    Noktor lenses look very much like the CCTV lenses that a company called Goyo Opticals in Japan makes. In fact, if you compare the Noktor 50mm with the Goyo 50mm, the lenses look like two peas in a pod, except that the Noktor has been dressed up with a lime green strip.

    Not the sharpest lenses in my opinion, and if you gonna blow $1k on the 50mm, there are many many legacy primes out there that you can buy with that money.

    mmm $500 seems overpriced to me to something that has that amount of vignetting, but i do like the sharpness, the wideness and fasteness of this lens,

    ap and also the smooth focusing is nice

    Manufacturers said that they have black version.
    I do not know who adviced them green, most probably they got it from Noktor 50mm.

    It seems the vignetting is due to his fader ND, not big enough. This is normal for such a wide lens. It will be at $ 500. I have the same concern for the green front as most of the time for video people will be using filters so perhaps should communicate to the manufacturers about the green front before production. They will have another with black or silver I think was mentioned.

    seems like a nice lens, but the vignetting is big and also, when he points directly to the sun we can see a reflection from the yellow band that is in the front of the lens, wich ain´t good either, how much does this cost?

    the bokeh on this lens is amazing.

    Looks great to me. I don't even care about what was built in. $400?

    Someone theorized that this is a 25mm f1.4 lens with a 0.45x wide-angle adapter built in.

    What do you think?

    this sebfarges video is good, but there is strange vignetting in some shots at 1.6 and 2 that isn't there on others at the same aperature, and there look like changes in exposure, maybe he is using idynamic, or post color corrrection?
    edit: could also be from a fader nd sliding around maybe? I have only used matte box nd filters, don't know if that sort of thing happens with a fader

    That lens has a real unique character. It kind of has an old school film look to it IMO. I don't have the proper words to describe what it looks like to me, but that's how it made me feel.
