This is a REVIEW of the Nikon 58mm f0.95 Noct. This overpriced and overhyped lens does not autofocus, does not do a lot of things but was I completely wrong about it? I took this lens out to Longwood Gardens to photograph flowers, a few landscapes and a few quick portraits. How did it do? Find out in this Lens Review video.

    It's kind of funny how you said it's difficult to find the right focusing spot because of the long focus throw. The long focus throw is what makes that necessary precision possible in the first place. But I'm glad you finally get the point of the lens. It's aimed at a _very_ specific small group of rich people that already know they want it and don't mind or even prefer the manual aspect of it. Knowing they're going to miss a lot of shots, but knowing the ones that _are_ good are going to be amazing. I know that if I had the money and hadn't switched to Sony, I'd buy this. I _love_ using vintage lenses actually designed for manual focus, and this is basically a modern vintage lens and literally meant to be a modern embodiment of the 58mm f/1.2 Noct.

    Ok, when using manual focus + focus peaking. I map the AF ON button (found in f2 menu) to Magnify 200%. Solves all the issues of dialing in what you are focusing on. There are a few other buttons you can map Magnify as well.

    For years and years Nikon was blamed that couldn't create an f/1.2 lens like Canon had done with 50mm and 85mm lenses of 2006. Nikon had a very very old manual 50mm f/1.2 of 1978 though. Now that Nikon has created a 58mm f/0.95 everyone says that it is a pointless move. If you check an online depth of field calculator, the depth of field of a 58mm f/0.95 is much deeper than the depth of field of a very common 85mm f/1.4 lens. So the depth of field of a 58mm isn't so thin, unusable and pointless as many suggest. Of course the 58mm f/0.95 is a very expensive but Zeiss Ottus lenses and some Leica lenses are expensive and manual too. The 58mm f/0.95 is manual focus but it is designed for mirrorless cameras which make manual focus much easier with focus peaking and auto focus magnification. Only very lately with life-view a few models of dSLR cameras offer these two aids. Also the 58mm f/0.95 is heavy at 2000g but the classic Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 is 1500g and isn't considered a very heavy lens.

    Depth of Field (DoF) calculators typically abstract away from the "Circle of Confusion" (CoC). DoF is a function of focal length, aperture and distance variables, but includes the CoC parameter. CoC ties resolution of camera & lens to presentation size and the viewer's distance to the presentation. Increase resolution of a lens and the DoF gets shallower. Increase camera resolution and it gets shallower again. Blow up and DoF gets shallower because of the decrease in CoC. Watch from a closer distance and the DoF gets shallower again. In Digital photography, one important piece of the puzzle has to be added into the CoC and that's the software you use in raw processing, its ability to recover detail, your sharpening setting. I have tried different apps as DoF calculator and changing parameters that should impact the CoC and from that the DoF, had no visible impact on the numbers. Big influence on the camera part of the CoC is if it has an anti-aliasing (AA) filter. This disperses a bit of the light traveling to photosite [x,y] to the neighbors thereof. That increases the CoC, reduces dynamic range and low light sensitivity, reduces color space, and provides a tool for total reflection over the sensor in strong backlight. But it makes "raw processing" easier - SOOC JPEG as well as in post raw processing in LrC or C1. As the AA filter adds to the tiny tunnel over each photosite, it also adds to vignetting and modern "for digital" lens designs solve this by projecting the image in a different way than was normal in the past. Regarding the latter, Nikon was handicapped with its age-old F lens mount. A larger diameter would enable a wider diameter lens back-end that projects the image to the sensor in a way that suffers less from filter grid vignetting and light losses. This is the back story of Leica's problems to go full frame and at the same time retain top quality backward compatibility with their excellent but very old lens design so appreciated by collectors. They only went full frame when they had developed a filter overlay (Bayer & AA) that behaves like a Fresnel condenser where the rings are replaced by lens staves at varying angles from the center point of the sensor to the corners - one per photosite. The angle pattern must be a compromise between different lens designs, though. It did not scale well to significantly higher than 24 MP, though, and so they must have aborted this concept for, say 60MP cameras. As an M Monochrom does not need a Bayer filter grid, it can also do away with the AA filter and then it doesn't need "raw processing". Can you imagine how cheap that camera should be when you take these complexities out? As to the 1.2L lenses by C.anon, I have to point to the f/number being worthless in indicating how much light comes through. DxO Mark tell us that these lenses have a T-stop of 1.5 when at f/1.2. Well, a Nikon 1.4 would have a T-stop of 1.5 too. And be sharper. The f/number represents the diameter or radius of the aperture (opening) in the diaphragm as a fraction of a lens's focal length. That focal length is only valid at infinity focus setting and the number in f/number is just geometry. In the past, "we" took these things into account when we shot 8"*10" or even medium format - in absence of through the lens metering we needed to know the exposure corrections from lens to lens and be able to apply an exposure compensation for "bellows extension" (focusing closer by than infinity). The 1.2L lenses are not very sharp and their attraction is their softness more than anything else. If you made the elements in these lenses of black glass, by the way, they would still be f/1.2. In short, as to DoF, if you really want to seriously compare between lenses, you have to take identical shots and figure out their individual CoC for the presentation size and viewing distance you want to use. Look at your shots on a 4K display at 12" (30cm) distance at 200% and your DoF may seem shallow. Print at 5"*7" and view that at 2' (60cm) distance (arm's length) and you don't understand why the DoF is so deep all of a sudden. If you know of a DoF calculator that does all this properly, let me know. I did not find one. After all, it should include all these aspects in order to be relevant and valid.

It also has a z-mount no cinema camera has or will ever have. Who this lens is for is beyond me. Though its performance wide open is quite impressive.

    That "secret door" is for attaching a locking cable to the lens, either for when you're using the lens on a remote camera and or as an anti-theft deterrent for a store or display. All of the newly released professional Nikon lenses have this from the 70-200mm f2.8 VR "S" to all of the FL super-telephoto lenses, like my 400mm f2.8 FL. I have personally never used this feature, because I don't use my 400mm f2.8 FL for a remote lol, but some people do once in a while like at the super-bowl or the Olympics!

    This is like the Nikon 800mm. Very few will actually own it because it has a very specific use case but when you use it for that very specific use case, its hard to beat. Lenses like this are similar to cinema lenses used to film hollywood movies. Arri and Angenieux primes can easily be $50,000 to purchase with zoom versions being closer to $100K. Very few people (ie production companies) own the huge, expensive, cinema lenses. If they need one, they get one from a rental house. Unless you have a very specific use case for the Noct, and you can make your money back with it, just rent it when you need it. As far as use case goes, I would say still life, commercial/product, and video. The long focus throw on this is very similar to cinema lenses, giving you the ability to very precisely dial in your focus. Also, with the super long focus throw and 1.6' minimum focus, I'd be interested to see what people can do with focus stacked images

Even though I personally have the lowest end Nikon, I love the colours I get out of my camera. I can’t afford to buy that lens. If I did, and had a studio then I might. I’d like to see more video with this, more photos showing apertures down to f:/16. Sharpness is amazing when you get it just right. Because of the size of the lens, it looks like a significant jump in sharpness as each aperture is implemented so it is very sensitive that way. I always enjoy your reviews

    Jared, coolest feature of Z6/Z7 is the zoom of the focal point. The camera will zoon up to 200% of the focal point. I programmed one of the function button (Fn2) to Zoom... and highest zoom (200%). Give it a shot! I also changed the focal point color to blue... blue is much easier to see when image is in focus.

    High Polish Polska we use sennheiser g3 wireless transmitters with the ME-2 lav mic taped under his shirt. We have zero acoustic treatment too and we film in a very open room with concrete floors and high ceilings. Surprisingly we still only get a little amount of reverb from the room. My theory is because jared talks at such a high volume, we end up having the gain pretty low on the pack, making it really only pick up his voice and not much of the room. Where if you had a normal low-volume speaking person, your gain would be much higher and therefore end up picking up more of the room’s natural reverb

    Actually that lens is a dream - for a cinematographer or anyone familiar with cinema lenses. A long focus throw, a declicked (in this case electric) aperture mechanism and a low f-stop. It does however lack some features of a real cine lens like a ring for a follow focus system to attach or the lens aperture measurement being t-stop. As a photography lens it is quite heavy and long. I actually don't care that it is manual focus only, I am fairly happy with my vintage Pentax 50mm f/1.7 lens which is manual focus only as well. Focus peaking makes manual focusing very easy.

  • @derickmccormick8901

    Someone else may have pointed this out, but actually 50...errr...59mm isn't a bad focal length for astrophotography. You can get the whole constellation of Orion in 50mm and should be able to in 59mm. Large aperture means less time tracking and or less time holding the shutter open building up heat or having a higher ISO causing more noise.

    I use manual focus lenses almost exclusively. Mostly the Canon 45mm TSE and 55mm FD f1.2. What I found works for me is to leave the focus ring alone and use my body movement to focus, especially when shooting wide open. f1.2 is a far cry from f.95 but I think it's worth a try.

    Used one at a store. You really need that focus throw and it’s super useful. I’ve never used cinema lenses, but it was explained to me that this long throw is helpful for manual focus and I agree from using a few lenses with that mindset. Going back to 24-70 f/2.8 S lens using manual was not as tactile or precise (which it didn’t need to be on the Z7 with AF imo).

Yes, it doesn't have gears, or a TStop value, but if you are a filmmaker wanting to have Raw video and a Cinema-Grade lens without spending too much money on a rig like that, the Z6, Atomos Ninja V and this lens can give you a fairly comparable image to some dedicated cinema rigs. you can map the control ring to aperture to have a Iris ring, the L-Fn button can be mapped to Magnification. Frankly, i think after a while, with updates and tweaks to the workflow, This can be a pretty serious option for budget Filmmaking.
