## Overview

The Nikon NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.8 S is a premium large-aperture prime lens designed for Nikon Z mirrorless cameras. It delivers exceptional sharpness across the frame with virtually zero distortion, enhanced low-light performance thanks to its bright f/1.8 aperture, and ultra-quiet autofocus via a new stepping motor. Its compact, lightweight monocoque design and 5-axis VR stabilization make it ideal for both stills and video. Compatible with F Mount lenses through the FTZ adapter, this lens redefines the classic 'nifty fifty' for modern creators seeking professional-grade optics in a versatile package.

## Description

The iconic go-to lens, totally reimagined. Iconic 50mm prime, reimagined for the Z system. Sharper across the entire frame. Virtually zero distortion, even when shot wide open. Beautiful bokeh even at short focus distances. Liberating low-light performance. Ultra-quiet focusing. Whether you're shooting stills or videos, 50mm has never looked better. Empowered by the Z system's larger mount, shorter flange distance, raw imaging power and video capabilities, the nikkor Z 50mm f/1.8 s will redefine your notion of what a 50mm f/1.8 lens can do. Filter Size : 62mm.

Review: Great Nikkor Z lens -50mm - Great lens. A must have for any Nikon Z camera. Gives you a sharp image with a soft background for a creative and professional look. 50mm is a really great focal length for much of what you will be shooting (as a hobbyist). Buy and enjoy. A good value for what it does. Took it to Europe, shot graduation photos (very nice) and used it for regular street photography. All worked well.
Review: A New Era for the "Nifty Fifty" - Once upon a time, every entry level camera kit came with a 50mm lens of somewhere around f1.7 to f2 speed. With time, these fell out of disfavor as camera buyers either wanted a convenience zoom or a f1.4 or faster lens. Eventually, these moderate speed 50mm lenses found their niche as cheap, small, light but optically good lenses that were easy to throw into a camera bag. This lens takes that mantle and runs in a new direction with it. Maybe it's not quite as small, light and cheap as something like a Nikkor 50mm f1.8D but it makes up for it by being absolutely stunning optically. The first time I opened a file from my Z7 using this lens, I was blown away. Wow. Just wow. The lens has the kind of sharpness and microcontrast that I generally expect stopped down from a really good lens. That sharpness covers most of the frame, too. The extreme corners aren't quite up to the level of the rest of the image but they're not too far behind. Shooting this lens at f4 or f5.6 produces the kinds of images that I thought were only accessible by using something like a Zeiss Otus. For a $600 lens to be playing in that league is nothing short of remarkable. Other features of the lens -- resistance to flare, lack of chromatic aberration, etc. are all on an exemplary level, too. The bokeh is not the most neutral/pleasing I've ever seen but it's not bad at all. Certainly not something that will draw attention to itself. The one caveat about that, though, is that the lens does produce some cat's eye bokeh towards the edges of the frame when shot wide open or close to it. Not a deal breaker but something to be aware of. So, while it's not quite as cheap as the old era of "Nifty Fifties" were, it offers the kind of performance that used to require thousands of dollars of investment to achieve. Very highly recommended.
