Additional information on the new Voigtlander NOKTON 75mm f/1.5 (sample photos can be found here):
- Designed exclusively for Nikon Z mount: Implements 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.
- Information communication with the body using electronic contacts: The lens mount 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 provides Exif information, in-body image stabilization (3 axes), and 3 types of focusing support functions (focusing by changing focus point frame color, focusing by peaking) , focus adjustment using the enlarge button).
- Manual focus allows for reliable focusing: The use of an all-metal helicoid unit that has been machined and adjusted with high precision and high-quality grease that produces an appropriate amount of torque provides focusing with a smooth operating feel. This allows for delicate focus adjustments.
- Beautiful bokeh created by 12 aperture blades: In order to make the hole formed by the aperture blades more circular, a 12-element aperture is used. Out-of-focus areas are rendered naturally, and point light sources are not polygonal, but have a round, soft bokeh.
- Minimum aperture that can be set up to F32: Although it is a large aperture lens with an open aperture of F1.5, the minimum aperture can be set up to F32. At the maximum aperture of F1.5, you can enjoy a large blur, while at the minimum aperture of F32, it is also possible to get deep focus.
Cosina has announced the NOKTON75mm F1.5 Aspherical, dedicated replacement lens for full-size (Nikon FX format) mirrorless cameras that adopt a Nikon Z mount from the Foxtrender brand. This product is developed and manufactured under a license agreement with Nikon.
NOKTON 75mm F1.5 Aspherical is a large mouth manual focus medium telescope lens dedicated to Nikon Z mounts. Covers full-size image circles, optical design is optimized for the image sensors of Nikon Z System cameras. These lenses provide electronic connection, realizing electrical communication between the lens and the body. Due to the combination of electronic communication-supported body and the latest firmware, in addition to Exif information, in addition to body hand bleach correction (3 layers), it supports three types of pin adjustment support functions (pin adjustment due to focus point color change, pin adjustment due to peaking function, and pin adjustment due to enlarging buttons).
The lens composition consists of 6 groups and 7 seconds, which is a large range of F1.5 while balancing the height of compactness and performance. Adopting a non-spherical lens gives you excellent visualization power from wide exposure. F1.5 with the shortest shooting distance of 0.5m of the main lens. The signal is about ±2mm and is very thin and you can enjoy a large frame. On the other hand, if you use the minimum angle F32 at the shortest shooting distance of 0.5m, the signal will be about ±4cm, and you can get a deep pint.
Pint tuning is dedicated to manual focus, one of the special features is a greased, silky operating feeling by high-precision metal helicoids that can withstand the Siberian pint tuning when fishing opens. Fishing is mechanical control of the operating ring directly, adjusted with the lens instead of the command dial behind the camera. The number of angles is 12 seconds close to the sphere, and in addition to the sync between the large mouth and slightly longer focal distance of F1.5 is ideal for photo expression that “dries up the background” and the out-focus part of the light source is also portrayed in an orderly way.
This lens comes with a special metal screw-up lens hood.
