Noktor HyperPrime 50mm F0.95 (mFT and E-mount)

We don’t have a picture of the Full Frame model but can only assume it should look similar to the current mFT and E-mount model.

Noktor currently has an ultra fast HyperPrime 50mm F0.95 lens for Micro Four Thirds and E-mount. The HyperPrime 50mm F0.95 optics are manufactured in Japan and assembled in Hong Kong. It’s a fully manual focus lens. The lens apparently covers the entire image sensor and does not produce any vignetting.

In this picture here, the lens can be seen attached to the Panasonic GH1.

Would you want it for another lens mount? Then go answer their survey and view some of the images captured with this lens at: Noktor Gallery.

And, in its latest tweet, Noktor has announced that it is in fact testing a full frame HyperPrime F0.95. We can only assume it is also going to be 50mm.

Jennifer Shaw was one of the many unfortunate people who experienced Hurricane Katrina as it swept across New Orleans. Hers is also the personal story of the dramatic birth of her first child on the day Katrina struck, of her personal struggle with depression, of her husband’s rage episodes, and of their eventual return to New Orleans. She tells her story in 46 images (pictures of miniature cars and figures) taken with her Holga camera.

Clever Old Spice Mano a Mano Challenge Ads

2011-07-27

From oldspice

It looks like a personal challenge from Fabio to Isaiah Mustafa about who is the rightful owner of the Old Spice Guy title. Mustafa replies (in a video, of course) that he accepts the challenge. And so it begins all through yesterday with users getting to vote for who they want to be the Old Spice Guy. There are 60+ videos, including an old fashioned staring contest.

However, if you look at the YouTube owner byline, it’s all by Old Spice. It’s all a clever series of video ads to engage viewers and bring the Old Spice label top of mind, perhaps forever (at least for this generation).
