Nikon NIKKOR Z 58mm f/0.95 S Noct Standard Prime Lens 20086

The NIKKOR Z 58mm f/0.95 S Noct is a fast, standard prime, manual-focus lens for the Nikon Z mount system's full-frame (Nikon FX-format) mirrorless camera lineup. Envisioned as the top of the S-Line*1, while serving as the symbol of the superior optical performance achieved with NIKKOR Z lenses, it takes advantage of the superior design flexibility made possible by the combination of the large-diameter (inner diameter of 55 mm) Z mount and 16 mm flange focal distance to realize an f/0.95 maximum aperture, the fastest (brightest)*2 in Nikon history.This one-of-a-kind manual focus 58mm lens comes with the largest aperture of any NIKKOR ever: f/0.95. Made possible by innovations of the Z mount, it achieves a new dimension of performance—vast depth-of-field control and elaborate bokeh for portraiture and video, superb point-image reproduction and low-light performance for night landscapes and astrophotography, outstanding resolving power for industrial and scientific applications—all in an immaculately constructed lens with precision feel and brilliant operability. Inspired by legacy. Built for the future. This is a masterpiece only Nikon could create.The design optics behind the AI Noct Nikkor 58mm f/1.2*3 standard prime lens utilizes 17 elements in 10 groups, for which four ED glass elements and three aspherical lens elements - including a large-diameter ground aspherical lens elements made of high-refractive-index glass materials molded with great precision - are employed. 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.Machined metal exterior components and a yellow engraved "Noct" give this lens an elegant appearance that matches the refined quality of the engineering. Equipped with focus and control rings that rotate smoothly for operation with a precision feel, and supports the skilled use in a wide variety of situations and conditions expected of the pinnacle of the S-Line.The NIKKOR Z 58mm f/0.95 S Noct (SKU: 20086) enables new forms of imaging expression with stills and movies for those who primarily concentrate on portrait, night landscape, and starscape photography. This lens has the ability to depict subjects in ways that have never been seen before, including by rendering them with an extremely shallow depth of field.NOTES:This product is currently available for preorder ONLY.
