50mm focal length. The beauty of a natural view.
There’s nothing like a bright 50mm prime lens for capturing a natural perspective with extraordinary finesse! From unique portraits of people and places to crisp close-ups of details and textures, the NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.4 lens nails diverse scenes in any light. With its normal (or ‘standard’) field of view and sharp optics, you’re free to follow your instinct: take a few steps back to fit in more of the scene or get closer to your subject with no distortion.
Fast and versatile f/1.4 aperture
The fast f/1.4 maximum aperture gives you immense flexibility to shoot in available light at lower ISOs, use faster shutter speeds, and work creatively with depth of field or backlit scenes. Wide open at f/1.4, you can set your subject apart against large, beautifully soft background or foreground bokeh. Shooting landscapes, cityscapes, or street scenes? Simply stop down the aperture to attain sharp high-resolution detail from front to back.
Tack sharp, even up close
Sunlight, moonlight, starlight, streetlights, candlelight: even if you’re shooting at f/1.4, this lens’ multi-focusing system accurately locks onto your subject. Autofocus is both quick and quiet, so you can confidently and discreetly capture moments that might otherwise vanish in the blink of an eye. For more considered compositions, a 0.37 m close-focusing distance lets you fill the frame, reveal fine details, or comfortably record video in tight spaces.
Natural perspectives, beautifully captured
With its impressive rendering performance, the NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.4 lens is anything but standard. Colours are vibrant and true, contrast is crisp and clear, and brightness is beautifully even throughout the frame. Whether you’re shooting up close or at a distance, wide open or stopped down, you’ll capture scenes with real depth, clarity, and sharpness.
Made for inspirational walkarounds
Versatile enough that you don’t need to keep changing lenses. Light enough to keep on your camera as you wander. Compact enough to slip into any kit bag. This 50mm f/1.4 prime makes an incredible travel lens, even if you’re staying at home! Carefully designed to resist dust and moisture,1 it’s ready to tell your stories wherever and however you explore.
