Product Details / Description:

Capture the essence of Japanese life—from candid street scenes to intimate portraits—with the natural perspective and stunning clarity provided by the NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.4. The wide f/1.4 aperture allows you to easily isolate your subject, melting the busy background into a smooth, aesthetically pleasing blur (bokeh).

About the Product

The lens features an optical construction of 10 elements in 7 groups, including one aspherical lens to ensure high sharpness from edge to edge, even wide open. The use of a Multi-Focus system and Internal Focus (IF) ensures the autofocus is quick, accurate, and virtually silent. The lens length remains constant during focusing.

The 9-blade circular aperture contributes to the exceptional quality of the out-of-focus areas. Furthermore, the optical design minimizes focus breathing and provides smooth aperture changes, making it highly suitable for professional video shooting.

Faqs:

Why should I choose the 50mm f/1.4 over a zoom lens?

The primary benefits are speed and image quality. The f/1.4 aperture is significantly faster than most zooms, allowing for superior low-light performance and much shallower depth of field (more background blur). Prime lenses also typically offer sharper images than zooms at comparable focal lengths.

What does the Multi-Focus system do for autofocus?

The Multi-Focus system uses multiple focusing groups within the lens structure. This technology allows the lens to achieve extremely high focusing accuracy, even at the wide f/1.4 aperture, and helps maintain sharpness across the entire focus range while suppressing optical aberrations.

Is this lens suitable for use on a Nikon Z DX camera body?

Yes, it can be used on a DX camera, where it will provide an angle of view equivalent to a 75mm lens in full-frame format. This turns it into an excellent, fast telephoto portrait lens, though you will be utilizing only the central portion of the lens’s image circle.

How does this lens perform for video shooting?

The lens is designed with video in mind, featuring silent autofocus, minimal focus breathing (where the field of view changes when focusing), and a smooth operation that integrates well with Nikon Z video features. The f/1.4 aperture is excellent for filming in dim environments.

Does the length of the lens change when focusing?

No, the NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.4 uses an Internal Focus (IF) system. This means that all focusing adjustments are made internally, and the physical length of the lens remains constant, maintaining a predictable balance on the camera.
