Nikon never bothered to support the Nikon Zf and Zfc with retro-cool lenses, but thanks to Voigtlander it doesn’t need to

Voigtländer D23mm f/1.2 Nokton Z Aspherical.

When the Nikon Zfc released back in 2021, it brought with it the lovely retro-themed Nikon Z 28mm f/2.8 (SE). And while the absence of an aperture ring seemed like a bit of a missed opportunity, I assumed that more retro Nikon Z lenses would be on the way. Jump to the release of the Nikon Zf in 2023, along with the Nikon Z 40mm f/2 (SE), and my heart sank. Another super affordable, retro-cool lens, without the substance (an aperture ring) to back it up.
