The Voigtlander Nokton 23mm f/1.2 Lens for Nikon Zis a compact 35mm-equivalent lens for Z-Mount. With its bright f/1.2 maximum aperture that suits working in a wide range of lighting conditions, this all-metal, manual focus lens delivers outstanding optical performance and precise focusing action while keeping size and weight to a minimum. To achieve this, Voigtlander make use of two low-dispersion glass elements and one aspherical element, as well as a metal helicoid unit that has undergone specific quality control processes.

Despite its mechanical design the lens fully supports communication with digital camera bodies and will be compatible with a number of features that rely on this interface. A rounded 12-blade diaphragm ensures the bokeh remains pleasingly circular at all apertures and is controlled by a built-in aperture ring.

Q: 9. Is this a 23mm or a 35mm? The listing shows both.

A: The focal length of the Voigtlander Nokton 23mm f/1.2 Aspherical Lens for Nikon Z is 23mm. The Voigtlander Nokton 23mm f/1.2 Aspherical Lens for Nikon Z is designed for use on Nikon Z-mount cameras that use the smaller 1.5x APS-C sensor.

Q: 10. For bodies that are listed as "Data Communication Unsupported" like the X-Pro2 and X-E3 I would use the lens with, would the autofocus still work (and possibly aperture reading)? Or would this become a manual focus lens?

A: The Voigtlander Nokton 23mm f/1.2 Aspherical Lens for X-Mount is a manual focus lens that is not capable of autofocus on any camera.
