The NOKTON 40mm f/1.2 Aspherical Lens by Voigtlander is a large aperture f/1.2 lens for full-frame Z-mount cameras. NOKTON is the title given to fast lenses with an open f value of f/1.5 or less among Voigtlander lenses. The merit of fast lenses in modern times, where the sensitivity of image sensors has increased, is that the large bokeh at open aperture can be used as a photographic expression. The NOKTON 40mm f/1.2 Aspherical is a large aperture manual focus lens. Covering a full-frame image circle, the optical design is optimized for the image sensor of the Nikon Z system cameras. The lens construction consists of eight elements in six groups, two of which are double-sided aspherical lenses. Despite its compact size, this lens achieves an astonishingly large f/1.2 aperture.
