A throwback to yesteryears
If you are not a fan of manual focus lenses then you would probably not like this lens. However if you are intrigued by the old fashion process of focus acquisition then this is an excellent starting point.
The all metal build is excellent, I would say as good if not better than the non-AI Nikon lenses of the 60s with its solid construction. The aperture ring clicks softly and has a nice resistance. The scalloped focusing ring is smooth with a decently long throw to focus from infinity down to .45m. The best part is unlike most older manual focus lenses, this lens has CPU contacts that allow you the luxury of focus confirmation which does away with the guesswork so most of the shots would be in focus.
Pictures are sharp with very little vignetting wide open. Stopped down to f/4 and it's all but gone. The bokeh is creamy and very pleasing. This lens has excellent micro-contrast giving pictures a more "3D pop" which is super pleasing to the eye. The only proper way to describe this lens is that it has a "soul" rather than one that is flat and boring.
It has been said that the Nokton 58mm is by all account a Zeiss in disguise and after using it for awhile, I'm inclined to believe it. At its price point of around $500, this is an absolute bargain.
