Noktor HyperPrime 50mm f/0.95 Lens

“Making the rounds and causing quite a buzz is Noktor’s new HyperPrime 50mm lens, with a
maximum aperture of f/0.95. This astoundingly fast lens renders pictures (and video) with a unique aesthetic, a sort of dream-like mood where night becomes day. In fact, the lens exceeds the perception of the human eye in low-light situations allowing you to capture scenes that were impossible previously.

Priced at a modest $750, the only drawback is that it is currently designed in Micro Four Thirds mounts only (Panasonic and Olympus PEN cameras). However, with the majority of photographers using different mounts, you can be sure to see some Nikon and Canon editions shortly.”
