Nikon Nikkor Z 50 Mm F/1.8 S Camera Lens (20083)- Black

All the reviews about this lens which you find on YouTube are accurate. I was sceptical about those reviews because of how overtly positive they were, but now I know why. Attaching some sample images from this lens- probably the images might get compressed while being uploaded here so don't judge the sharpness via these pics. They were taken using a Z6 (haven't added any sharpness in post). This lens is very sharp, produces the perfect level of contrast and has no chromatic abberation at all !

There is a lot of hype around these lenses, and I believe it lives up to them. Incredible sharpness, focus speed, and the background separation is very satisfying, too. Only thing missing is the image stabilization, which would've been a welcome feature for those using budget Z-line cameras like the Z50, but I haven't had any major issues yet, especially since I can use higher shutter speeds at wider apertures like f1.8 or even 2.8.

Its one of the best 50mm that money can buy. I know its F/1.8, but you will not be disappointed. If you happen to pair it up with Z7ii or Z9; with appropriate lighting (natural or flash), you are promised to get stunning images. 50mm is my to go for all events, portraits and sometimes even landscape (though < 25mm is suited for that). I have also used it with Z50 and got phenomenal results. I would just buy it for keepsake even given the quality of glass. Yes, I realize priced much more than the F mount 50mm; but this is special. Would you need f/1.2 ? Well depends on the depth of field and your style. But f/1.8 is the must have IMHO.

Super Sharp Superfast AF I attached 2 pictures one is originl straight out of camera and the other is cropped. And of course the colors are brilliant. Cost wise i don't think it's over priced for the results it gives. For whom this is costly can use the 50mm 1.8g with FTZ adapter. That's also good but this is much more better. If you want to invest in a 50mm don't think much.

This far surpasses any other 50mm from any other brand in existence at this price. The sharpness and the color contrast are on some other level. It smokes the sigma 50mm art and equals Ziess glass worth 4-5 times more. Don’t be fooled by the 50 1.8, it’s as good as a 50mm gets. Simply put, doesn’t want to come off my z6.

This is the best 50mm I have ever used! Stunning images, beautiful lens

Picture quality awesome sharp image at low light

I like its sharpness, AF, weather seal design, ease of handling. All Z series owners must own a copy of this, from casual photographer to serious wedding shooter with a flexible to tight budget. You will definitely be amazed after seeing the results it produces. It gives VR when with Z5, 6 & 7 due to IBIS, but not with Z50.
