Voigtländer Nokton 50mm f/1.2 50mm
The f/1.2 aperture and 12-blade diaphragm deliver smooth bokeh and strong subject isolation in a 290-gram all-metal barrel. A manual focus design with a 1.3-foot close-focus distance provides precise control for intimate portraits and detail work. This lens suits Fujifilm X-mount portrait and macro enthusiasts who prioritize tactile operation and build quality over autofocus.
