Pros:It is the sum of optical knowledge as far as focal knowledge is concerned
Cons:Nothing, knowing what you want
Opinion:- It is bulkier than a Z 24-70 f 2.8 and weighs more than a kilo, so it is not suitable for cans, to balance it you have to mount it on a Z9. It's a fixed camera, you can forget the versatility of a zoom. The very low DOF at maximum aperture forces you to take a sniper course. It costs a lot of money (even if it's worth it all), but if you love the classic focal length that a "normal" returns, if you love high optics and precision mechanics, if you love shooting in low light situations, if you are looking for the difficult balance between high sharpness and a moving bokeh, if you don't need it for work but only to give vent to your high self-esteem and/or your talent, Well, then the 50mm f1.2 is definitely the lens for you. A lens for the mentally ill like myself. Finally, I had the opportunity to compare it exhaustively with the old 50mm f1.2 AIs and I must say that it was a real bloodbath, the 40 years that elapse between the design of the two lenses can be felt by everyone! The Z always gratifies you and with all apertures, the AIs definitely don't. Let's not talk about resolution, the Z in my opinion reaches and passes 100 p/mm lines. And, strangely enough, at TA the depth of field of Z measured on graph paper at 45° is always and punctually greater than that of AIs. Mysteries of optics! Only one contraindication: once you have acquired this splendid objective you will find a battalion of monkeys on your shoulders that will suggest you to sell out to buy your little cousin, the 85 f 1.2. Of course, I gave in and, indeed, I am looking forward to the upcoming 24th or 28th, always f 1.2! But that's another story...
Pros:Bokeh monstrous, colors, three-dimensionality, construction, AF
Cons:Large, heavy, expensive
Opinion:Like the other owners, I can only talk about it well, it is a monstrous optics the colors that returns, the bokeh at 1.2 make you forget the weight and size. It is certainly not a lens to take on a trip, or rather at most to combine with another lens beyond your back suffers. As cons precisely, dimensions and weight are very limiting at times and remains at home preferring 2.8 zoom. But if you want the highest quality and maximum aperture this lens is from another planet.
Pros:Sharpness at f/1.2 scary! Bokeh, Three-dimensionality, AF speed and precision, Colors, Excellent flare resistance, Zero aberrations, Zero distortions
Cons:Dimensions and weight
Opinion:Excellent optics! I don't know how to define it otherwise... The only negative points are obviously the weight and size and... before buying it, as a negative point I also considered the price, very high. But just take a few pictures to fall in love blindly. It is not an optics to take on vacation or do street etc. it is designed for professional use and I know that from every photo I take I will have the best. I have been using it for six months now for weddings, portraits and reportages and I can tell you that it is worth every penny invested. The 50mm focal length I particularly like very much and in combination with the 24-70mm f/2.8 allow me to take home almost any type of work. I come from a Sigma ART kit of which quality I have loved for years but now that I have made the transition I can admit that here we are on another planet.
Opinion:The perfect optics. Beautiful, imposing, superb construction. Despite this still manageable and balanced: on Z6II with original BG it is a solid and portable whole. The sharpness at full aperture is incredible, as well as the speed and precision of the focus. And then the magic... As for detachment and three-dimensionality' has practically no rivals to this focal. Perfect flare resistance and creamy and very pleasant bokeh, even with distant subjects. Maybe Nikon took thirty years to make a 50 1.2 AF, but now that it has done so it has silenced everyone else. Perhaps the best Nikon lens ever produced. Of course it costs, but it's not a Mitakon... I dare not imagine what he can do in the hands of a true marriage and expert portraitist!
Opinion:A controversial lens, in the sense that it has a crazy quality even at f 1.2, quality directly proportional to the size with really crazy optical performance. That said, I must say that it returns pure magic, shots with great personality and characterization with a sharpness at full aperture really surprising. I also own the 50 z f1.8, excellent and much cheaper and more portable but that can not be compared to the yield of this one 1.2 ; as said by others it is a lens "out of mind", in everything . In low light this lens behaves beautifully, the bokeh is creamy and progressive, fast autofocus. It is not an everyday lens or occasional street, but if you have in mind particular projects this optics certainly helps to realize them. Is it worth buying? It's a very subjective evaluation, the cost and the weight towards the little brother 1.8 are coniderevoli, but when you shoot at 1.2 you forget that maybe you were crazy to spend that amount for a "50ino". I have also used a sigma art 50 1.4 in the past, but here we are on another planet
