The Nikon Nikkor Z 58 mm f/0.95 S Noct is a full-frame prime lens manufactured by Nikon for use on Nikon Z-mount mirrorless cameras. It is one of the two Nikkor lenses that have the Noct branding (the other one being the Noct-Nikkor 58mm f/1.2 for F-mount), due to its very large aperture of f/0.95. The word "Noct" is engraved in yellow into the lens body.
Introduction
On 23 August 2018, Nikon announced the development of the lens, reintroducing the Noct brand historically used by Nikon for lenses with ultra-fast maximum apertures.[2][3][4] This lens was released on October 10, 2019.[5]
The lens comes with a hardshell trunk case (CT-101) and a screw-on metal lens hood (HN-38).
The lens achieved a DXOMark score of 55, the highest score among all tested lenses as of December 2024 (on par with the Nikkor Z 85mm f/1.2 S and Sigma 50mm f/1.4 DG DN Art for Sony E-mount).[6][7]
Features
- 58 mm focal length (approximately equivalent field of view of a 87 mm lens when used on a DX format camera)
- S-Line lens
- Manual focusing with a wide mechanical focus ring (unlike most autofocus Nikkor Z lenses, which have a focus-by-wire system for the focus ring as well), with a throw of approximately 350°[8]
- 17 elements in 10 groups (including 4 ED glass and 3 aspherical lens elements, Nano Crystal Coat and ARNEO Coat elements and a fluorine-coated front lens element)
- 11-blade rounded diaphragm
- Multi-function OLED display ("lens information panel"), capable of showing aperture, focus distance and depth of field information
- One customizable control ring at the back (aperture, ISO and exposure compensation functions can be assigned to it)
- One customizable function button (L-Fn)
Awards
The lens was awarded with the TIPA World Awards 2020 in category Best Mirrorless Prime Standard Lens,[9] the Camera GP 2020 "Editors Award"[10] and the Red Dot Design Award 2020.[11]
