After carrying around a D4 with larger lenses for years, having this small, fun, and creative lens on my Z6 has reenergized my love for photography. Not only is it fun shooting small things closeup, it works really well as a walk-around every day lens. The hassle of carrying large, heavy gear is replaced with something that will live strapped to my shoulder.

I pre-ordered this MC 50 the day it was announced, I've been looking forward to a native Z macro lens for quite a while. I went with the 50 over the 105 for it's smaller size, and its compatibility with the ES-2 adapter. I also didn't have a 50 prime before this, so it fills that gap.This lens is already exceeding my expectations. It's been on my Z6II full time since it arrived. So sharp, fast & quiet autofocus, and just really easy and comfortable to use. Manual focus with Focus Peaking really helps when shooting ultra close, and the focus limiter is ideal when using autofocus. Doubles as a fantastic portrait & street lens as well.This one is an easy must-have recommendation, really happy with it!

Nice fast 50 for day to day work, and a really nice macro to boot. Easy to use, too.

I love the MC lens, everything is quality, I've taken portraits an close shot's of small items. Everything is in sharp focus an beautiful. Best of all it's a Nikon.

Really like this lens. Compact, fun to carry around, and super sharp.

A great lens overall. Compact and a great focal length for walking around. The Macro ability (i.e. its specific design) is amazing. Tac sharp details with minimal (if any) chromatic aberration. Slight Vignetting (to be expected) but it adds to the composition in a good way. Focusing is fast. Well worth the money! Photo was shot with a Z6.
