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 USD.
