Cosina announces its fastest full-frame lens, the Nokton 50mm F1 VM: Digital Photography Review
 |
Cosina has announced it will release its new one Nokton 50mm F1 VM mount lens in January 2022. This lens will be the fastest full-frame interchangeable Voigtländer lens Cosina has ever produced.
The lens is composed of nine elements in seven groups, including one ground aspherical surface and another aspherical lens element. It uses a 12-blade aperture diaphragm, has a minimum focusing distance of 90cm (35.5”), and uses a 62mm front filter thread.

The manual focus mechanism uses an all-metal helical design that Cosina says is made of ‘high-quality grease that produces the right torque, focusing with smooth operation.’ The lens features a rangefinder interlocking mechanism when paired with a Leica M-mount rangefinder, but also acts as an adaptive lens on modern mirrorless camera systems. It also comes with an included reversible hood.

Despite its blazing fast F1 aperture, the lens is only 73.6mm (2.9”) in diameter, 55mm (2.2”) long, and weighs just 484g (16oz). The lens is expected to ship in January 2022 with an MSRP of 225,000 yen / ~$1,980.
The Great Joy 60mm T2.9 offers full-frame users an affordable option for 1.33x anamorphic photography, while the 1.35x adapter can boost that to 1.8x or turn tubes your ordinary spherical glass into an even more budget-friendly solution.
