Features
The NOKTON 50mm F1.2 X Mount is a F1.2 large aperture manual focus medium telephoto lens. It has an angle of view equivalent to 75mm in full-frame format, and has a large aperture of F1.2 based on the Sonnar-type lens configuration, which has an asymmetrical front and back aperture. Despite the adoption of a spherical lens and the extension of all groups, it is compact and easy to handle, with an overall length of 49.0mm and a weight of 290g. This lens produces large bokeh when the aperture is wide open, and by stopping down the aperture several stops, it delivers sharp descriptive power.
Main features
Exclusively designed for Fujifilm X mount
Equipped with an optical system optimized for the image sensor of the Fujifilm X system camera. High resolution is maintained to the image periphery without relying on the camera’s optical correction function, and phenomena such as color cast are also suppressed.
Information communication with the body by electronic contact
Equipped with electronic contacts for highly reliable electrical communication between the lens and body. In addition to Exif information, focus check, and shooting distance linked display, certain models also support in-body image stabilization and parallax correction through the combination of a body that supports telecommunications and the latest firmware (*1).
Manual focus for reliable focus operation
The use of an all-metal helicoid unit that has been processed and adjusted with high precision and high-quality grease that produces just the right amount of torque enables focusing with a smooth operating feel. It enables fine focus adjustment.
Beautiful bokeh with 12 aperture blades
A 12-blade diaphragm is used to make the hole formed by the diaphragm blades closer to a circle. Out-of-focus areas are rendered naturally, and point light sources are not polygonal but softly rounded.
Aperture ring for direct mechanical operation
The aperture mechanism uses a mechanism in which the aperture ring is directly connected to the opening and closing of the aperture blades, similar to Voigtlander’s VM mount and mirrorless mount lenses. With a 1/3 step click, you can enjoy the feeling of operating the mechanism directly.
Shortest shooting distance 0.39mT
he shortest shooting distance is 0.39m when all lens groups are extended. With the close-up effect, you can get an even greater amount of bokeh than when shooting a distant view, expanding the possibilities of shooting that make the most of the bokeh at maximum aperture.
