Nokton 40mm F1.2 Aspherical overview
The Voigtländer Nokton 40mm F1.2 Aspherical is a 40mm f/1.2 prime for full-frame cameras on Sony E-mount, Nikon Z and Canon RF, announced by Voigtländer in September 2017. 78 cameras we track take it without an adapter.
Going by its spec sheet, it suits low light. It is a weaker pick for fast-moving subjects.
No store we track in Singapore lists it today. It is listed in the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe and Australia.
Worth comparing it with the Laowa Argus 35mm f/0.95 FF, Zeiss Batis 2/40 CF and Sigma 35mm F1.2 DG DN | Art.
