This is Nikon’s new 58mm f/0,95 lens for $6,000+

All that hype for that new Nikon clickbait 58mm f/0,95 lens and than we get this:

– Huge lens
– Manual focus…only!
– rumored to cost around $6,000 (via Nikoneye.com).

Don’t get me wrong: I am sure optically this lens will be superb. But will you pay $6,000 (or more???) for that? I love manual focus but how can I focus this lens while trying to keep it in balance? I prefer the much more compact [shoplink 55088 ebay]Leica Noctilux[/shoplink] (granted it’s expensive) or this much cheaper [shoplink 55085 ebay]Canon 50mm f/0,95 lens[/shoplink]:
