Meike 50mm f/0.95 lens for Nikon Z-mount review by Bill Hall (see previous reviews):
Have you heard of a nifty-fifty? A nifty fifty is a fast 50mm lens. Typically it has a maximum aperture of at least f/2.8. A very fast lens might have a max aperture of f/1.2. But this lens will open up to f/0.95. That’s 2/3 of a stop faster than f/1.2. That’s just about as fast as you can get.
Meike, a Chinese lens manufacturer, makes low-cost, simple manual focus lenses at reasonable prices. They are now producing this fast manual focus APS-C lens for the Nikon Z-Mount. It has 5 groups and 7 elements, f/0.95 – f/16, a minimum focus distance of .45m / 1.5 ft., a field of view of 32 degrees, and a 62mm filter mount. At the time of writing, it sells for $249 on Amazon.
AstrHori is a new Chinese lens manufacturer (previously known as Rockstar) and their products are sold on Amazon. AstrHori will soon announce two new autofocus lenses for Nikon Z-mount. The first lens is actually interesting based on this not yet release teaser:
This new AstrHori lens will be 385mm in length – as long as the Nikon NIKKOR Z 800mm f/6.3 VR S! I find this interesting since the current Chinese lens offering is usually small prime lenses. This seems to be the first super-telephoto lens coming from a Chinese manufacturer. Stay tuned for details or contact me anonymously if you have any details on that lens.
Update: I was told that the lens will be manual focus and not autofocus as I initially reported.
The second lens will most likely be the already rumored 85mm f/1.8 full-frame autofocus lens:
AstrHori already has several lenses for Nikon Z and other mounts:
The previously rumored Voigtlander Macro APO-LANTHAR 65mm f/2 Aspherical full-frame lens for Nikon Z-mount is now officially announced. Shipping will start in November. Pricing was not released but should be available soon at Adorama, Amazon, and B&H Photo. The technical specifications are next:
