58mm f/1.2 Nikon "Noct-Nikkor", re-birth of the legend to come

tetakpatak — Thu, 24 Jan 2013 08:09:06 +0000

Good news for low-light videographers and photographers:
Nikon's optical wizzards have lately obviously been quite busy with creation of the successor for legendary "Noct-Nikkor" lens. After endless rumors and over 15 years of waiting, it seems to finally enter its final stage these days.

Late in 2012 two different patents by Nikon have been filed in Japan (numbers 2012-230133 and 2012-230340) for a new 58mm f/1.2 lens:
* Patent release date: November 22, 2012
* Patent filing date: April 4, 2011
* Focal length: 58.0220mm
* Aperture: 1.210
* Half angle of view: 20.81°
* Image height: 21.6mm
* Lens length: 108.8935mm
* Back focus: 38.0120mm

Anyone owns this lens? Mind sharing experience? How does it match with Nokton 25mm? Thanks.

Adapter for ZENITH HELIOS Prime lens

club_irate — Fri, 19 Jul 2013 07:00:10 +0000

I am thinking of going for a Pentax K mount ZENITH HELIOS 58 mm F 2 Prime Lens. I wanted to know if either of these adapters can help me strap on these lenses on my GH2. http://www.ebay.in/itm/RainbowImaging-Camera-Pentax-PK-K-mount-Lens-to-Micro-4-3-Four-Thirds-Syst-SKF-/281067558847?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_203&hash=item4170ee97bf&_uhb=1#ht_2172wt_1139

http://www.ebay.in/itm/Fotodiox-Lens-Mount-Adapter-Pentax-K-PK-to-Micro-4-3-Olympus-PEN-and-Pana-BQG-/290866762370?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_203&hash=item43b9029282&_uhb=1#ht_2562wt_1139

If they do which one would be a better buy out of the two for the lens? Will i be able to change the aperture on the lens if i were to use either of these adapters on my GH2? Also, if anyone has a zenith helios or knows anything more about it, please do share with me in terms of video quality.

I know it says M 4/3 but i have had issues with another vintage i had bought with a M42 adapter so i thought its best i cross check with the knowledgeable enthusiasts out here. :) Cheers!

Additional Aperture for Better Bokeh?

fosterchen — Mon, 04 Feb 2013 12:50:58 +0000

I found this item on Ebay.

It should give a really nice circular bokeh with the number of aperture blades on it. Might be a great cinematic upgrade for lenses with less than desired bokeh. Has 58mm thread, with a max aperture diameter of 37mm. Clickless lever for smooth change.

Question is, would it work if screwed into the front of your lens and how well? Has anybody tried something like this?
