Nikon announced the release of the NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.4, a standard prime lens that is compatible with full-frame Nikon Z mount cameras.
About the Nikkor Z 50mm f/1.4
The NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.4 is a standard prime lens developed with the same concept as the NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.4. With a maximum aperture of f/1.4, this 50-mm focal length enables the capture of scenes and subjects with a natural sense of perspective.
The soft and large bokeh achieved at the f/1.4 maximum aperture emphasizes the main subject, making scenes appear more three-dimensional.
For imaging contrast, stopping down the aperture enables sharp rendering of details and textures. This single lens allows users to enjoy photographing a wide range of scenes and subjects, from portraits to snapshots and landscapes. Nikon additionally designed this lens with video recording in mind.
The design is made with suppressing focus breathing, allowing for much more stability in shooting.
The NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.4 achieves a compact and lightweight design with a total length of approximately 86.5 mm and a weight of approximately 420 g. This makes the lens highly portable, and ideal for everyday use. As a standard prime lens that enables users to challenge a variety of creative imaging expressions, the 50mm f/1.4 provides strong support for those looking to expand their own range of expressions.
