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

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.

Features

• 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 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 distance from the focal plane
• Incredible point-image reproduction characteristics that render point light sources as point images, 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
