Voigtlander’s stunning retro lenses are what Nikon’s Zf and Z fc mirrorless cameras badly need

Voigtlander Nokton D35mm f1.2 attached to a Nikon Z fc camera.

Ambling through the packed CP+ 2024 Camera and Photo Imaging Show halls in Yokohama Japan, I was drawn to the Voigtlander stand decked with various lenses alongside compatible cameras. Then I saw it – a gorgeous lens attached to the retro Nikon Z fc. I had to look twice: was this a manual-focus SLR lens from 30 years back, or was it in fact something new? 

As it turns out, the Voigtlander Nokton D35mm f/1.2 I was gawping at has been around for almost two years, so it's hardly new by today's standards; but this was my first time seeing such a lens in the flesh, and it was love at first sight.
