Nikon releases a new NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.4 lens in photography’s most classic configuration, the 50mm f/1.4, for a fast, high-quality, versatile, and affordable lens option.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--B&H is pleased to share Nikon’s newest Z-mount lens, the NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.4, which brings photography’s most timeless lens configuration into its mirrorless fold. The 50mm f/1.4 has been the standard bearer for speed, excellence, and affordability in prime lenses for generations, and Nikon aims to bring the same high-quality, low-cost versatility to its Z-series mirrorless system.

The 50mm, standard field of view is beloved for its proximity to the human eye and benefits a wide array of photography, including portraits, landscapes, street photography, snapshots, and close-ups. The wide maximum aperture also opens low-light capabilities, as well as creating excellent subject separation, and in the NIKKOR Z, a beautiful bokeh with smooth, soft circles. A minimum close focus distance of 14.5” also benefits intimate moments with objects and people alike.

While maintaining a classic configuration, the lens has a few features that benefit the video capabilities of Z-series cameras. Lightweight at just under a pound, the lens exhibits minimal shift of the center of gravity, making it ideal for use on a gimbal. The multi-focus STM motor ensures quick and fast autofocus with suppressed focus breathing, and linear manual focus is supported with compatible Z-series cameras.

The lens is at home with any Z-series camera, including those with APS-C sensors, where it has a 75mm equivalent field of view. Accompanying the release earlier this year of a 35mm f/1.4 lens, Nikon is rounding out its stable of affordable, high-quality prime lenses.
