Z 58mm f/0.95 S Noct: The Fastest NIKKOR Lens Ever Made

The legendary Noct lens returns with unprecedented speed in the form of the Nikon NIKKOR Z 58mm f/0.95 S Noct. Enabled by the Z mount's broader design, this iconic lens has been updated specifically for Nikon's Zseries mirrorless cameras. Known for its advanced optical design and ultrabright f/0.95 maximum aperture, the Noct excels in lowlight conditions and offers exceptional depth of field control for isolating subjects. The manual focus design allows for precise control, making it ideal for both photography and videography.

Its optical design includes a largediameter ground aspherical element to reduce spherical aberrations and distortion, ensuring high sharpness and accurate rendering. The lens also features ARNEO, Nano Crystal, and fluorine coatings to minimize flare and ghosting, delivering clean, coloraccurate images in challenging lighting conditions.

Enhanced Features and Usability

Assignable Fn Button: Allows for lensbased control over shooting settings.
Top Lens Information Panel: Displays aperture, focus distance, and depth of field settings for quick reference.
Programmable Control Ring: Can be set for intuitive adjustments of aperture or exposure compensation.

Key Features

Compatibility: Designed for FXformat Nikon Zmount mirrorless cameras but also compatible with DX models, providing an 87mm equivalent focal length.
UltraFast Aperture: The f/0.95 maximum aperture delivers impressively shallow depth of field for dramatic selective focus effects and excels in very lowlight conditions.

Optical Excellence

ExtraLow Dispersion Elements: Four elements reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations for enhanced clarity and color fidelity.
Aspherical Elements: Three aspherical elements, including a largediameter ground aspherical element, minimize spherical aberrations and distortion, ensuring sharpness and clarity. The optical design is optimized for wideaperture shooting, minimizing comatic aberrations and ensuring even sharpness across the frame.

Advanced Coatings

ARNEO and Nano Crystal Coats: Prevent ghosting, reflections, and flare for improved contrast and clarity in strong lighting and backlit conditions. Nano Crystal Coat controls diagonal light, while ARNEO Coat controls vertical light. A Super Integrated Coating ensures accurate colors, and a fluorine coating repels dust, dirt, and moisture.

Aperture and Mechanics

Electromagnetic Aperture Mechanism: Provides stable exposure control, especially beneficial for fast continuous shooting rates.
11Blade Diaphragm: Contributes to smooth bokeh, emphasizing separation and depth between subject and background.
Rotating Tripod Collar: Offers greater stability when using a tripod or monopod.

Body Design

Manual Focus: Allows for working with subjects as close as 1.6' away. An OLED information panel on the lens displays focus distance, depth of field, and aperture settings for quick and easy recognition of lens settings and hyperfocal distances.
Programmable Control Ring: Default setting is for aperture adjustment but can also control exposure compensation.
Assignable L.Fn Button: Works with camerabased Fn buttons for quickly changing exposure settings and other functions.

The Nikon NIKKOR Z 58mm f/0.95 S Noct is a toptier lens that combines legendary performance with modern advancements, making it a standout choice for photographers seeking ultimate control and image quality.
