Nikon Z Mount Full-frame Fixed Focal Length Lens - NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.4

Make every shot stand out.

The NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.4 lens is a classic focal length ideal for portraits, landscapes, street photography, snapshots and close-ups. A large f/1.4 aperture that can soften backgrounds, isolate subjects, cut through low light and freeze fast motion. Image quality that elevates every photo and video. All in a comfortable, fast prime lens designed for any Z series camera.

Captivating natural perspective.

Capture scenes just as you see them with an immersive human-eye field of view. Draw your audience into the moment as if they were actually there.

Beautiful blur.

Open the large f/1.4 aperture and transform out-of-focus foreground and background elements into a smooth, painterly blur that accentuates your subject.

Edge-to-edge clarity.

Close down the aperture of the NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.4 lens to create immersive images with sharp details across the frame. Depict landscapes, architecture and fine textures with lifelike accuracy.

Create in any light.

The combination of Nikon’s large Z mount and an f/1.4 aperture lens unlocks exciting possibilities for low light. Use faster shutter speeds and lower ISO, minimizing noise and motion blur.

Flattering portraits.

The 50mm focal length renders faces naturally, without distorting any features. Frame attractive close-ups and waist-up shots with striking subject separation.

A classic look for video.

Record interviews, product demos, medium shots and close-ups that feel natural and immersive with the NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.4 lens. Dial in the depth of field to give your footage exactly the look you want.

Balanced handling.

Lightweight and stable when using a gimbal or cage.

Close focusing.

At close distances, shallow depth of field becomes even more pronounced. Get as close as 14.5 inches (0.37 meters) from your subject to fill the frame with dramatic compositions.

Technology

Aspherical Lens

A lens with a curved, non-spherical surface. Used to reduce aberrations and enable a more compact lens size. Aspherical lenses minimize coma and other types of lens aberrations, even when used at the widest aperture. They are particularly useful in correcting distortion in wide-angle lenses and help contribute to a lighter, more compact design by reducing the number of standard (spherical) elements necessary. Aspherical lens elements correct these distortions by continuously changing the refractive index from the center of the lens.

Electromagnetic Diaphragm Mechanism

An electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism in the lens barrel provides highly accurate electronic diaphragm or aperture blade control when using auto exposure during continuous shooting.

Internal Focusing

A NIKKOR lens in which only the internal lens group shifts during focusing. Thus, IF NIKKORS do not change in size during AF operation, allowing for compact, lightweight lenses capable of closer focusing distances. These lenses will be designated with the abbreviation IF on the lens barrel.

Stepping Motor

NIKKOR Z lenses use a stepping motor for fast, accurate, smooth, quiet autofocus with reduced wobbling. This quiet drive system makes the lenses ideal for use when shooting video.

Multi Focus System

In 1967, Nikon developed the world's first focusing system that effectively suppressed aberrations by moving multiple lens groups (Close-Range Correction System). The multi-focusing system is the evolution of that AF system with which the positions of multiple focusing groups are very precisely controlled, each by its own focusing unit, all of which work together. This system effectively suppresses various types of aberration, even with scenes captured at close distances where aberrations are generally more likely to occur. This enables superior image-formation performance from maximum aperture, regardless of the focal length or shooting distance. It also contributes to faster AF. The multi-focusing system is effective even with fast lenses
