The Nikon Nikkor Z 58 mm f/0.95 S Noct is a full-frame prime lens manufactured by Nikon for use on Nikon Z-mount mirrorless cameras. It is one of the two Nikkor lenses that have the Noct branding (the other one being the Noct-Nikkor 58mm f/1.2 for F-mount), due to its very large aperture of f/0.95.
