Voigtlander Nokton 35mm F0.9 Aspherical for Fujifilm X- Mount

F0.9 Ultra-fast standard lens

NOKTON 35mm F0.9 Aspherical

The NOKTON 35mm F0.9 Aspherical X Mount is Voigtländer’s fastest F0.9 lens for the X mount, a standard lens with an extremely large aperture. The lens delivers crisp, clear images even at full aperture, and features compact styling with an overall length of 64.9 mm (from the tip to the mount surface) for ease of handling. In order to satisfy all the design goals we have adopted an in-house produced GA (ground aspherical) lens on the first surface of the lens.

Dedicated to the FUJIFILM X mount
Designed exclusively for the FUJIFILM X mount. Optics are optimized for the image sensor of the FUJIFILM X system cameras. This prevents distortion, light reduction, and color casts on the periphery of the image without relying on the camera’s optical correction function.

Electronic Contacts for Information Communication with the Body
The electronic contact enables highly reliable electrical communication between the lens and the camera body. By combining a communication-compatible body and the latest firmware (*1), Exif information, focus check, and shooting distance-linked display are supported, as well as in-body image stabilization and parallax correction for certain models.

Manual focus for reliable focusing
The use of an all-metal helicoid unit machined and adjusted to a high degree of precision and high-quality lubricants which produce moderate torque ensure smooth focusing operation. Subtle focusing adjustment is possible.

12-blade aperture diaphragm for beautiful bokeh
The aperture diaphragm is configured with 12 blades to make the aperture opening as circular as possible. This means the out-of-focus areas of images are drawn naturally and point light sources etc. are drawn as soft round bokeh rather than as polygonal shapes.

Directly operated mechanical aperture ring
Like the VM mount and mirrorless mount Voigtländer lenses, the lens employs an aperture ring mechanism that directly opens and closes the aperture. The mechanism has 1/3 stop clicks so you can directly enjoy the feeling of operating it.

GA (grinding aspherical) lens and mechanical components
The GA lens, produced in-house by us, is used as the primary element of the lens， while the mechanism is also equipped with a floating mechanism to ensure stable image quality from the shortest shooting distance to distant motifs.

Note on Electronic communication Compatible Bodies
Although this product is equipped with electronic contacts, there are restrictions on the bodies that can be used for Electronic communications. Please check the body list below. (According to Jun. 2023 survey)

Electronic communications compatible models and firmware *2*3

Models that do not support telecommunications

1. It is recommended to change the aperture value display setting from TNo to FNo in the body settings.
2. It is recommended that the depth-of-field display be changed to the film standard (the same value as the depth scale engraved on the product) in the body settings.
3. Please use the latest firmware as it may not perform as well as the listed firmware or may have limitations in some of the functions. Please check the firmware of the camera body you are using and refer to the body manual to obtain the latest firmware.
4. When using a camera that does not support Electronic communications, change the “Release without lens” setting to “Permitted” in the body settings.
