Artra Lab Announces the NOCTY-NONIKKOR 50mm f/1.2 Lenses
Artra Lab’s new NOCTY 50mm F1.2 offers photographers an alternative in the manual focus lens market, combining a modern optical design with classic aesthetics. With a focus on creative control and low-light capabilities, this lens is aimed at those who appreciate the tactile experience of manual focusing and the distinctive rendering it provides.
Designed for both photographers and videographers, the NOCTY balances performance with artistic character, offering a set of features that make it suitable for a wide range of shooting styles.
Key Features:
Impressive Bokeh: With its f/1.2 aperture, the NOCTY is capable of producing smooth, dreamy bokeh, making it a strong option for portraits and artistic compositions where subject isolation is key.
Low-Light Capability: The wide aperture also excels in challenging lighting conditions, delivering sharp images with reduced noise, even when shooting at night or in dimly lit environments.
Vintage Design: The lens takes inspiration from classic manual focus optics, offering a design that blends well with both modern and vintage camera bodies, giving it a distinctive visual appeal in your kit.
High-Quality Glass: The NOCTY features premium glass elements that minimize aberrations and enhance contrast, providing sharpness across the frame.
Versatile Focal Length: As a 50mm prime lens, it offers a natural perspective, making it a solid choice for a variety of genres, from street photography to landscapes and portraits.
At a price point of just under $400, the NOCTY is positioned as a more affordable alternative to autofocus 50mm f/1.2 lenses from brands like Sony, Nikon, and Sigma. While there are no sample images available yet, Artra Lab, based in Hong Kong, expects to fulfill orders later this fall.
