With according performance. Not fair to point to that lens, really, as it is not comparable to a modern lens (it is of course totally comparable to the Canon EF 50mm f1.8 STM). In fact, the Sony FE 50mm f1.8 is a copy of a 50mm formula for SLRs, with an integrated mirrorbox-replacement tube. https://3.img-dpreview.com/files/p/articles/4855283977/SonyFE50mmF1.8-DoubleGaussDesign.jpeg Why mention the 85mm f1.8 Sony at all? It is not a 50mm, nor a 35mm. It is not as if the Nikon AF-S 85mm f1.8 G is more expensive. The "Zeiss" lenses are Sony lenses with a Zeiss label, they are not manufactured by Zeiss and its magical unicorns... They were the lenses the Sony FF A7 series was introduced with, and they are the closest equivalents on the Sony FF side, I think. RE: Nikkor Z lens roadmap - Klaus - 08-23-2018 I mentioned the 85mm f/1.8 ... because it is a f/1.8 yet affordable. Whether the N50S is comparable to the Z50 ... we'll see ... RE: Nikkor Z lens roadmap - Brightcolours - 08-23-2018 You must mean the Z55 Whether this new Nikkor 50mm is comparable to the SonyZeiss 55mm... It most probably is, with its modern design and 2 aspherical elements. MTF for the Nikkor AF-S 50mm f1.8G: http://www.nikon-image.com/products/nikkor/fmount/af-s_nikkor_50mm_f18g/img/spec/04.png MTF for the new Nikkor Z 50mm f1.8 S: http://www.nikon-image.com/products/nikkor/zmount/nikkor_z_50mm_f18s/img/spec/pic_01.png On this page somewhere the MTF for the SZ55mm f1.8: https://www.sony.com/electronics/camera-lenses/sel55f18z#product_details_default Yep, seems be able to even outperform it. The Sony FE 85mm f1.8 is a nice affordable-ish lens indeed. It is also not overly complex, with 9 elements and no aspherical elements. RE: Nikkor Z lens roadmap - obican - 08-23-2018 I'd say Zony 55/1.8 is rather reasonably priced. Show me another 50-55mm lens with similar or better performance and compare the prices. RE: Nikkor Z lens roadmap - Ayoh - 08-23-2018 (08-23-2018, 01:21 PM)Ayoh Wrote: The 58 0.95 is ridiculous. What’s the point? Most likely a 2kg $4-5000 50 with manual focus. I guess you could use it for niche video effects or for tripod portraits but it seems like a very niche lens to start with (08-23-2018, 01:52 PM)Brightcolours Wrote: A 58mm lens usually is not a "50". And why 2 kilos? Why "tripod" portraits? Umm have you seen the size and read the coverage? The lens is manual focus only. The size is larger than a 70-200mm 2.8. From the patent data this lens will definitely be around 2kg. How practical do you think this will be handheld? RE: Nikkor Z lens roadmap - JJ_SO - 08-24-2018 The manual focus is - hopefully - not done by wire, it's the only lens so far with an imprinted distance scale. And comes with a tripod socket, but unlike to Sigma and Tamron, Nikon still haven't discovered the advantages of an Arca Swiss dovetail. Same - sadly - for the new 500/5.6 PF. RE: Nikkor Z lens roadmap - Rover - 08-24-2018 The 58/0.95 is likely going to cost about $6000. This is nuts - but then again I guess it wasn't created to move loads of units, more as a "look here what we can do" demonstration (and a "screw you" to those who have been deriding Nikon for their purported inability to make ultra fast lenses for the F mount). RE: Nikkor Z lens roadmap - JJ_SO - 08-25-2018 A Leica 75/1.25 Noct sells for nearly 13.000. One could buy a lot of flashes for that money, if one really has to take pictures in the dark *duck and run*. RE: Nikkor Z lens roadmap - Rover - 08-26-2018 Or eight copies of the new Canon 85/1.4 IS, with a few bucks left to fetch some beer. I know, I did a calculation when that Leica was released - just for fun. RE: Nikkor Z lens roadmap - obican - 08-26-2018 Or a Sony A7III and a Mitakon 50/0.95... ...and another A7III... ...and another Mitakon 50/0.95... with some change left. |
