Nikon has announced the price and availability of its Nikkor Z 58mm f/0.95 S Noct lens. This very fast lens for portrait and astrophotography will be available at the end of October for 8999 euros. Nikon announced this two-kilogram lens when it introduced the Z cameras.

This iconic lens for mirrorless cameras offers new possibilities in low light, thanks to its ultra-wide aperture and exceptional sharpness.

This groundbreaking lens must be focused manually. The large Z mount and the wide f/0.95 aperture open up a world of new possibilities in low light. Thanks to the unprecedented depth and sharpness of this lens, you can capture everything from portraits to night landscapes and videos with a cinematic style.

Two anti-reflection coatings, ARNEO Coat and Nano Crystal Coat, work together to counter ghosting and flare, while aberration correction has been significantly improved thanks to the precisely ground aspherical lens element with a large diameter and high refractive index.

The robust fluorine coating repels water, dirt and moisture without compromising image quality.

An OLED information panel lets you quickly check the aperture, focusing distance and depth of field directly on the lens. The intuitive control ring also lets you set functions such as aperture and exposure compensation smoothly and silently.

The expanded Fn button can be assigned up to 17 functions in line with the Fn button on the camera body, ranging from AE lock to metering and bracketing. The lens name and details are engraved on the lens, giving it a highly refined appearance and ensuring they remain readable.

Portrait photographers can capture their subjects sharply, even when shooting at the maximum f/0.95 aperture, and benefit from exceptional aesthetic control in all lighting conditions. You are guaranteed beautiful bokeh with smooth gradations towards the edges of the frame.

Night-time shots are really beautiful! The optical design with 17 elements in 10 groups ensures that point light sources are rendered in beautiful detail, even when shooting with the aperture wide open. From night landscapes to astrophotography, Nikon says the results are stunning.

Videographers get a great deal of control over the depth of field provided by the large maximum aperture of the NIKKOR Z 58mm f/0.95 S Noct, creating powerful, cinematic images full of emotion, character and atmosphere.

Mattieu van Vliet, General Manager SAS, says the following about this lens: With its 58mm focal length, the NIKKOR Z 58mm f/0.95 S Noct pays tribute to the renowned F-mount Noct lens.

It represents the pinnacle of optical engineering and embodies the principle behind the development of Nikon's Z mount: making it possible to create lenses with the best optical quality on this scale.

This lens honours the past while taking a huge step forward in terms of low-light capabilities. It is wonderful to see the promise of the Z-mount system being fulfilled so powerfully.
