Nikon has been teasing the release of the Z-mount 58mm F0.95 Noct for as long as the full-frame Z system has been known to the public. Since then it`s been seen in development announcements, on roadmaps and behind glass, but today is the first time its full specifications (not to mention a price) have been released to the public.
Its F0.95 maximum aperture makes this the fastest Nikkor lens ever made. It comprises 17 elements in 10 groups; three aspherical elements are included, one of which is `large diameter`. Nano Crystal coating helps control flare and ghosting from light entering the lens at diagonal angles, while Nikon`s newer Arneo coating has been added to deal with incident light entering the lens vertically.
Living up to its name, the Noct has been designed with night photography in mind. Nikon says that the lens will reproduce point light sources faithfully across the entire frame, without the smearing effects of sagittal coma flare.

All of that glass contributes to making the Noct a very hefty lens. It weighs 4.4lb / 2,000g and measures 102 x 153mm (4.01 x 6.02 in). The top of the lens barrel features a small display that can display focus distance, aperture and depth-of-field, plus a customizable control ring that offers quick access to aperture or exposure compensation - both features it shares with other current S-series lenses.
The Nikkor Z 58mm F0.95 Noct will cost $8000 and will ship later this month on October 31st.
