Cosina Japan has officially announced new Silver Editions for two of its most popular ultra-fast manual primes designed exclusively for Fujifilm X-mount: the ‘NOKTON 23mm F1.2 Aspherical’ and ‘NOKTON 35mm F1.2’.
According to global news outlet Fuji Rumors and Cosina's official release, these new silver versions retain the proven optical performance and electronic contact communication of the original black models, while introducing a premium silver anodized finish that harmonizes seamlessly with Fujifilm's signature retro two-tone bodies.
Here is a breakdown of the key specifications, features, and release details for both Voigtländer Nokton Silver lenses.
1. Completing the Retro 'Dress-Up' with Fujifilm Bodies
- Classic Silver Anodized Finish: Precision-finished all-metal barrels sport a high-grade silver anodized coating, delivering seamless visual harmony and vintage appeal when mounted on silver Fujifilm cameras such as the X-T5, X-T50, and X-T30 II.
- Precision Brass Helicoid Manual Focus: Engineered with Cosina’s ultra-precise machining, the all-metal helicoid mechanism offers the smooth, weighted, and tactile manual focus (MF) experience enthusiast photographers love.
2. Proven Optical Formulas & Ultra-Fast F1.2 Apertures
- NOKTON 23mm F1.2 Aspherical Silver (~35mm equivalent): Features an optical formula of 10 elements in 6 groups, including 1 aspherical element and 2 anomalous partial-dispersion elements.
