Due to mount size constraints, Nikon could not produce a fast f/1.2 aperture lens like the NOCT. The electronic contacts for lens/camera communication and autofocus operation take up the already limited space. However, Nikon aimed to create a lens with sharper wide-open performance than the NOCT while maintaining the distinct three-dimensional look that made the NOCT famous. Compared to the 58mm f/1.4G, the two 50mm Nikon primes and the Voigtlander 58mm f/1.4 manual focus lens.

NIKON ZERO OPTIK NIKKOR 58MM F/1.4G
In-Depth Review of the Nikon 58mm f/1.4G Professional Prime Lens
The Nikon 58mm f/1.4G professional prime lens, announced on October 17, 2013, alongside the Nikon D5300 DSLR, is a specialized lens designed for portraiture, street, event/wedding photography, and astrophotography. Drawing inspiration from the legendary NOCT Nikkor 58mm f/1.2, this lens features a fast f/1.4 aperture and a complex optical formula that includes aspherical elements, a Nano-Crystal coat, and super integrated coating. It also incorporates a fast, silent wave autofocus motor, making it ideal for low-light photography.
Unlike many Nikkor lenses optimized for maximum sharpness, the Nikon 58mm f/1.4G focuses on producing aesthetically pleasing images rather than purely sharp ones. Over the past three months, I had the opportunity to thoroughly test this lens to understand its strengths and weaknesses, especially in comparison to the Nikon 50mm f/1.4G and f/1.8G lenses that I regularly use. This review will provide an in-depth analysis of the lens and compare it directly with Nikon’s 50mm prime lenses and the Voigtlander 58mm f/1.4 lens, which I tested in parallel.
