NOKTON 10.5mm F0.95 Aspherical

Super wide-angle lens with amazingly large maximum aperture

Features

The Nokton 10.5mm F0.95 is a super wide-angle lens designed especially for the Micro Four Thirds format. This lens has a dynamic 93° angle of view (equivalent to a 21mm lens in 35mm full frame format) combined with an amazingly large F0.95 maximum aperture. The lens employs two elements with a total of three aspherical surfaces to ensure sharp imaging from maximum aperture. The lens also employs an aperture click-stop switching mechanism to support videography.

Main Features

Amazingly large maximum aperture

The large F0.95 maximum aperture enables images to be captured using just the available light even in low light situations. The lens is also ideal for imaging at maximum aperture to utilize its shallow focus and beautiful bokeh.

Ultimate lens design

The optical configuration consists of 13 elements in 10 groups designed based on modern optical theory. The lens employs two elements with a total of three aspherical surfaces in pursuit of high level imaging performance.

Minimum focus distance of 0.17 meters

Images can be captured as close as 17cm from the camera’s imaging sensor (reproduction ratio of 1:8.2). The lens can focus so closely that the edge of the lens hood almost touches the subject.

Aperture click-stop switching mechanism

The aperture click-stop switching mechanism enables the aperture mechanism to be steplessly stopped down/opened up with no click-stop sound. This ensures that the sound of the aperture ring being operated is not recorded while capturing video and also enables a high level of depth of focus control by fine-tuning the aperture ring.

Removable petal-shaped lens hood

Comes with a petal-shaped lens hood that doesn’t increase the overall length even when a filter is used. The hood is removable to improve flexibility in building a video recording system.

Dedicated Micro Four Thirds mount

Optics and mechanism designed especially to conform to the Micro Four Thirds standard. As it fully covers the size of the imaging sensor and is optimized for Micro Four Third sensors, this lens achieves excellent image quality.

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.
