Description from the seller

This is an original Nikon Ai-S Nikkor 58mm F1.2 Noct, one of Nikon’s most legendary manual focus lenses.

The Noct-Nikkor takes its name from “Nocturne” and was specifically designed to suppress sagittal coma flare to an extreme degree.
It is widely regarded as one of the finest lenses ever produced for night photography, astrophotography, and wide-open shooting.
