Nikon NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.2 S Lens

Engineered for rapid performance and exceptional sharpness, the Nikon NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.2 S is a high-speed, standard-length prime lens that features sophisticated optical technology and a luminous design, making it ideal for a range of applications from low-light portrait photography to selective-focus documentary work. The f/1.2 maximum aperture performs admirably in challenging lighting environments and provides significant control over depth of field, allowing for effective subject isolation against a softly blurred background. A combination of extra-low dispersion and aspherical elements contributes to outstanding sharpness, remarkable clarity, and precise image rendering, while ARNEO and Nano Crystal Coatings, along with a Super Integrated Coating, minimize flare, ghosting, and surface reflections, enhancing contrast and color accuracy.

In addition to its optical capabilities, the lens features a multi-focus system that utilizes two stepping motors to deliver exceptionally fast, precise, and quiet autofocus performance, complemented by full-time manual focus override, catering to both photography and videography requirements. The lens also boasts a distinctive physical design, including a top-mounted OLED information panel for quick verification of aperture and focus settings, as well as an assignable L.Fn button that allows for adjustments to exposure and settings directly from the lens. Furthermore, a programmable control ring can be customized for intuitive manipulation of various camera and exposure parameters.

• Bright normal-length prime is designed for FX-format Z-mount mirrorless cameras, but can also be used with DX models where it provides a 75mm equivalent focal length.
  
  
• Impressively bright f/1.2 maximum aperture excels in low lighting conditions and also offers extensive control over depth of field for working with selective focus techniques.
  
  
• Three 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.
  
  
• ARNEO and Nano Crystal Coats are used to prevent ghosting, reflections, and flare in order to realize improved contrast and clarity when working in strong lighting and backlit conditions. The Nano Crystal Coat controls incidental light from a diagonal direction while the ARNEO Coat controls incidental light from a vertical direction. A Super Integrated Coating is also featured on multiple elements to help ensure consistently accurate colors.
  
  
• Multi-focus system incorporates two separate AF drive units, which are synchronized, to deliver especially fast and accurate focusing performance. This system uses stepping motors, which offer impressively smooth and quiet 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 is, by default, set to adjust manual focus, but can also be used to control aperture or exposure compensation.
  
  
• Integrated OLED lens information panel allows you to quickly confirm aperture setting, focus distance, and depth of field figures right on the lens in both bright and dark situations.
  
  
• Assignable L.Fn button works in conjunction with camera-based Fn buttons to provide a seamless point for quickly changing exposure settings and other functions.
  
  
• 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.
