NOKTON 50mm F1.2 Aspherical SE
Features
Based on the design concept of a lens dedicated to still photography, this lens realizes both compact size and a large maximum aperture. As well as utilizing two elements with aspherical surfaces on both sides to provide confidence-inspiring performance from maximum aperture, the lens allows you to enjoy most blurred bokeh of any lens in the SE series. Despite its large maximum aperture, its compact form ensures good balance with the camera body for great handling.
This product was discontinued in January 2023.
Main Features
For Sony E-mount
The lens has electronic contacts to ensure that lens usage data is included in the Exif data of captured images. Furthermore, the built-in distance encoder enables support for 5-axis image stabilization on the body side. Other features include being able to magnify the finder display by operating the focus ring.
Simple and compact
Dedicated to still photography, this lens was designed without an aperture click-stop switching mechanism so valued in serious videography to realize its large maximum aperture and compact form. Simple and precise parallel knurling is employed on the lens barrel surface.
12-blade aperture diaphragm for beautiful bokeh
The aperture diaphragm is configured with 12 blades to make the aperture opening as circular as possible. This means the out-of-focus areas of images are drawn naturally and point light sources etc. are drawn as soft round bokeh rather than as polygonal shapes.
Optimized optical design
Provides an imaging circle that covers the 35 mm full frame format and utilizes an optical design optimized for Sony E-mount sensors. High resolution is maintained up to the image periphery and color shifts are well controlled.
Outstanding optical performance, 4 aspherical surfaces utilized
With an 8 element optical configuration featuring 2 elements with aspherical surfaces on both sides, this lens achieves both a high image quality standard and a large maximum aperture.
Manual focus for reliable focusing
Employs a very precisely machined and adjusted all metal helicoid unit lubricated with high quality grease to realize smooth focusing operation with just the right amount of torque. This enables very precise focusing.
