Noktor HyperPrime 50mm f/0.95 Lens
|
 The Fastest Lens for Micro 4/3rds
"With a maximum aperture of F0.95, the Noktor Hyperprime is the fastest lens designed for Micro Four Thirds cameras. At open aperture, the lens renders pictures and video with extreme shallow depth of field for a dreamy and unique aesthetic" Extreme Low-light Shooting In low-light photography and cinematography, the lens exceeds the perception of the human eye. From nightscapes to campfires, now you can shoot in situations that are often impossible to capture with a normal lens." Interestingly they threw up a poll to judge demand for a PL mount cinema version. They are "Gauging interest on a F0.95 Cinema Prime. 50MM, PL mount, film pitch focus & iris gears. RED compatible." An F.95 on an MX upgraded Red One shooting at night at say ASA 2000 should be exciting. It is unclear as to how large the image circle is and what "k" it will cover. VOTE NOW!

Hey all lens-aholics! I'm sure you heard by now. The RPP 18mm is confirmed by fire chief, Jarred Land, to be $3800 for set owners and $4570 for individual pricing. Yesterday Matthew Duclos blogged about a set of mystery PL prime lenses at Bandpro Open House event. Matthew Duclos wrote: "But these aren’t another set of rushed primes taylored to cover a 4K digital sensor. These are solid, professional prime lenses. With an average weight of a mere 3 lbs achieved by titanium barrels and PL mounts, these lenses are both compact and bullet proof. The initial set slated for a summer 2010 release will include a 16mm, 18mm, 21mm, 25mm, 35mm, 40mm, 50mm, 65mm, 75mm, and 100mm. Soon to follow will be the 12mm up to 150mm for a total of 15 lenses in the series." For more information check out his BLOG.
