I started this thread as a central resource/discussion hub for all the Z mount lenses released by Cosina Voigtländer.
Just officially announced, and scheduled to be released in February 2023:
- SUPER WIDE-HELIAR 15mm F4.5 Aspherical - https://www.cosina.co.jp/voigtlander/en/z-mount/super-wide-heliar-15mm-f4-5-aspherical/
- NOKTON 50mm F1 Aspherical - https://www.cosina.co.jp/voigtlander/en/z-mount/nokton-50mm-f1-aspherical/
I took a closer look at the 50mm F1 (after all, Nikon has a 50mm f1.2 in Z mount, although AF).
It seems to have the same optical diagram as the previously released one for the Leica mount (VM), although with a smaller diameter, longer, and heavier.
The minimum focus distance is 0.45m, half that of the VM version - probably that is explained by the "longer" part.
12 aperture blades, floating mechanism, 1:6.84 magnification, support for peaking during focusing, and so on.
In some of the posted samples I can see cat's eye bokeh towards the edges, as well as a few cases of green edges (in the background) with noticeable "texture" inside.
