The inimitable NIKKOR Z 58mm f/0 lens.95 S Noct manual focus is a breakthrough piece of engineering. Wide Z mount and wide f/0.95 maximum aperture open a whole new world of creative possibilities in low light. From portraits to night landscapes to movies, you get incredible depth and sharpness with cinematic quality. Its ARNEO coatings and Nano Crystal Coat doubly suppress ghost and flare effects, while aberration correction is greatly enhanced by a precision-ground large-diameter aspherical lens with high refractive index.

Tough fluorine coating protects the lens from moisture, dust and dirt without any loss of image quality. With the OSID OLED information screen, you can quickly adjust aperture, focus distance, precise focal length and depth of field directly on the lens, while the intuitive control ring reduces noise in individual functions such as aperture or exposure correction, providing smoother operation. From AE lock to exposure metering to bracketing, up to 17 assignable functions of the redesigned “Fn” button correspond to the “Fn” button on the camera body. The applied lens name and markings on the body add sophistication to the look and feel of the lens.

Results are stunning, from night landscapes to astrophotography.

    This NIKKOR Z 58MM F/0.95 S NOCT lens sounds impressive with its ability to capture stunning images in low light conditions, but I’m curious about its compatibility.
