i am going to start a new thread regarding the new lenses from Zenit (modern). :o :o :o
http://bokeh.digitalrev.com/article/first-glimpse-of-new-zenit-lenses-zenitar-50mm-f-0-95-50mm-f-1-2-and-85mm-f-1-2
let me start with this:
the 50mm f/1.2, i do not understand why this thing should be so big. i do not believe that this has AF so i do not get the logic behind this since nikon already has a similar lens that is no bigger than the 50 1.4 AF.
-
Zenith or Zenit?
-
You need to provide a bit more details, link or images to enable us to understand,,,
I know of a 50mm f/0.95 Zenitar - And that is big - as one would expect,,,

Stanislav Gavryushin, senior sales and marketing manager gave an interview
http://photowebexpo.ru/article...
some highlights:
"prototypes assembled just week ago"
two lenses in CaNikon mounts:
50/1.2: 10/7 elements, 1200 gram [the design will likely be changed]
85/1.2: 9/7 elements, 900 gram, expected availability: 2017
in E-mount:
50/0.95, 9/8 elements, 900 grams, MFD: 0.7m, 72 mm filter
"L"-shaped aperture iris, expected availability: 2017
"made for modern digital sensors"
"high resolution" and "good bokeh"
nikon F chipped and has auto-aperture pin
"50/0.95 sharp from wide open"
Q:why don't you release m43 lenses?
A:we decided to release first [mirrorless] lens in Sony E, but maybe later m43, 2016-2017, at least one. I think it will be a wideangle, at least it's how it's planned.
Q:which will be market price?
A:up to $500.
Q:same price?
A:about same price.
Q:.... I hope they will soon reach shelves.
A:Yes, 50mm [probably the SLR/1.2] will in this year for sure.

Apparently it is impossible to chip 85/1.2. :o :o :o
-
you are asking for too much :o :o :o
that lens is crazy. just look at the size of it. i wonder why Nikon never made something like that even in MF...
-
I even wonder if the aperture lever of the F mount 85/1.2 would work correctly...

maybe with the electronic aperture Nikon can finally make something bigger :o :o :o

Well, the contact block is still there, and Nikon apparently is not as agressive as Canon with regard to cutting the rear element (see EF 50/1.0, 85/1.2 and the old 50/0.95 in L mount).
