Nikon Z 50mm f/1.8 S Lens

The NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.8 S, a compact and proficient prime lens from Nikon, delivers a standard field of view complemented by a bright maximum aperture of f/1.8. This advantageous perspective, combined with the f/1.8 aperture, facilitates effective performance in challenging lighting situations while allowing for enhanced control over depth of field. The lens's optical architecture incorporates two aspherical elements and two extra-low dispersion elements, significantly minimizing both spherical and chromatic aberrations, thereby enhancing sharpness and clarity. Furthermore, the application of both Nano Crystal and Super Integrated Coatings effectively mitigates flare and ghosting, resulting in improved color accuracy and contrast.

Regarding usability, the lens features a stepping motor that ensures rapid, silent, and accurate autofocus capabilities, along with full-time manual focus override, making it suitable for both photography and videography. Additionally, a customizable control ring allows for intuitive adjustments across various camera and exposure settings.

• Prime normal-length lens is designed for FX-format Z-mount mirrorless cameras.
  
  
• Bright f/1.8 maximum aperture suits working in difficult lighting conditions and also offers increased control over depth of field for isolating subjects and working with selective focus.
  
  
• Two aspherical elements are used to reduce spherical aberrations and distortion in order to realize sharp imagery with accurate rendering.
  
  
• Two extra-low dispersion elements greatly reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations in order to produce greater clarity and color rendering.
  
  
• A Nano Crystal Coat, along with a Super Integrated Coating, has been applied to lens elements to minimize surface and internal reflections for a marked reduction in lens flare and ghosting.
  
  
• Stepping motor delivers impressively smooth, quiet, and fast autofocus performance that is well-suited to both stills and video applications. Full-time manual focus override is also possible and an internal focusing design is used, where only the internal lens groups are moved during focusing, to maintain the overall length of the lens during use and to promote faster focusing speeds.
  
  
• Programmable control ring can be used to intuitively adjust a variety of camera and exposure settings.
  
  
• Specialized electromagnetic aperture mechanism provides greater exposure control stability that is especially beneficial when working with fast continuous shooting rates.
  
  
• Rounded nine-blade diaphragm promotes a pleasing out of focus quality that benefits the use of shallow depth of field and selective focus techniques.
  
  
• Dust- and moisture-resistant lens barrel benefits the lens' use in inclement conditions.
