The Voigtlander Nokton 23mm f/1.2 Aspherical Lens offers excellent optical performance and precise focusing action. This compact lens is designed for X-Mount, providing a 35mm-equivalent focal length. Its bright f/1.2 maximum aperture allows for versatile shooting in various lighting conditions. While maintaining a small size and lightweight, the lens incorporates two low-dispersion glass elements and one aspherical element. Furthermore, a metal helicoid unit, subjected to rigorous quality control, contributes to its compactness.
While the lens features a manual focus and mechanical design, it is fully compatible with digital camera bodies and supports communication with them. Thus, it can take advantage of various camera features that rely on this interface. The lens's 12-blade diaphragm, with a rounded shape, ensures pleasant circular bokeh across all apertures. Additionally, the lens includes a built-in aperture ring for easy aperture control.
