Nikon invokes spirit of Noctilux with 58mm f/1.4G premium lens: Digital Photography Review

Nikon invokes spirit of Noctilux with 58mm f/1.4G premium lens: Digital Photography Review | Photography Gear News | Scoop.it

Nikon has announced the AF-S Nikkor 58mm f/1.4G, a premium standard prime for full frame SLRs that's designed to deliver the best possible images, even at maximum aperture. It's highly corrected for coma, meaning that point light sources are rendered correctly right across the frame, and is specifically designed to give an attractive rendition of out-of-focus regions of the image. It can also be used on Nikon's DX format SLRs, on which it will behave like a classic 85mm 'portrait' lens. This all comes with a hefty price tag, though; $1699.95 / £1599.99. It'll be on sale in selected retailers at the end of this month.
