Nikon NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.8 S

The Nikon NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.8 S is an S-Line standard lens for FX-format Nikon Z mirrorless cameras whose optical performance clearly surpasses conventional f/1.8 fifties. It renders sharply across the frame at every distance, the background stays soft even up close, and Nano Crystal Coat keeps contrast against the light. It weighs 415 g and is dust- and drip-resistant.

Thanks to its fast aperture and minimal light fall-off at the edges of the frame, the lens suits a wide range of situations, including shooting at dusk. Whether you are taking portraits or landscapes, the NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.8 S delivers exceptional image quality.

A new standard for f/1.8

The lens arrangement made possible by the Nikon Z mount delivers sharp detail across the frame at any distance. Two ED glass elements and two aspherical elements greatly reduce axial chromatic aberration, and point light sources are rendered cleanly. Out-of-focus areas stay soft and beautiful even at close range.

Precise, quiet autofocus

A powerful stepping motor (STM) focuses quietly and precisely, and fast communication with the camera ensures reliable focusing for stills and video. Focus breathing is suppressed and the lens operates quietly.

Handling and durability

The control ring can be assigned to focus, aperture or exposure compensation. The electromagnetic diaphragm keeps exposure stable even during high-speed continuous shooting, and the barrel is designed with dust and drip resistance in mind.
