Voigtlander 28mm f/1.5 Nokton Aspherical Lens for Nikon Z Mount Summary

The Voigtlander 28mm f/1.5 Nokton Aspherical Lens for Nikon Z Mount is a manual focus wide-angle prime made exclusively for Nikon Z-mount full-frame (FX) mirrorless cameras. The lens is optimised for modern high-res sensors, and delivers exceptional clarity and character with a fast f/1.5 aperture and compact all-metal construction. It’s perfect for photographers who are looking to combine modern optical performance with the manual shooting experience of an old-school mechanical lens.

Despite its fast aperture, the Nokton is relatively compact and lightweight, which is great when you want to travel, shoot street, and low-light photography. A 10 element optical formula includes aspherical elements, which deliver high resolution across the frame, while rendering smooth and distinctive bokeh in both stills and video.

The inclusion of electronic contacts supports EXIF metadata transmission, compatibility with Nikon 3-axis in-body stabilisation, and focusing aids such as focus-peaking and magnification assist when used with supported Z camera bodies.

This 28mm f/1.5 Nokton Aspherical continues Voigtlander’s tradition of producing expressive, characterful prime lenses, which reward manual focusing. The included metal screw-in hood complements the modestly sized lens and helps with ghost and flare suppression.

Voigtlander 28mm f/1.5 Nokton Aspherical Lens for Nikon Z Mount in More Detail

Fast Expressive Wide Angle Prime

The Voigtlander 28mm f/1.5 Nokton is aimed at photographers who value optical quality and the creative potential of wide apertures, while shooting exclusively in manual focus mode. The f/1.5 maximum aperture provides excellent low-light performance and shallow depth of field, allowing photographers to isolate subjects with very soft, pleasing background blur.

Unlike many other older fast lenses that rely purely on speed, the Nokton is optically corrected for modern digital sensors, with greater sharpness and consistency rendered across the frame.

Optimised for Nikon Z

This lens is designed specifically for Nikon Z mount, and is not adapted from another mount but built from the ground up to take advantage of Nikon’s short flange distance. It features 10 elements arranged into 8 groups, including precision-moulded aspherical glass that reduces distortion and aberrations. With full-frame (FX) image coverage, it’s suited to both still and video across a broad range of genres.

Modern Electronics with Full Manual Control

The lens includes electronic contacts that transmit EXIF metadata to the camera and support 3-axis image stabilisation when paired with compatible Nikon Z bodies. Photographers benefit from three types of manual focus assist tools including colour-changing focus point indication, peaking, and focus magnification. These improve MF precision and make focusing faster and more intuitive, even for moving subjects.

Premium Build Quality

Measuring just 57mm long and with a weight of 360g, the Nokton balances comfortably on Nikon Z full-frame bodies. It is constructed entirely from metal, including the focus ring and barrel, which offers a robust, premium-feeling experience. The 52mm front thread allows use of standard screw-in filters, and the included metal hood provides protection and reduces flare in bright light.
