Meyer Optik Announces Nocturnus 50mm f0.95 II For Sony
7 December 2016
Meyer Optik has announced development of its Nocturnus 50mm f0.95 II designed for use on mirrorless, full-frame cameras with a Sony E-Mount. The new lens combines a very fast aperture with Meyer Optik's signature bokeh.
"The Nocturnus needs a minimal amount of available light to work its magic," said Dr. Stefan Immes, Meyer-Optik-Goerlitz CEO. "Its bokeh, low-light performance and sharpness combine to make it virtually unrivaled in today's marketplace."
The 15 steel aperture blades responsible for the unique bokeh are anti-reflex coated. Its aperture ring is infinitely adjustable and manual focus is silent making it attractive for use in video.

Coming Soon: The Nocturnus 50mm f0.95 II, a Low-Light 'Monster' with Meyer Optik's Signature Bokeh
Photographers in search of a lens with extraordinary low-light performance, incredible bokeh and the finest in German craftsmanship, can turn to Meyer Optik's latest offering -- the Nocturnus 50mm f0.95 II.
Meyer Optik, whose modern line of high-quality manual lenses has earned raves for its signature bokeh, is now bringing that wonder-inducing blur to a lens that impresses with its exceptional light intensity. With a maximum aperture of f0.95, the Nocturnus is among the "fastest" lenses on the market.
Yet, a unique design that relies on 15 steel aperture blades with anti-reflex coating sets it apart by allowing it to achieve a high degree of sharpness even when used at maximum aperture. The Nocturnus sets the standard for a lens that combines amazing bokeh and low-light capability.
"The Nocturnus needs a minimal amount of available light to work its magic," said Dr. Stefan Immes, Meyer-Optik-Goerlitz CEO. "Its bokeh, low-light performance and sharpness combine to make it virtually unrivaled in today's marketplace."
The Nocturnus was specially designed for use on mirrorless, full-frame cameras with a Sony E-Mount. It is expected to begin shipping in January at an estimated retail price of $2,999.
