Thank you for your continued patronage of Cosina products.

Today, Cosina announced that it will release the new Voigtlander brand NOKTON 35mm F1.2 Aspherical lens for Sony E-mount and Nikon Z-mount in December 2026.

Features
The optical system is based on a long-selling VM mount f/1.2 large-aperture 35mm lens, which is popular for its excellent performance and compact style, and has been optimized for Sony E-mount sensors. It is a large-aperture lens that enables significant bokeh while maintaining excellent mobility.

Main Features

Sony E-mount compatible
Equipped with electronic contacts, the lens usage status is reflected in the Exif information of the captured data. Furthermore, it has a built-in distance encoder, enabling compatibility with the camera body’s 5-axis image stabilization. Magnified viewfinder display is also possible by operating the focus ring.

Optimized optical design
It secures a full-frame image circle and employs an optical design optimized for Sony E-mount sensors. High resolution is maintained even at the edges of the screen, and phenomena such as color cast are suppressed.

The minimum focusing distance is 0.3m.
The minimum focusing distance from the subject to the image sensor is 0.3m. Especially in close-up areas, an even greater amount of bokeh can be obtained, allowing for images that further emphasize the shallow depth of field.

Beautiful bokeh thanks to the 12 aperture blades.
A 12-blade aperture is used to create an aperture opening that is as close to a perfect circle as possible. This results in natural rendering of out-of-focus areas, and point light sources appear as soft, rounded bokeh rather than polygonal shapes.

Manual focus allows for precise focusing.
The all-metal helicoid unit, machined and adjusted with high precision, and the use of high-quality grease that produces just the right amount of torque, enable smooth focusing operation and allow for precise focus adjustments.

Aperture click switching mechanism
The aperture click switching mechanism allows for stepless opening and closing of the aperture ring without producing any clicking sounds. This eliminates concerns about the aperture ring operation sound being picked up during video recording, and also enables precise depth of field control through fine adjustments of the aperture ring.
