Nikon NIKKOR Z 50mm F1.8S Lens JMA001DA review
The Nikon Z 50mm F1.8 S is a powerful standard lens for the Z system, offering outstanding sharpness and full-aperture performance. There are better 50mm lenses on the market for portraiture, but none that are sharper or so well-corrected for coma and longitudinal chromatic aberration when shot wide...
Pros:
- Low light photography
- where edge-to-edge sharpness at wide apertures is hugely beneficial.
Cons:
- Portraiture
- where the slightly harsh bokeh can be distracting in some situations.

Great Lens
I purchased this lens for the Z7. Its resolving power exceeds my expectations and is at least on par with the Sigma Art series lenses. The size, while large compared to a DSLRs 1.8 equivalent lens, is perfectly matched to balance and be ergonomic with Nikon Z mirrorless cameras.

Nikon NIKKOR Z 50mm F1.8S Lens JMA001DA review
The Nikon Z 50mm f1.8S is a very good standard prime lens for owners of Z-series mirrorless bodies: its optical performance is right up there with the much heavier and more expensive Zeiss 55mm f1.4 Otus including longitudinal color aberrations - which is no small feat.
Pros:
- Very good resolution and contrast
- Very little longitudinal CA
- Good resistance against flare, glare, and ghosting
- Good Bokeh
- Minimal distortions (through lens profile)
- Extensive weather sealing plus fluorine coating against moist and dust
- Fast and reliable AF operation.
Cons:
- Relatively long lens
- Flimsy lens pouch.

Nikon NIKKOR Z 50mm F1.8S Lens JMA001DA review
Nikon’s new Z-mount has paved the way for lenses that set new benchmarks for optical quality. In focal length terms the Z 50mm f/1.8 S prime may be ‘standard’, however in every other respect this lens is anything but.
Pros:
- Incredibly sharp
- Achieves beautiful bokeh
Cons:
- Heavier than its F-mount counterpart

Nikon NIKKOR Z 50mm F1.8S Lens JMA001DA review
The Nikon Z 50mm f/1.8 S is something of a no-brainer if you don't have a 50mm lens for your new Nikon Z6/Z7 camera, and well worth considering even if you do already have a 50mm DSLR lens.
