I read a headline about a new Nikon f/0.95 lens. If I recall correctly, it was 58mm.
This is now your second post about a lens no one can afford. Want to make it three?

I think Nikon is shooting themselves in the foot. Instead of coming out with a new Z DX camera and an ultra expensive 58mm fast lens at a phenomenal price, they would have done better to issue firmware for the existing Z6 and Z7 that fixes issues with focusing speed, wake up time.

Are you going to have this lens in your store?
Maybe.
And I wouldn't sell it to him either!

That firmware update came out in June. V2.01

Thanks! I am just wonder if you think having the lens in your store is good for your business somehow.

Actually I don't see how I could stock such a limited demand beast in my little store. I would be glad to special order one for a customer, but it would not be a stock inventory item for me.

I'll settle for mediocre I guess.

I really do not see the point in a 1:0.95 when ISOs are in the 10Ks. Would make sense for film at ASA 64 to 400. I get by fine with f/1.4 and f/2.8 lenses.

F1.4,1.8,2.8 but 0.95 how much would I really used it?
For this lens? You can buy it, you don't need to use it.

If there is something I never accepted from Leica it was their outrageous prices. I have always sustained that I can do with a Nikon lens what can be done with a similar lens from Leica. Now, before someone start the flame, I do not print murals. If the big difference is seen when printing a mural I do not fall into that category. I have seen many images from different Leica lenses and I have never been able to understand what is meant by "the Leica look."
If you are shooting a black cat in a carbon mine I guess that 50mm f0.95 is the lens to use. In my case my old, single coated 50mm f1.4 S from the early 70's is all I will ever need. In my case, I am very satisfied with the quality of images I get from it.
It is not easy for me to understand going to a bank first before buying a lens.
