Nikon has the 50/1.2 and the 58/1.2 Noct-Nikkor.  Both are manual-focus
lenses of quite old design.  The Noct is supposed to be specially
corrected against coma.  I've not shot either of these lenses.  Nikon is
very much into flash technology; perhaps this is a reason they haven't
developed any new, AF super-speed lenses.   Or perhaps they know when
they're licked.  For "Noct"-urnal photography a Leica M with a Noctilux
is a very hard act to follow.

Regards,
Nigel
