Voigtlander Nokton 23mm f/1.2 Lens for Fujifilm X Summary
Joining two previously released lenses for Fujifilm is this Voigtlander Nokton 23mm f/1.2 Aspherical Lens for Fujifilm X System cameras. With a 35mm equivalent focal width (full-frame format) and extremely bright f/1.2 aperture the Nokton 23mm lens is perfect for a diverse range of subjects, excelling at gathering light in the darkest of situations. It also boasts a 12-bladed aperture, which renders beautiful bokeh, perfect for shooting wide open portraits and other subjects with a shallow depth of field.
The slightly wide-angle standard lens has been optimised for Fujifilm sensors and includes electronic contacts with full communication on Fuji bodies. The lens will record Exif information, harnesses Focus check and Shooting distance interlocking display. Certain cameras including the X-T4 and X-S10 support in-body image stabilisation and Parallax correction functions when using the X-Pro3. The optical formula developed by Voigtlander includes lens elements which capture extremely fine details at high resolution throughout all apertures.

Voigtlander Nokton 23mm f/1.2 Lens for Fujifilm X in More Detail
Optimised for Fujifilm X system cameras
This lens is equipped with electronic contacts and information for reliable communications between the lens and body. Using bodies which support communications, the lens achieves 'Exif information', 'Focus check', and 'Shooting distance interlocking display.' Certain models also support 'In-body image stabilisation' and 'Parallax correction' functions.
Refined high resolution results
The Voigtlander Nokton 23mm f/1.2 lens configuration uses the latest optical design which incorporates one double-sided aspherical element and two anomalous partially dispersed glass. It has excellent rendering with fine resolution at all apertures and a large f/1.2 aperture.

Our Verdict
Voigtlander lenses are gaining ground with Fujifilm users, with this Nokton 23mm f/1.2 Lens arriving as their third model for X System cameras. Voigtlander Nokton lenses get their name from an ability to shoot at night, or in the dark, as they include an extremely bright maximum aperture. This enables photographers to photograph during the darkest situations, which is ideal for naturally lit portraits, interior shots and street photography to name a few. Results are further enhanced by a 12-bladed aperture which renders beautiful bokeh and soft out of focus areas, perfect for isolating any subject.
The lens communicates with compatible cameras, making the most of features including body-stabilisation as well as focus confirmation and Exif data recording when mounted on the majority of X System cameras. An all-metal construction complements Fujifilm styling while being extremely durable, and feels solid in the hand despite weighing just 214g. Results are superb with this manual focus lens showing extremely fine detail and high resolution derived from an optical formula, which is optimised for Fujifilm sensors.
The Voigtlander Nokton offers an engaging experience with excellent results for anyone who enjoys shooting manually with a compact prime at this versatile focal width.
