Voigtländer Nokton 35mm F1.2 Silver – Fujifilm X-Mount Lens

A fast F1.2 lens exclusively developed for Fujifilm X-Mount

The Voigtländer Nokton 35mm F1.2 Silver X-Mount holds a special place in the Voigtländer range as it was the brand's first lens developed for Fujifilm X-Mount.

Specifically designed and optimised for Fujifilm APS-C cameras, its 35mm focal length provides an angle of view equivalent to approximately 53mm on a full-frame camera.

This natural, standard-lens perspective makes it highly versatile and suitable for portraits, street photography, reportage, travel, documentary work and everyday photography.

F1.2 aperture for exceptional depth-of-field control

One of the defining characteristics of the Nokton 35mm is its outstanding F1.2 maximum aperture.

This exceptionally large aperture provides extensive control over depth of field, allowing photographers to achieve strong subject separation and create images with an expressive, three-dimensional rendering of fine details.

The F1.2 aperture is also highly beneficial when shooting in low-light conditions, providing greater flexibility when selecting exposure settings.

12-blade diaphragm and beautifully smooth bokeh

The Voigtländer Nokton 35mm F1.2 X features a diaphragm with 12 aperture blades, designed to produce smooth and attractive out-of-focus areas.

Combined with the F1.2 maximum aperture, this construction produces soft, gradual bokeh, making the lens particularly appealing for portraits and creative photography where subject isolation is important.

The aperture range extends from F1.2 to F16.

Precise manual focusing

The Nokton 35mm F1.2 X is an entirely manual-focus lens, giving photographers direct and precise control over the plane of focus.

Its focusing mechanism and high-quality mechanical construction provide a precise, tactile shooting experience, particularly suited to photographers who enjoy a more deliberate approach to image making.

The lens offers a minimum focusing distance of 0.30m, allowing photographers to move relatively close to their subjects and take full advantage of the shallow depth of field available at F1.2.

Aperture adjustment in 1/3-stop increments

The dedicated aperture ring allows precise adjustments in 1/3-stop increments.

This provides accurate exposure control directly from the lens while maintaining the traditional tactile shooting experience for which Voigtländer lenses are known.

Premium glass and metal construction

In keeping with Voigtländer's manufacturing philosophy, the Nokton 35mm F1.2 X is built exclusively from glass and metal.

This premium construction provides an exceptionally solid feel while retaining smooth and precise operation.

Despite its fast F1.2 aperture and robust construction, the lens remains remarkably compact. It measures only 39.8mm in overall length and weighs just 196g, making it particularly comfortable to carry and use throughout the day.

Its elegant Silver finish gives the lens a classic appearance that pairs beautifully with the retro-inspired design of many Fujifilm X-series cameras.

8 elements in 6 groups optical construction

The Voigtländer Nokton 35mm F1.2 X features an optical design consisting of 8 elements arranged in 6 groups.

The optical formula has been specifically designed for Fujifilm APS-C cameras, combining compact dimensions with the distinctive image rendering expected from a fast Nokton lens.

Electronic communication with compatible Fujifilm cameras

Although focusing is entirely manual, the Voigtländer Nokton 35mm F1.2 X incorporates electronic contacts that enable communication with compatible Fujifilm cameras.

Depending on the camera model and firmware version, supported functionality may include:

• EXIF data transmission;
• focus assistance / Focus Peaking;
