Disassembly – Voigtländer Nokton 23mm f/1.2

Yukosteel did it again: he disassembled precious camera gear :)

This time his victim was the Voigtländer 23mm f/1.2 Nokton for Fujifilm X Mount.

His conclusion:

I’m very impressed by the mechanics and reliable design of electronics in this Voigtlander 23mm F1.2 Nokton lens. The precise way focusing distance information is collected is one of huge benefits of true manual focusing Voigtlander lens comparing to focus-by-wire most Fujinon lens. All parts are made from metal and precisely machined up to highest Cosina quality standards similar to Leica M mount lenses.

Multiple Third Party X Mount AF Lenses Could be Coming Soon: SIGMA 23mmF1.4, TAMRON 11-20mmF2.8 and SAMYANG

Third Party X Mount AF lenses

Latest leaks, rumors and speculations suggest that the Fujifilm X System might grow of several third party autofocus lenses very soon.

Two lenses are confirmed at this point. One lens is not confirmed, but there are hopes for it come soon.

So let’s put some order in the latest rumors and speculations.

SIGMA

As we reported here, the specs for the Sigma 23mm f/1.4 DC DN have leaked. It will come also for Fujifilm X mount. So that’s sure to come soon.

It will be Sigma’s fifth autofocus lens for the X system in addition to the four they already offer here.

SAMYANG

This is a rumor that comes from our sources. Also in this case the announcement should be imminent. We don’t have additional specs for now, but it will come and it will be Samyang’s second AF X mount lens after the Samyang 12mm F2 AF.

TAMRON

Undoubtedly the lens most of you desire (as we can see from this survey): the Tamron 11-20mm f/2.8 Di III-A RXD.

Now, at this point there are no rumors about it. All we have is a rumor that Tamron is having an announcement on February 22.

Tamron has basically already said back in 2021 that they will release the Tamron 11-20mm f/2.8 also for Fujifilm X mount. Let’s hope that February 22 will finally be the day.

Rumor of Tamron February 22 Announcement fuels Hopes for Tamron 11-20mm f/2.8

Very soon, there will be a new third party autofocus lens for Fujifilm X mount.

The one I talk about, will be coming from Samyang, as we reported here.

But the absolute top wish of the Fujifilm X community (based on this survey) is the lovely Tamron 11-20mm f/2.8 Di III-A RXD mirrorless APS-C lens.

Tamron has already teased here this lens to come for Fujifilm, but so far we have no indication on when it will be launched.

Well, how2fly now shared on Twitter here that Tamron will have an announcement on February 22 (Japan time).

Of course this fuels hopes again for the Tamron 11-20mm f/2.8, but so far we have no further information on what is coming.

So let’s cross fingers we will get more than just one new third party AF lens for Fujifilm X soon ;).

RUMOR UPDATE: Upcoming Third Party Autofocus X Mount Lens is NOT from Chinese Manufacturer

We told you recently here that a new third party autofocus lens is about to come for the X system.

Well, now we have an important update that rules out quite some options.

According to information we have received, the upcoming third party AF lens will not be from a Chinese manufacturer.

So which are the brands left?

From those, who already offer AF lenses, we have Tokina, Tamron, Sigma, Samyang and Zeiss.

Let’s discuss the options:

Tamron

There is the lovely Tamron 11- 20mm F / 2.8 Di III-A RXD that Tamron itself hinted here would come also for the X mount in future.

Sigma

I think whatever Sigma has in terms of mirrorless DC lenses (DC = APS-C lenses), is already offered for X mount. But they could adapt an FF lens to the X mount. So if it is coming from Sigma, then it must be something new, or maybe adapted from their Full Frame glass, as for example Tamron did with their Tamron 150-500mm f/5-6.7.

Tokina

Tokina has until now only the Viltrox-clones for X mount. However, they have launched a dedicated mirrorless APS-C lens (for Sony) last year, the Tokina 11-18mm f/2.8. However, when they launched that lens Tokina has not hinted that it would come also for the Fujifilm X mount.

Samyang

I know Samyang offers the Samyang 12mm F2 AF lens for X mount. But I am not aware of Samyang having any other APS-C autofocus lenses available for other mounts.

Zeiss

I feel we can rule out Zeiss, as they are virtually dead in regards to AF X mount lenses. They could have been very successful, as they entered the AF X mount market when Fujifilm hardly had any lens available. But they did so by offering lenses that Fujifilm already offered at a lower price than the Zeiss Touit lenses. Such a missed opportunity.

Surprise

Will a new brand join? Well, I can’t rule that out either for now.

Your Guess

Just for fun, a little survey where you can make your guess on who will offer the next X mount AF lens ;).
