New Voigtländer Nokton 23mm f/1.2 for Fujifilm X Coming Soon

Voigtländer Nokton 23mmF1.2 X

Last year, Cosina launched the Voigtländer Nokton 35mmF1.2 X, with no autofocus, but with electronic contacts which allows for transfer of EXIF data and more (more details at the bottom of the article).

Now Cosina will also launch the Voigtländer Nokton 23mm f/1.2 APS-C lens for Nikon Z and Fujifilm X mount.

Also in this case, there will be electronic contacts but not autofocus.

It’s nice to see that Cosina understands us Fujifilm X shooters (or most of us) better than what Sigma does, and did put the effort to design the X mount version with an aperture ring. I wish the new Sigma X mount trinity would have an aperture ring too. But it’s no dealbreaker in my eyes. I shot my 27mmF2.8 without aperture ring for long and with great joy (but I replaced it now with the new XF27mmF2.8 with aperture ring).

For me, shooting Fujifilm is not only, but also about the experience. This is also the reason why I got the TTArtisan 23mm f/1.4. It’s the look and feel of it, attached to my X-E3 or X-T4, that simply makes me enjoy shooting with it every now and then.

And surely the new Voigtländer NOKTON lenses for Fujifilm X hit the same nerve, with a lovely vintage design and the bonus of electronic contacts that make it an appealing option for X shooters.

Personally, though, the Voigtländer options is not on my radar, because my Fujifilm X-E3 camera is not supported (yet). The full list of supported X series cameras can be found at the very bottom of this article.

In Your Hands Soon: Fujifilm Video Shows Assembly and Shipping of Fujifilm XF23mm f/1.4 R LM WR

Fujifilm has shared a video that quickly shows how the Fujinon XF23mm f/1.4 R WR LM is been assembled, packed and put in a truck for deliver to customers soon.

The final promise: “it will be in your hands soon”.

The lens itself seems to be manufactured in the Fuji’s factory in the Philippines (Calamba, Laguna – street view on Google Maps here), which is able to produce 18 million lenses a year.

Well, that was a rather long wait, with several postponements. But hopefully the shortage for this lens is now finally over and Fujifilm was able to produce enough samples to fulfill all pre-orders.

You can see the video shared below also on our Instagram.

What some might have missed, is that Sigma also announced they will release the Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 “later”. I quote:

SIGMA is pleased to announce the upcoming launch of interchangeable lenses for Fujifilm X Mount mirrorless cameras. This addition allows users to enjoy high performance, and high quality SIGMA lenses in native mount on their X Mount system.

The first in this X Mount lenses from SIGMA are the wide-angle prime 16mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary, the standard prime 30mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary, and the telephoto 56mm F1.4 DC DN | Contemporary, which makes a complete system for mirrorless camera users.

In addition, the compact, lightweight, high-performance large-diameter standard zoom lens 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN | Contemporary, which was released in October 2021, is currently under development for X Mount. The world of X Mount will be further expanded.

This has been announced officially at the dedicated Sigma X mount page here.
