Overview

Revel in the finer details with the NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.2 S. As the first of its kind to be equipped with two stepping motors (STMs), and delivering the highest level of optical performance of the S-Line, expect nothing short of excellence. Built around the revolutionary Z mount system, extraordinary full-scale imaging expression comes easy, so you can enjoy utmost clarity and beautiful f/1.2 bokeh for portraiture. Draw out raw emotion with the same quick and precise autofocus (AF) performance in both stills and videos. Its incredible speed and accuracy is perfect for fashion, wedding and street photography - when life's fleeting moments need to be captured in full flight.

IT'S ALL IN THE DETAILS

Dramatic flair or understated elegance? With impeccable levels of detail and sharpness, rely on the NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.2 S for extraordinary expression of fine lines and details. An all-new ultra-symmetrical lens structure has been made possible by adopting the Z mount system's 55mm large diameter and 16mm short flange distance. Now, achieving superior point image reproduction is just that easy. But that's not all, nail every scene regardless of the lighting scenario - thanks to the employment of Nano Crystal Coat and ARNEO Coat that effectively minimises ghosting and flares.

THE BEST OF BOKEH

With a wide f/1.2 aperture, achieve beautiful circular bokeh that's easy on the eyes with minimal colour fringing around the edges. Let your primary subject stand out clearly with the lens' shallow depth of field for stunning three-dimensional effect. When you want to change it up, enjoy the same extraordinary expression and performance in videos.

PRECISE FOCUS

Fast, accurate and smooth - enjoy all three when it comes to the AF performance of the NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.2 S. More motors, more precision focusing, and a brand new multi-focusing system that allows for fast and accurate AF, even with a shallow depth of field. This unprecedented AF system takes on a whole other level when paired with your camera's Eye-Detection AF. You'll be able to effortlessly ensure highly precise focusing on your subject's eyes, meeting all your portraiture needs.

CATCH LIFE CANDIDLY

Enjoy video recording with the same superior optical performance you get in stills. Capture every candid moment unnoticed, with the lens' quiet operation that minimises unnecessary operation sounds. The focus breathing support allows you to record videos with reduced changes in angle of view that can sometimes occur when focusing. Adapt seamlessly to changes in lighting as you move from one scene to another and enjoy smooth aperture control with a simple twist of the button-less control ring.

Features

OUTSTANDING RESOLUTION THAT EXPRESSES EVEN THE FINEST DETAILS

An ideal lens construction is achieved by symmetrically positioning symmetrical lens groups in front of and behind the aperture. This equalizes the power balance between the front and rear groups, enabling natural light passage to an image sensor without forced refraction, which provides great potential for the lens' optical performance. While realizing the maximum f/1.2 aperture that requires an extremely high optical technology, outstanding resolution, natural bokeh, superior point-image reproduction, minimum distortion and effective focus-breathing compensation are all accomplished, offering overwhelming rendering performance.

ASTONISHING SMOOTH BOKEH OFFERED BY F/1.2

The NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.2 S is designed to deliver beautiful, impressive bokeh that will enhance the enjoyment of your image-making. Large bokeh is created thanks to the extremely shallow depth of field of the fast f/1.2 aperture. Beautiful gradation of the degree of bokeh from the sharply focused focal plane brings effective emphasis to your primary subject with naturally blurred background, creating a sense of depth. In addition, large, round bokeh is beautifully reproduced with minimized color fringing at the edges.

SUPERIOR POINT-IMAGE REPRODUCTION

Adoption of three aspherical lens elements effectively controls sagittal coma flare to minimize distorted images of point light sources, while also suppressing color fringing caused by chromatic aberration and unnatural depiction of bokeh. This enables point-light reproduction more beautiful than that perceived with the naked eye.

EXCELLENT TOLERANCE FOR BACKLIGHT

The use of Nano Crystal Coat and ARNEO Coat, Nikon's original high-performance anti-reflection coating systems, effectively suppresses ghost and flare, regardless of the direction from which light enters the lens. Sharp and clear images can be captured even when a light source is located within the frame.

Nikon Corporation

One of the world's largest and most respected photographic companies turned 100 this 2017. Nikon was one of the innovators of the DSLR camera and was the first company to enable video recording on a DSLR camera, in fact NASA called on Nikon to provide the photographic equipment on the Space Shuttle. No longer in the shadow of its competitors, Nikon now stands up as a world leader if not the world leader in digital photography and we believe that Nikon always represents great value and even better technology.
