The Noktor company response at 43rumors
I just received an email form the company:
“Thanks for the message. The company is very real. There are a couple photographers with lenses now, so there will be a lot more images and footage along with the product launch next month. The info from google’s cache is incorrect. It was placeholder text while the site was developed. The main corrections are 480g weight and 23° Angle of View.
Goals? Develop and sell the fastest lens possible
”
As many of you noticed the Lens seems to be acopy of the Senko lens. more infos here: http://thephoblographer.com/2010/02/14/micro-four-thirds-noktor-lens-rumored-to-be-from-senko/
P.S: It is obvious that the lens is neither a

2 years ago |hmm…this appears to be a manual focus only lens. intriguing though. cant wait for more sample pics

2 years ago |FWIW 50mm on a 4/3 sensor gives an angle of view of 24°, not 23°. The whole thing looks slightly suspicious, but I hope it’s true. The lens is clearly possible to make.
YeahYeah
2 years ago |Interesting but will it cover the whole sensor or will it be like a c-mount lens?

2 years ago |So… I wonder what other lenses are in the pipeline then? If 0.95 is the go at 50, I can’t see that being impossible to replicate down to at least 25. (25, 32, 40 @ 0.95)
Going lower than that will probably require a slow drop in aperture ratio if the lens size is to be kept reasonable.
Something like:
20/1.1
16/1.4
12/1.8
10/2.2
will keep the lenses about the same size and manageable.

4 months ago |Christopher, you were right! They just announced their Noktor 12/1.6 but in T stops.

2 years ago |Looks like Senko already has a 25mm f/0.95 lens, in the same format as the 50. http://www.senkoadl.com/factory.php
Hoping that will be the next Noktor lens!

2 years ago |Too bad it’s manual focus. I love my Nokton 35mm F/1.2 (the silver one! bought for $778), but sometiimes I just wish it had autofocus.
