Voigtlander NOKTON 28mm Aspherical Nikon Z Full Size Single Focus Wide Angle Lens Manual Focus Nikon NIKON Z Mount Interchangeable Lens F1.5

NOKTON 28mm F1.5 Aspherical is a large-diameter manual focus wide-angle lens exclusively for Nikon Z mount. It covers a full-size image circle and the optical design is optimized for Nikon Z system camera image sensors. This lens is equipped with electronic contacts to enable electrical communication between the lens and the body. The combination of a telecommunications compatible body and the latest firmware*1 supports Exif information, in-body image stabilization (3 axes), and three types of focusing support functions (focusing by changing the color of the focus point frame, focusing by the peaking function, and focusing by the enlarge button). The lens construction is 10 elements in 8 groups, and the use of aspherical lenses provides excellent descriptive power even at maximum aperture. Although it has a large aperture of F1.5, it is compact with a total length of 57mm and has high performance. Due to its easy-to-handle size and large diameter, it can also be used as a "night snap shooter." The shortest shooting distance is 0.28m, and focusing is manual focus only. The metal focus ring has a classic knurling pattern that is easy to operate. One of its features is the silky, greased operating feel of the high-precision metal helicoid that can withstand even the most demanding focusing when the aperture is wide open. The aperture is mechanically controlled and is directly connected to the control ring, and is adjusted on the lens side rather than the command dial on the camera side. The large aperture of F1.5 and short minimum shooting distance make it possible to create photographs that blur the background, especially in close-up areas, and the 12-element aperture is close to a circle, making it possible to clearly depict out-of-focus areas of point light sources. This lens comes with a special screw-in metal lens hood.
