplessly without making a clicking sound. This eliminates the need to worry about the sound of the aperture ring being picked up during video recording, and also enables precise depth control by fine-tuning the aperture ring.

The NOKTON 28mm F1.5 Aspherical Z Mount is a large-aperture wide-angle lens compatible with full-frame (Nikon FX format) mirrorless cameras that use the Nikon Z mount. It has a large aperture of F1.5, yet is compact and has high performance. The aspherical lens provides excellent imaging power even at wide apertures.

Main Features

Designed exclusively for Nikon Z mount

Equipped with an optical system optimized for the image sensor of mirrorless cameras that use 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.

Electronic contacts for communication with the body

The lens mount is equipped with electronic contacts, enabling electrical communication between the lens and the body. The combination of an electrical communication-enabled body and the latest firmware*1 enables Exif information, in-body image stabilization (3-axis), and three types of focusing support functions (focusing by changing the focus point frame color, focusing by peaking, and focusing by magnifying the image).


The minimum shooting distance is 0.28m

The minimum shooting distance from the subject to the imaging plane is 0.28m. The perspective unique to a wide-angle lens and the maximum aperture of F1.5 enable images with shallow focus, especially in close-up areas.

Beautiful bokeh with 12 aperture blades

A 12-blade aperture is used to make the aperture shape closer to a circle, resulting in natural depiction of out-of-focus areas, and point light sources and other objects appearing blurred in a round, soft manner rather than polygonal.

Can you please add the Voigtlander 35mm F 2 Macro Apo-Ultron lens and the Voigtlander 50mm F 1.2 Nokton lens

I have been blown away with the rendering and quality of my 50 1.0 Nokton. I have the M mount version but to be honest, I get better results with it adapted to my Nikon ZF. It makes me want to get the native ZF so the focus confirmation works. But on a scale from 1 to 10. Its a 10 baby! https://www.nikonimages.com/gallery/1/med_U1.1725620994.1.jpeg Sample from the ZF Here it is on my M https://www.leicaimages.com/gallery/1/med_U1.1700511310.0.jpg

Today, I picked up the new 50mm f1.0 Voigtlander. What a sexy beast😏 https://www.leicaimages.com/gallery/1/med_U1.1700511310.0.jpg

As you may or may not recall, Voigtlanderimages.com was originally dedicated to host images taken with Voigtlander / Cosina lenses. There were quite a few members sharing their work on the site. Then, one day it was removed by mistake along with its backup. Ever since it has been non existent. However, just recently I managed to find some old backups and together with some Sherlock Holmes work, I put together what I think we had before. If you come across any issues let me know so I can address them. JT
