New Nikon teaser hints at `Noct-Nikkor` lens for mirrorless
(Digital Photography Review)

Nikon`s series of video teasers continues with a look at some classic Nikkor glass and an unmarked lens at the end of the video. Astute readers may notice that the first lens shown is a Noct-Nikkor 58mm F1.2 - one of Nikon`s most famous manual focus lenses, made in limited numbers for about 20 years from the 1970s before being discontinued in the late 90s. Beloved by fans of low-light photography (and, inevitably, collectors), the rare Noct-Nikkor is hard to find, and good copies sell for very high prices on the used market (see earlier point about collectors). Nikon has already hinted that its new mirrorless lens mount is something special - could it support high-performance F1.2 or even faster lenses? We`ll find out on August 23rd.
