Advertisement Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Hi FinnPirat, Take a look here New Nocton 50mm f0.95. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
griffster Posted March 13, 2010 Share #2 Posted March 13, 2010 It hot! But why, if it's made for m4/3, does it have a 2x crop factor. I mean technically I know why, but it's made specifically for m4/3 isn't it? Then in God's name, why the crop? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean technically I know why, but it's made specifically for m4/3 isn't it? Then in God's name, why the crop? Because its NOT made specifically made for m4/3. Its just an adapted version of a Senko CCTV lens. As such, the lens is actually designed for a smaller sensor than the m4/3 format. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alnitak Posted March 14, 2010 Share #5 Posted March 14, 2010 It's a modified version of this Senko lens: http://www.senkoadl.com/Factory/VFA5095H.pdf If you read the specs, it's designed for an image format (sensor size) of 9.6mm x 12.8mm. The m4/3 sensor has an imaging area of 13mm x 17.3mm. It's pretty basic math. This is NOT a specially-designed m4/3 lens; all this "Noktor" company has done has bought a batch of these Chinese-made CCTV lenses and put a m4/3 adapter on them and some good branding on the barrel. Not a bad idea, but not quite how they make it out to be. It's also a lens designed for machine vision and security camera use, so it's not really optimized for critical imaging. That said, it's not too shabby, and as a result of the design limitations, its also quite cheap. However, you can do FAR better buying a Voigtlander Nokton 50/1.1 for just a little bit more money. Yes, its a tiny bit slower, but its superb optically. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
haustier Posted March 14, 2010 Share #6 Posted March 14, 2010 BTW: It's not a Nocton, but a Noctor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
