Nikon Z 58mm f0.95 S Noct FX Lens

The NIKKOR Z 58mm f/0.95 S Noct is a new addition to the S-Line lenses. It is a fast, standard prime, manual-focus lens for the Nikon Z mount Full-Frame Mirrorless-Camera System. The amalgamation of the large-diameter Z mount with the 16mm flange focal distance has resulted in the f/0.95 max aperture that is, as of writing this article, the fastest in the history of Nikon lenses. The NIKKOR Z 58mm f/0.95 S Noct has adopted 1977 AI Noct Nikkor 58mm f/1.2 standard prime lens’ renowned ability to reproduce sharp and clear points. Additionally, fantastic optical performance and rendering performance, in terms of resolution, bokeh effects, and point-image reproduction characteristic, has also been carried over and improved upon.

All About The Elements

The construction of the lens sees 17 elements in 10 groups that include 4 ED glass elements, 3 aspherical lens elements, and welcomes large-diameter ground aspherical lens elements. The latter are constructed from high-refractive glass that has been precisely moulded. Spherical aberration, distortion, and other types of aberration are successfully corrected thanks to this optical lens construction.

Style and Substance

The machined metal exterior of the lens features a yellow engraved ‘Noct’ logo which above giving the lens an elegant look also reflects the high-quality of the engineering that went into creating it. The incorporated silent focus and control rings rotate in a smooth manner and have a precision feel to them. It has been designed for optimal operability with proper torque whether working with still imagery or video.
