The Nikon Z 58mm f/0.95 S Noct Lens returns as the fastest standard focal length optic for Z-series mirrorless cameras. Its exceptional f/0.95 maximum aperture dominates low-light photography and videography, delivering unmatched subject isolation through precise depth-of-field control. The wider Z mount design enables advanced optical engineering featuring a large-diameter ground aspherical element that minimizes spherical aberrations and distortion for exceptional sharpness. Manual focus operation provides the fine-tuned precision demanded by professional photographers and cinematographers. Multiple coatings—ARNEO, Nano Crystal, and fluorine—effectively eliminate flare and ghosting, ensuring clean, color-accurate results even in challenging lighting. A legendary lens reimagined for modern mirrorless performance.
Balancing its optical merits, the new Noct has also been updated with an assignable Fn button for lens-based control over shooting settings. A top lens information panel is also incorporated, which allows you to quickly confirm aperture, focus distance, and depth of field settings. Also, like other S-series Z-mount lenses, there is a programmable control ring that can be set for intuitive adjustment over either aperture or exposure compensation.
Features and Compatibility
- Slightly longer-than-normal prime is designed for FX-format Nikon Z-mount mirrorless cameras but is also compatible with DX models where it provides an 87mm equivalent focal length
- Exceedingly fast f/0.95 maximum aperture achieves an impressively shallow depth of field for dramatic selective focus effects and also benefits working in very low-light conditions.
Optical Design
- Four extra-low dispersion elements greatly reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations in order to produce greater clarity and color rendering.
- Three aspherical elements, including one large-diameter ground aspherical element, are used to greatly reduce spherical aberrations and distortion in order to achieve high sharpness, clarity, and accurate rendering. Additionally, the optical design has also been optimized for shooting at wider apertures and minimizes comatic aberrations and ensures even sharpness across the frame.
Glass Surface Treatments
ARNEO and Nano Crystal Coats are used to prevent ghosting, reflections, and flare in order to realize improved contrast and clarity when working in strong lighting and backlit conditions. The Nano Crystal Coat controls incidental light from a diagonal direction while the ARNEO Coat controls incidental light from a vertical direction. A Super Integrated Coating is also featured, to help ensure consistently accurate colors, as well as a fluorine coating, to repel dust, dirt, and moisture.
Aperture Control and Mechanics
- Specialized electromagnetic aperture mechanism provides greater exposure control stability that is especially beneficial when working with fast continuous shooting rates.
- An 11-blade diaphragm contributes to a distinctly smooth bokeh quality that helps to emphasize separation and depth between your subject and background.
- Rotating tripod collar provides greater stability when working with this lens atop a tripod or monopod.
Body Design
- The manual focus approach chosen with this lens permits working with subjects as close as 50cm away. Focusing operations is benefitted by an OLED information panel on the top of the lens, which displays focus distance, depth of field, and aperture setting information to help recognize lens settings and hyperfocal distances quickly and easily.
- Programmable Control Ring is, by default, set to adjust aperture settings, but can also be used to control exposure compensation settings.
- Assignable L.Fn button works in conjunction with camera-based Fn buttons to provide a seamless point for quickly changing exposure settings and other functions.
