Artra Lab NOCTY-NONIKKOR 50mm f/1.2 Reviews

A Fantastic Lens for the Money

By Daniel
Rated 5 out of 5

This is my favorite lens. I love 50mm lenses and this one is pretty fantastic. It render sharp images even at wide apertures and at f/1.2, the lens softens slightly while keeping microcontrast to give images a dreamy look. If you want a lens that feels vintage, but without the downsides of buying a 40 or 50yo lens, this is it. I was pleasantly surprised by how nice this lens is for the price.

Does this lens send EXIF data to the camera? Does the lens allow camera control of the aperture?
Asked by: Andrew
The Artra Lab Nocty-Nonikkor 50mm f/1.2 Lens (Nikon Z) will neither send EXIF (exchangeable image file format) data to the camera nor allow the aperture to be controlled from the camera.
