Earlier today, Nikon announced its new Nikon Z6 and Z7 full-frame mirrorless cameras. Along with the cameras, Nikon also took the wraps off a bunch of native Z-mount camera lenses, one of which captured the attention of many in the form of the NIKKOR Z 58mm f/0.95 S NOCT, which Nikon claims will be the fastest lens in Nikon’s history.
With an aperture of f/0.95, it is not only the fastest lens in Nikon’s history, but also possibly one of the fastest lenses around in the market today. Unfortunately that speed comes with a very hefty price tag because according to Nikon Eye, during the presentation of the Nikon Z cameras and lenses that took place in Tokyo, Japan, they learnt that the lens will be priced at a whopping $6,000.
That being said its asking price doesn’t really come as a complete surprise. Very often we have seen how pricing can differentiate by a lot based on aperture. For example a 35mm f/1.2 can sometimes be priced a lot higher compared to another 35mm f/1.4 lens, or f/1.8 lens, so to hear that an f/0.95 lens could be priced at $6,000 isn’t that shocking.
Of course whether or not you will need such a lens depends on your shooting style. Safe to say that its extremely wide aperture will offer up very beautiful bokeh, but at the same time make it adept for use in low-light situations. There are also other features that could have contributed to its price tag, such as a display on the lens itself that shows details such as aperture, focal length, and depth of field. There is also two different anti-reflection coatings, and an additional Fn button that can be assigned.
We should also point out that the lens will only feature manual focusing. This means that despite all the talk about the Nikon Z-series’ autofocusing abilities, photographers will still need to manually focus with this lens. It’s a bit of a pity, but there are some photographers out there who probably have no qualms about it.

The Nintendo Switch’s situation compared to its predecessor, the Wii U, is like night and day. Developers aren’t shunning it and we are even seeing developers returning to Nintendo’s platform after a 15 year absence. This is why it doesn’t really come as a surprise to learn that over in Japan, the Switch and its games are absolutely killing it on the charts.
According to the charts shared by 4Gamer (via Kotaku), from the 13-19th of August, Switch games dominated the charts, where the top 10 games that were sold were all for Nintendo’s platforms (including the 3DS), with the top-selling game being Minecraft for the Switch. This is followed by Splatoon 2, followed by the Switch version of Taiko no Tatsujin (a Western release will be coming later this year).
In fact taking a look at the top 20 games sold during that period in time, only three titles were for the PS4, while the rest either went to the Switch or the 3DS, but either way it does represent a victory for Nintendo. In terms of hardware sales, the Switch is no slouch either as it was reported that 54,647 units were sold during that week, representing 57.2% of gaming hardware sold.
At the steady rate of which Nintendo Switch games are being released, there is no doubt that Nintendo has found a winning formula, and with plenty of upcoming indies and also some heavy hitters on its way, we wouldn’t be surprised if Nintendo can ride this momentum in 2019 and possibly beyond, silencing its critics and naysayers in the process.
