Noktor F0.95 lens coming to Micro Four Thirds?

<p>http://noktor.com/<br>

<br /> If this is true then the GH1 will really be able to shoot nice cinema quality video. That wedding video we saw earlier in this forum with the GH1 was nice, but what if the ISO was lower. That's what seems to be possible with this lens. But if it is from Senko, has anyone has experience with their lenses on their cameras?<br>

If you're still lost this is what I'm talking about:<br>

<p>I look suspiciously at the strange yellow glow . Could it be from the ultra high index dilithium crystal in the front element:-). Nice artist concept I must say. Beyond that, I rather doubt it. Possible yes. Practical for a consumer product, not likely and I would enjoy being wrong in that assesement. Micro Four thirds has indeed spawned a lot of creative juices. Which floweth over at times...<br>

NASA and DOD likely have some even more exotic. For earth bound wedding work, in a standard mount ,I am betting a fixed f stop fairly fast F 2 zoom would be a dream lens. Doesn't Olympus already have one in this category? Or could adapt one to video parameters?</p>

<p>well, the example image they've posted in the blog (the one of the guy with the cigarette) looks a bit yuck. The out of focus effects look very boring, and it looks a bit soft / low contrast. Could be the photographer but they should put up some more interesting images.</p>

<p>one of the things I've always loved of photos taken with Canon's 50mm f/0.95 are the amazing out of focus effects.<br>

ie...<br>

<p>You could easily mount a Canon 50mm f.095 on to a Micro 4/3 You would just need to either buy one of the lenses that has been converted to LTM mount or to have an adapter made that had a Canon external RF bayonet mount attached to it.<br>

But what the point would be is beyond me.</p>

<p>My first thought is "why"? Who needs a .095 lens? It would be the most expensive lens in your bag, while probably at the same time being the lens you used the least. Big, heavy, soft-focusing, with lots of fall-off, other than a couple of stops of speed, there is no legitimate reason to get one.<br>

I was looking at a Canon 7 with a 50/.095 last week. I mounted the lens on my M4 using a M adapter just to see what it looked like. I would have to give it a 9.5 on the fugly factor. The lens is so big that half of the what you see in the viewfinder is cut out. The lens is probably taller than a GF1 or Pen EP, and easily weighs several times as much.</p>

<p>the canon a f/0.95 lens has plenty of uses, sharpness isn't everything. I've heard super-fast lenses like these are used alot in motion picture photography in dimly lit scenes.</p>

<p>There is an interesting article about a lens Stanley Kubrick had made while filming Barry Lindon which talks about a Zeiss 50mm f/0.7 lens! used to shoot candle-lit scenes, this is pretty much the ultimate in fast lenses...<br>

<p>Nope its not a Hoax. It been around now for over a year and appears to be real and there is a site and all .. I first learned of it when i read an article about it around Christmas time 08.<br>

I actually had talked about it in a thread about last year, I think on here ..or maybe another forum site , i forget.. It is a fully manual lens so you would have to be an experienced cinematographer to use it for shooting movies. Someone told me it was nothing more than a re-badged C-mount lens modified with a Permanent m4/3 mount. And that it does cover the whole sensor, since people have been using the C-mount equivalent with adapter for a while now.</p>
