Built for speed, the Nocturnus 50mm f/0.95 II from Meyer-Optik Gorlitz is an impressively bright, normal-length prime designed for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras. This lens's most notable attribute is its wide f/0.95 maximum aperture that affords immense control over depth of field for producing selective focus effects, and also benefits working in difficult lighting conditions. The manual focus design of the lens permits working with subjects as close as 1.6' away, and its manual aperture ring has been de-clicked for smooth, quiet aperture transitions to benefit video applications. Additionally, the lens also utilizes a 15-blade diaphragm to contribute to a smooth, circular bokeh quality.
