    Amazingly Versatile Lens

    Posted by KindImage on September 12, 2019

    Are you looking to shoot in low light situations while keeping the image sharp? Portraits? Landscapes? Street photography? The 50mm seems to do it all! I have 2 other lenses that I´ve purchased for my Nikon Z6 (an 85mm and a 24-70mm), but time and time again I´ve found myself using the 50mm! I use this lens in most of the situations that I´ve come across without having to switch lenses. This lens is so versatile and amazing to use—it´s so quick and the images are so sharp. I love it.

    Yet Another Endorsement

    Posted by RickT on September 12, 2019

    As an amateur photographer, I defer to the analyses of other, more qualified testers. But I am indeed delighted with this lens.

    An exceptional value

    Posted by dbjack on September 12, 2019

    The first thing I noticed was the absolutely superb edge to edge sharpness, best I have ever seen. I also noticed how pleasing the bokeh is when shooting at f1.8. Considering what I paid for the lens overall I am blown away by this lens.

    Best 50mm made by Nikon

    Posted by Culbreathc on September 12, 2019

    I have a few 50mm Nikon lens. This one is by far the best and sharpest 50mm lens made by Nikon. This lens is sharp edge to edge with a pleasing bokeh. I shoot this lens at 1.8 most of the time and I love the images it produces. If you have a Z6 or Z7 this lens is a must-have for your mirrorless system.

    Great Lens - Excellent Plus

    Posted by ArkZ on September 12, 2019

    I am completely satisfied with this Z 50 mm f1.8 s, Edge to Edge sharpness and ´´dead´´ on center sharpness.
    I never bother to read ´´expert´´ analysis of a lens performance, solely relying on my own testing and what pleases me.

    The Epitome of Low Light Optics

    Posted by Scripps23 on March 28, 2019

    The new Nikkor Z 50mm f/1.8 S lens is excellent for any low light application, especially for photographing art work in dark museum environments. Below is an image of an oil on canvas, painted by a Spanish Baroque artist in the 17th century, with extreme lights, darks, and everything in between, in a very dark gallary in the Timken Museum of Art, in San Diego, California, where photography is allowed without flash and without tripod. I tried many times to successfully photograph this painting with many cameras and many lens, but could never get it right--until the advent of the Nikon Z System.
