If you have £8299 to spare and don't mind using a Nikon mirrorless with 2kg of lens of lens attached, then maybe this is for you. Anyway, you simply have to admire its performance at f/0.95.

Wow! Really impressive performance! I did not expect that. The weight alone would make it useless for my needs, though. Price and lack of AF are also huge downsides.

The latest Nikon lenses all seem to be very very good.I hope they'll succeed, they deserve it!
Compared to the Leica Noctilux, the Nikkor is cheap, but heavy....

No eye AF? And no one is saying the D-word?

Must be not Canon then.

You will !
But on a Super Duty Truck with reinforced suspension.
Yet, it's a fantastic lens!

Wow

At f/4 the corners are sharper than the center?!

 

[Aussie shooter]

Impressive for sure but you have to wonder how many they will sell.
