Artra Lab Nocty-Nonikkor 50mm f/1.2 50mm
The f/1.2 maximum aperture and 11-blade diaphragm produce pronounced subject isolation and smooth bokeh, aided by a Low-Reflective Multilayer Coating that enhances contrast. Its all-metal, manual focus design delivers a tactile, vintage shooting experience with full-frame coverage on FUJIFILM X bodies. This lens is best for portrait and street photographers who prioritize deliberate, hands-on control and shallow depth of field over autofocus speed.
