The NOKTON 50mm F1 Aspherical is an ultra-fast standard lens for full-frame (Nikon FX format) mirrorless cameras with the Nikon Z mount. It is Voigtlander's brightest F1 interchangeable lens for full-frame cameras. Its image circle covers a full-frame chip and its optical design is optimized for the image sensor of the Nikon Z system cameras.The lens is equipped with electronic contacts which communicate data with the body. In addition to Exif information and in-body image stabilization (3 axes), by combining with camera body features and the latest firmware, the lens has three types of focusing support functions:&#149; Focusing by color changing of the focus point frame&#149; Peaking function focusing&#149; Focusing with the enlargement buttonNOKTON is the title given to fast lenses with an open F value of F1.5 or less among Voigtlander lenses. In the 1950s, when the first Nokton appeared, it was positioned as a lens that enables to shoot even under low light conditions. Now, 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 50mm F1 Aspherical uses GA (ground aspherical) lens element, manufactured in-house, for the front surface of the lens. This difficult manufacturing process achieves sufficient rendering and superior performance at even the widest aperture.In-house designed and manufactured GA lens made it possible to use a high melting point and high refraction glass material, which cannot be used in the mold lens manufacturing methods. By manufacturing an aspherical lens from a high refractive index glass material, it became possible to simplify the lens configuration while ensuring high performance.Through this painstaking work, a lens with a sharp styling, superior performance and a short length was born!In addition, by adopting a floating lens mechanism, a stable image quality can be obtained from the shortest shooting distance to the most distant. Constant sharpness at all subject distances is now achievable.The standard 50mm F1 lens is like a dream for photography enthusiasts. With F1 you can enjoy extremely large and smooth bokeh compared to lenses with slower low F-stop. The minimum focusing distance of this lens is very close at 0.45m.The high-precision metal helicoid with special lubricants can produce very accurate focusing when the aperture is wide open and its silky focus-feeling is another luxurious feature of the lens.Due to the 50mm F1's total range of 12 apertures, the out-of-focus part of point light sources are depicted in a desirable rendition and shape.It also comes with a metal lens hood that may be mounted in reverse making it both portable and versatile.
