Great review and thank you for sharing. I am wondering besides the aspherical element, is there much difference between this lens and the Nikkor 50mm f1.2 AIS?
Thank you very much. It's totally different animal: 50/1.2 is a budget lens for large aperture, you will find that the color tone is lighter and sharpness is poorer. 50/1.2 is a lens without character.
@@kepahk I agree with that and never using the Noct and such but the cheaper 50mm f1.2 is a good lens on its own. Can't justify spending $3k on a NOCT when I can buy a near perfect Sony 50mm f1.2 GM for less. But whoa would I love to own a NOCT for a year. What a lens. You have my envy good sir.
Alas this lens is NOT about "near perfect". It is all about the character that comes from all of its lack of clinical perfection. There just is no comparison between this lens and any modern one. The only way to know is to use it. But be warned... once you do you will be hooked! @@classic.cameras
Fun video.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much. Wish you enjoy it

@@classic.cameras Do try ttartisan 50mm f1.1, much cheaper with vintage character which much better than Nikon 50/1.2.
@@kepahk nah do not like those new "vintage" lenses from China. Love shooting a lens with history. I have 5 f1.2 vintages lenses already.

ノクトニッコールに逆Fがあり、非常に高額です。まずお目にかかれないでしょう。
昔、手頃な価格で購入し、数年前に売却しました。 58/1.4G が発売されて以来、58/1.2 の市場価格に直接影響を与えており、コーティングを除けば好みは非常に近いです。 58/0.95が発売されたとき、58/1.2は歴史的に記憶に残るレンズとなり、現在の価格はそれほど高くありません。
