About the NIKKOR Z 58mm f/0.95 S Noct

The "NIKKOR Z 58mm f/0.95 S Noct" sits at the top of the S-Line, symbolizing the high optical performance of NIKKOR Z lenses. By taking advantage of the design freedom created by the large-diameter Z mount, with its 55mm inner diameter, combined with a 16mm flange back distance, the lens achieves a maximum aperture of f/0.95 — the brightest ever among interchangeable lenses for Nikon cameras.

The S-Line is a grade newly established for NIKKOR Z lenses that clears Nikon's own design and quality standards at a high level, delivering especially high optical performance.
