It is show model. Especially putting the legendary NOCT name on it. Who knows it can be succesful like the new mini cooper or disaster like VW beetle.
Shallow DoF was something used by pro to distigwust them from zillons of P&S snapsooters.
Unfortunately the modern smartphonses produce somehow shallow DoF. The result is Internet is overloaded with shallowDoF portraits.
Another NOCT use cases was low light photography when ISO1600 was the grainiest film

ANother funny fact. Canon 50/1,8 MK1 and 50/1,0L are rock solid. I still have one in my back. While 50/1,4 has crappy long term reliability issues.
You have a 50mm f1.0L in your back??

Sony:
Sony Zeiss FE 55m f1.8 ZA : 899.99 USD. A 7 element lens, by the way.
Sony Zeiss FE 35mm f2.8 ZA : 799.99 USD. A 7 element lens, too.
And sure, the price of the Nikkor AF-S 58mm f1.4 G 1599.99 USD, that is extra mad. Madder than Sony at least.
