-
A 50mm f/1.8 Like No Other
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.
-
Unfathomable Sharpness
The sharpness achieved by this 50mm is staggering. Z Mount delivers even lighting from the center of the frame to the far edges. No need to stop it down—it's equally sharp at f/1.8 as it is at f/2.8.
-
Unwavering Autofocus
Powered by an ultra-quiet stepping motor and enhanced by the additional light gathered by the Z Mount, focusing is fast, silent and accurate. Great for stills; even better for video.
-
Aberration Free Zones
2 Extra-low Dispersion (ED), 2 Aspherical (AS) lens elements and Nano Crystal Coat virtually eliminate flare, ghosting, coma or aberrations, even at the far edges of the frame.
-

Iconic Views
This lens can do it all. Iconic portraits. Street scenes. Close-ups of food. Interviews. How-to videos and more. It's brilliant in low-light. Lightweight and portable. Ready for anything.
-
Beautiful Bokeh
A 9-blade rounded diaphragm and f/1.8 aperture combine with the larger mount and shorter flange distance to produce a stunning round bokeh—even at short focus distances.
-
Endless Video Potential
The 50mm perspective is great for interviews, tutorials, product demos and more. Smooth, quiet AF and aperture drives and an advanced design prevent "breathing" and wobbling.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
To me, it was a big decision to invest this amount of money for a lens but with all the compliments I get on my photos with this lens, I have no regrets on this investment! I hope this helps if you are not sure about a Z prime lens purchase.
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.

Reviewed in India on July 17, 2023
Bright, sharp images with natural, well-defined colours, and micro-contrast that you often don't notice in other lenses. Sharpness right across the image corner to corner at wide-open. Bokeh is artistically dreamy and typically Nikon. There's little to no messing about with the images straight out of the camera in your Photo software either. So easy to work with...
You may pay less for other brands but you will ALWAYS find compromises in those when comparing to this lens, right? So why not get the "standard"?
The Z series lens ( my opinion ) seem to be that much sharper and very much lighter .
The quality is here and this produces tack sharp images .
Well the photographer has an input but you get my drift .
Hassle free delivery and actually cheaper on here !
