NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.8 S

I´ve always loved 50mm lenses but this one is my favorite ever! Sharp from edge to edge and great autofocus. I highly recommend it!

When I bought a Z6 camera I avoided the kit lenses and instead opted for the 50mm S series f/1.8 prime. This is a nice basic focal length. And the glass is fabulously sharp. I took it on a summertime vacation to Montreal Canada along with Nikon´s super sharp wide 20mm f/1.8 F mount prime. Low light performance, detail, contrast are the best I´ve seen. This lens was a pleasure to use. While the new S series F/2.8 zooms may make this lens obsolete for convenience sake, they won´t prove quite as fast or as artifact free,

If you start with just one lens on your Z6 or Z7, this is a great choice. Fast focusing, quiet operating, and exceptional image quality. I´ve used dozens of 50mm lenses in my career, and this is by far the best I´ve ever used.

Great lens in low light. Nice sharp images. Lens less conspicuous than zoom lens.

I love the results of images taken through this lens. It can provide great separation of background from the key focus area.

I have been super pleased from the moment I received this lens. The images and video are super sharp even at lower stops and I have not yet had any issues with this lens. Highly recommend.

I´ve owned a number of different versions of the 50mm lens from Nikon, including a very early version that I used on my Nikon F2, and more recently the 50mm f/1.4D and then the 50mm f/1.4G. This lens is so sharp, and the colors it produces are amazing. I´m so pleased with the results every time I put this lens on my camera.

I currently use the z6 with this attached for my family photography business. The lens is sharp without a doubt. Sharper than the 50 1.8G. However, I still believe that it is costly for a f/1.8. I look forward to seeing what else Nikon comes out with regarding primes for the mirrorless cameras but I am afraid of what price points they will be at.

The 50mm is a great all around lens that can be used for almost any style of shooting that one would use this focal range for. I have no complaints about this lens other than the price. Auto focus is quick and darn near soundless. Color looks good. Flaring is good. Lens construction is solid and feels like it is made extremely well.

I enjoy this lens much better than I did my 50 1.8 G. The images are sharp edge to edge and the bokeh is wonderful. These S lenses are quite good. I use the 50 1.8 at my Church quite frequently and on the Z6 it handles the low light as well as the stage lights around the baptistry and the photos are amazingly sharp. I have the 50, 85, and the 24-70 f4 and I love these lenses. I am committed to the S lenses on the Z bodies. I still have two DSLRs, but they do not see much service. I believe Nikon as a winner in the 50 1.8
