This is my first z system prime lens, and it is amazing. It was difficult to choose this over the already stellar 50mm f/1.8 but I'm really glad I did. While the extra physical length over the f/1.8 may deter some, for shooting video the longer sized lens presents well to clients and gives superior results, while giving you that extra speed in those situations you need it. I am never ever selling this lens! Along with the 70-200 f/2.8 it is tied for my favorite lens.

Remarkably sharp lens. Despite its size and weight, it balances nicely on my Z7 body. Great Bokeh.

A delight to work with. Optical precision at the highest levels. Fast, silent AF. Video work is beautifully rendered, whether with the Z-driven AF touch screen or using MF focus ring. Fabulous for product photography, subject isolation, beautiful portraits. I think it's perfectly suited for the Z6ii, actually. Even though it is obviously "Large for a 50," most who consider this lens already use a Trinity zoom lens and will have no objections to the size and weight on a Z. And at F/1.2 its like no other 50 I've ever used, gives you creative courage.

This is a fabulous lens! sharp and exquisite bokeh! If you are a big fan of the 58mm f/1.4G AND you are never going to purchase the 58mm S NOCT for several thousand then this is the lens for you! Nikon nailed it for awesome bokeh in a common fixed focal length.

The best Z lens in the market, The two motors used for focusing made it the fastest and accurate on the Z series in my perspective. The image quality is great. This lens is not just for portraits it works well for sports an landscape.

Amazing!
