Pros: Overall optical quality.

Cons: Pricey. Long nose.

Opinion: I have a dozen 50mm lenses. So far two stand out : Zeiss 50/2 (Milvus version) and Summicron-R 50/2, both manual focus. The Nikkor 50/1.2 AI(S) stands not far behind and, among the newer lenses, the Tamron 45/1.8 is also remarkable, especially at night (low coma, no flare). Well, this one is at least in the same league. Optical formula is probably similar with the Tamron (retrofocus design?) and results are comparable, but even sharper. Never has been the full aperture such usable for general photography. Also, I am not a fan of autofocus, but I have to admit it performs predictably well. Concerning color (criticized by others) and rendering : if you are looking for special effects, the old 50/1.2 is more fun. If you don't like the colors, you may have a problem with the camera (Z6ii in my case; I no doubt prefer the Df) rather than the lens. Bottom line, 9/10.

Pros: Build quality, sharpness, maf speed, zero aberrations, zero flare, INCREDIBLE optics

Cons: Maybe only being 1.8 but it churns out rows clearly superior to the various 1.4, almost on par with its big brother 1.2, blurred from 50mm 1.8 but when you buy it you know what you are buying.

Opinion: An incredible lens, completely forget the concept of fifty 1.8, this is an S series lens, on a par with the sigma Art, even superior in certain characteristics, as well as on par if not superior to the Sony G masters (which I had). A fabulous sharpness, worthy of the best macro lenses, pleasant blurred but always within the limits of the 50mm focal length and 1.8 aperture. For the quality of the files the weight remains negligible, do not compare it to the various fifties, light years away from the 50 mm nikon afs-g, just as it is light years away from the 40 mm F2 Z series. With this lens Nikon re-establishes the criteria with which a 50 mm is built, an optic that qualitatively speaking is really excellent, I apologize if I repeat myself but I was so surprised by the quality of the files that it returns that the 35 mm 1.4 sigma Art attached to the Sony A7iv is not up to reproducing. I recommend it to anyone who has the z system and is looking for a focal length of 50mm.

Pros: Sharpness, color rendering, blur

Cons: plasticky lens hood and a bit hard to remove (but maybe it's a bit subjective)

Opinion: Used grip optics, or rather never used. The MAF focus is precise and quiet, maybe but it's just my impression a little slower than the 85mm 1.8 (also Z series). The details reach the edges and the blur is very nice and pleasant, it does not make you miss the old af-s 50 1.4 really a toy repeated to this. A TA is a blade, the sharpness remains very high and the blur is pleasant. After more than a year of use I don't have much else to report, to do portraits or any other kind of work is fine, I hear many complaining that it's only f/1.8, yes ok it's fine, but I can guarantee you that those who have to bring home the result never shoot at crazy apertures 1.2 1.4 that when you go to zoom it's all really too soft, Then those who want imported apertures are not lacking optics.

Pros: Sharpness up to the edges of the frame, no aberrations, good blur.

Cons: Weight and bulk for a 50, concave front lens.

Opinion: A great lens, a 50 mm that returns stunning sharpness from edge to edge, at all openings; only at f/1.8 the extreme angles are a little weaker (but just a little) but already at f/2.8 and even more so at f/4 it is almost disarming for how sharp it is, from edge to edge. Chromatic aberrations not received, not even vignetting, excellent resistance to backlight; Those who are more experienced than me could object to a bokeh that is not exactly textbook, but for my needs it is still very pleasant and is more than fine in this respect too. Excellent build quality, fast and silent focusing, nothing to complain about. I put the concave front lens among the cons as I notice that it makes it a little more difficult for me to clean than a convex lens, but I'm really looking for the nitty-gritty. I accompany it with the 24-120 f/4 S and for my needs I have a very effective, compact and very functional kit. Absolutely recommended.

Pros: Perspective correctness, sharpness

Cons: Nothing, knowing what you're buying

Opinion: Excellent lens, without a doubt the best that Nikon has ever produced in the focal length in the "normal" aperture. Quite compact, sharpness never seen before, absolute respect for the color palette. Personally, I like to play with more important lenses but I use this fifty firmly attached to my second body (a Zf) for street and travel photos, a minimal but high-level set that allows you to always have the camera with you. But you can certainly imagine building a very effective and fairly cheap layette by placing alongside ours the excellent Z 20mm and 85mm, both also f 1.8. The MTFs give unimaginable, very high responses, not comparable to any 50 Nikon ever produced and in fact the performance is completely similar to that of the 50 Art, therefore very high. But those who know a little bit about photos know perfectly well that MTFs are not everything and above all they do not give the idea of the finished photo. This is to say that obviously the 50mm f1.2 (which fortunately I own) is another story, it doesn't cost four times as much by chance. However, for the uses described above, this fifty appears absolutely irreplaceable, optically much superior to the various "all-rounder" zoommons that are popular among those who do not know what to buy. So well done Nikon, this is a really recommendable purchase!
