Nikon has released their new NIKKOR Z 58mm f/0.95 S Noct lens this week offering a fast, standard prime, manual-focus lens for the Nikon Z mount system, Nikons full-frame (Nikon FX-format) mirrorless cameras. The NIKKOR Z 58mm f/0.95 S Noct lens is priced at £8,299 and the optics for the lens are constructed of 17 elements in 10 groups. “For which four ED glass elements and three aspherical lens elements including new large-diameter ground aspherical lens elements made of high-refractive-index glass materials molded with great precision are employed” explains Nikon. Nikon also launched their new Nikon Z50 mirrorless camera this week.
“These elements realize a high degree of correction for various types of aberration, including distortion and spherical aberration. In addition, Nikon’s exclusive anti-reflection coatings, ARNEO Coat and Nano Crystal Coat, have been adopted. The combination of these two coating technologies effectively reduces ghost and flare generated by incident light for incredibly sharp and clear images.”
Features of the NIKKOR Z 58mm f/0.95 S Noct :
– The symbol of the Nikon Z mount system’s optical performance with the fastest maximum aperture (f/0.95) in Nikon history
– The extremely shallow depth of field and large and beautiful bokeh is made possible only with a maximum aperture of f/0.95
– Outstanding resolution along the focal plane at any shooting distance from close-up to infinity, even at maximum aperture
– Unique spatial expression with ideal blur characteristics as the degree of bokeh transitions smoothly and naturally with increasing as the distance from the focal plane increases
– Incredible point-image reproduction characteristics that render points as points, making sharp and clear night landscapes and starscapes possible, even at maximum aperture
– Adoption of large-diameter ground aspherical lens elements made of glass with a high refractive index enables powerful, yet extremely precise, aberration correction
– The use of two of Nikon’s exclusive anti-reflection coatings, ARNEO Coat and Nano Crystal Coat, effectively suppresses ghost and flare
– Control and focus rings that rotate smoothly and quietly, and with the proper torque, for optimal operability with still-image and movie recording
– A convenient L-Fn (lens function) button to which a variety of functions can be assigned
– Equipped with a lens info panel that can be used even in dark surroundings to confirm information such as aperture value, shooting distance, and depth of field without looking through the camera’s viewfinder
– Designed with consideration given to dust- and drip-resistance, featuring a fluorine coat that effectively repels dust, water droplets, grease, and dirt
– An electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism enables extremely precise aperture control
– A felt-lined lens hood (supplied) effectively reduces reflections off the inner surface of the hood
