NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.4

I’ve been waiting for Nikon to release a lens like this. A more affordable fast 50 with autofocus. The image quality still blows me away and is noticeable better than any of my vintage lenses including the famed and desirable Nikon 58mm 1.2 Noct. My only gripe is the that autofocus speed isn’t as fast as some of my S lenses like the 24-70 2.8 and the 20mm f1.8. Which is a small shame as I’ve tried to take pics of Willy dogs and had far less hits than on some other lenses. Still for the price, it’s pretty smal, compact, and light for a Z mount lens. The image quality is surprisingly good. Obviously probably not the most optically perfect lens but still impressive . It focuses fast enough for most situations. And the price makes this a very easy buy if you want a fun fast 50mm on Z mount

This is a superb lens with a large aperture, but still reasonably priced. Optical qualities are outstanding, never matched by a zoom-lens, but, yes, you will have to move a bit more.

Great lens to use! A 50mm is essential to have in my camera bag. Love this lens! Shot with a Nikon Z5ii

Really nice lens for money. Works like a charm on my nikon z6ii. Sharp. Does what I bought it for.

Sharp, light, fast and reliable. Love this prime lens.

Nice lens I wish it had an aperture ring. I like the 1.8 aperture for low light and head to waste portrait.

So far so good! Feels good on Nikon Zf.

For the price it is ok. But I found it to be quite soft. I will save up for the 1.2 instead. I have rented that and it is just knife sharp. IF you are looking closer to this range try an 85 1.8 it is sharper and about the same.
