I report when it appears on Nikon's website: "Bayonet 17% wider, Thanks to the diameter of 55 mm, it is the widest full-frame bayonet on any camera system, offering enhanced features: greater light acquisition .." Bought nital out of curiosity in July 2020 at 450, I used it twice for portrait photo sessions, promptly put it back in the closet until August 2022 when I resold it as new. Advantages: to the touch it turns out a good quality in construction (much better than the afs series). Disadvantages everything else and in particular does not have those magical colors compared to the 1.4 despite this extra light that nikon says it lets in. Excessive size in itself compared to f mount (afs). Using the ftz adapter unbalances my z6, but right now I prefer to use afs aperture 1.4 lenses. Today I think that in the face of the few optics that there are (for I tried 28 2.8, 35 1.8 and 50 1.8) it is not worth selling f mount and buying z mount again. Spending over 600 euros for the 50mm 1.8 nital new, since prices have also increased for me is crazy when with 250 you take afs 1.8 and afs 499 1.4 and with less than 150 you take home used 1.8 and 250 1.4 (like the new 1.8). Nikon a case of the series is uncomfortable and you risk that taking the optics badly falls to the ground, design it better. Update: In the comments following my evaluation, you will read reviews of photographers who instead of stopping at the simple and correct examination of the product, allow themselves to write "Those who make comparisons with the AF-S with F1.4 aperture of photography understand very little. YOU HAVE TO LEARN EDUCATION AND NOT HIDE BEHIND A KEYBOARD. I DID NOT ALLOW MYSELF TO CRITICIZE PEOPLE WHO DISAGREED WITH ME AND I WOULD LIKE OTHERS TO USE RESPECT AND POLITENESS AS WELL. TAKE A TOUR ON THE PORTRAITS TAKEN IN THE TWO PROFILES AND SUM UP, IN HIS YOU WILL FIND PORTRAITS (PERHAPS TAKEN FROM PHOTOGRAPHIC WORKSHOPS) WITH SELECTIVE BLACK AND WHITE ON LIPSTICK AND LEMON PEEL. THE MODELS WHO DECIDED TO BE PORTRAYED BY ME INSTEAD DID IT BECAUSE THEY APPRECIATE THE PHOTOS I TAKE. Rating: 5 |
 | sent on March 22, 2022 Pros: Great goal Cons: It's not really a compact goal, but given the level of construction it's not a big deal. A bit expensive to be a fifty f1.8, but it deserves the money it costs. Opinion: On Full Frame it is the classic 50mm normal lens. At one time, when zooms were not yet fashionable, the 50mm was sold in kits with film mechanical bodies. The lens in question is an excellent lens, very sharp, light but robust, with an excellent blur. Great for portraits and general photography. It is very sharp starting from f1.8 included. It can be used at all openings. Maybe one of the best 50 mm nikkor f1.8 ever produced (I had an AI f1.8, an AF f1.8, an AFD f1.4, but this is perhaps the top in the f1.8 brightness range). |
 | sent on February 04, 2022 Pros: All Cons: The price of the new (like all Z's) Opinion: A blade. Large optics, used on Z6II. Beautiful portraits. Sharpness to the maximum. Af that works well. Surely it is not a "very light" lens from mr, but it's okay anyway! Nikon quality 2020s, good stuff! Socket used by Amazon Warehouse for 300 € was a great deal (in the ad they said "scratched edge"... but the lens is immaculate!). |
  | sent on January 09, 2022 Pros: Sharpness, smooth rendering from center to edge, construction, blurry, AF fast and accurate enough Cons: generous dimensions, manual focus difficult to manage intuitively, non-standard filters for a 50mm/f/1.8 Opinion: Used first as a portrait lens on a Z50, then as a handyman lens on a Z6II. It impresses with full-aperture sharpness both in the center and at the edges. I also use it for astrophotography and in this field it surpasses all the 50mm Nikon previously tested (AF-D 50mm f/1.4, AF-S 50mm f/1.4G, AF-S 50mm f/1.8G). Fast AF, not very fast, but accurate. Excellent resistance to flare and reflections. Transition from blurry to the pleasant and pasty focusing plane, while showing excellent sharpness, which is not always easy to find in hyper sharp optics. Vignetting under control and in any case eliminable in post-production. I found two unsuccessful aspects, the first the choice to combine it with a generous filter thread, but not justifiable by the size of the front lens that is still small, so much so that with a stepdown ring and normal 52mm filters it does not vignette at all, indeed I saw that it does not vignette even with 48mm filters!. The second aspect instead is endemic in the Z optical system and I think it concerns only me (!): I find little feeling with manual focus just when I use it for astrophotography and you need to move the focus infinitesimally, you risk I have to exceed or not move the focus at all, especially when you work in the cold and with gloves, and it's a shame because the large focus ring lends itself very well to be operated in any situation. That said, the build quality is excellent. I don't particularly like the 50mm focal length on full frame, but this lens made me reconsider it |
 | sent on December 15, 2021 Pros: Everything Except Price Cons: The price Opinion: Taken used with 4 years of residual warranty, in May of 2021 (I managed to save 50 eur). I have been using it for 6 months with my z50 (APS-C) as a portrait lens (my favorite genre). Worth all the money spent. Since I have it, it is always in my backpack and there is not a single day that I do not shoot with this lens. Churn out great pictures! => Very GOOD Construction It conveys the impression of great solidity and robustness a definitely "premium" optics. => more than excellent optical quality, Great sharpness already at TA, absence of aberrations, resistance to flare. Like all Z optics it has a great resolution. A LAMA = > Bokeh good, maybe a little nervous (certainly on a FF makes better) and not very pasty. Compared to the classic vintage optics I have it is perhaps too sharp. Anyway I find the Bokeh really enjoyable. Just enough. Neither too exaggerated (soft) to become unmanageable nor too sharp to have to resort to PP. =>AF is very fast and silent = > Excellent versatility. it is a right perspective, with which you can really do all kinds of photos, Portrait, portrait set, street landscape etc. In summary: It is a really PRO perspective, very balanced and precise. You really do everything with it. I would buy it again with my eyes closed. Like all the other products of the z series that I have (as indeed from all the reviews read and listened to), it is balanced, has excellent performance and a VERY favorable value for money. I'm very glad I took it ! ? |
 | sent on October 13, 2021 Pros: Pretty much everything Cons: Maybe a bit expensive? Aesthetics Opinion: Sharp, beautiful blurry, fast, relatively light (but not small). Lens without flaws, perhaps a hair expensive considering the price of the old 50 ini for SLR, but absolutely aligned with the new mirrorless generation. Aesthetics not very successful and apparently cheap as finishes, but in reality it is very resistant. |
  | sent on May 19, 2021 Pros: Sharpness, AF speed, construction Cons: none Opinion: I bought this 50ino a little per game. I've never been a lover of this focal but just tried it didn't make me regret the cost of acqusito. Excellent sharpness, excellent blurry, excellent fast and very precise AFThe weight is not felt and the ergonomics with the Z6 are excellent. The construction is very good, definitely of a different level compared to the 50 AFS 1.8G I had owned with the reflex |
 | sent on January 11, 2021 Pros: Sharpness, AF speed. Cons: Price Opinion: Taken for portrait use on Z6, the cost is still a bit high compared to the idea of the 50mm but the yield turned out to be absolutely adequate. Resolve and sharpness far greater than seen with the F, weight and volume versions balanced and adapted to the machine body. Honestly there is nothing wrong, the blurry will not be a primacy but it is good and I have not detected problems of color rendering or light/shadow transition. In addition, Meike rings for Z also allow you to take macro-like photos at a very low cost. |
| sent on November 26, 2020 Pros: Sharpness, tropicalization, ergonomics, AF, feeling Cons: nothing relevant Opinion: I took it because I wanted a Z light optics to complement the excellent 24-70 F4 S. As already written in the review of the 24-70, I am very happy with the construction quality of these Nikkor Z: minimal design, "premium" feeling (this 50ino conveys a sense of solidity decidedly superior to the aforementioned zoom), excellent tropicalization. In addition, the optical quality is remarkable: monstrous sharpness already at TA and on the entire frame, absence of aberrations, color rendering, flare resistance. There is also the downside: such a complex optical design affects the bokeh, the tonal passages and the microcontrasto. Compared to the Zeiss optics that I continue to adore (especially those of the Classic/Milvus line, based on the old Planar, Distagon etc.) designs, it is decidedly more resolute and free of aberrations, MA has a more nervous bokeh and a three-dimensionality in the lower yield. Nonetheless, I find the bokeh still pleasant and superior to 50 art (which I find too hard), and in any case the final results are fantastic. It is a native Z optics and you can see it ... the IBIS works at full capacity (up to 5 stops), the AF is lightning fast, the integration with the machine body is absolute. I don't like the electronically controlled manual MAF, but except for the very expensive Noct (by the way af-free), all Z optics are like that. To the ring (metal, unlike the 24-70 which is rubber) I assigned the exposure compensation, but in my opinion the answer is too sensitive. In my opinion, it is the ideal lens to combine with the 24-70 F4 (and possibly the 14-30), because it is an extremely versatile luminous fixed. I, in the future, point to the trio Z 20 - 35 - 85, but for now I am fully satisfied with the two Z lenses in my possession. In conclusion, I would give a 9.5 to this 50 1.8 S, it will certainly not disappoint you. |
 | sent on November 18, 2020 Pros: Sharpness, weight, fast AF Cons: At the moment no one Opinion: Taken to replace, after switching to ML, the 50 AFS 1.8; I was impressed by the sharpness, remarkable at all opening, the pleasant blurry, the speed of focus and the absence of aberrations at full opening (at least I could not see them). Excellent backlight hold and light vignetting up to f2;8 Definitely a lens to have in your bag if interested in the focal point. Vote 10 |
 | sent on September 07, 2020 Pros: Impeccable, sharp, light excellent construction Cons: Don't have it Opinion: I had so many 50mm from 1.4mm up, but this is really extraordinary, unthinkable sharpness already at 1.8, virtually non-existent aberrations great blurred. I mount it on my Z7 for portraits and it amazes me every time I open the files on lightroom. From justice to the Z7 sensor with incredible resolution. Stra recommended. |
 | sent on August 25, 2020 Pros: Everything from a 50mm Cons: Don't have it Opinion: Today came a thank you to Mr Gabriele of Fotomoderna Siena for having me try and finally buy the optics in question. What to say the difference you see right away , it is not the usual 50 1.8 but much more already at 1.8 compared to the g series is the sharp maximum from fear I had the 50 sigma 1.4 but the impression of this optics at the first shot was magical. I will review this lens calmly and with photos but I repeat at the first catch it is wonderful. Maybe the blurry not homogeneous a little nervous but all in all good ,certainly not at the levels of 85mm.However having the Z6 I am very happy and I think on z7 from 46mega gives the maximum. |

 | sent on June 16, 2020 Pros: Sharpness, AF engine, weight, optical performance never seen on a 50 1.8 nikon Cons: Don't have it Opinion: I had so many 50 nikon except the glorious noct, previously I had a Sigma Art that in the beginning I used with FTZ. I loved the quality of the Sigma but this 50 1.8 S makes absolutely no regret, extraordinary quality and exceptional edge-edge sharpness. The best 50 AF ever produced by Nikon, the price is more than adequate for the images it churns out. |
user11063  | sent on June 09, 2020 Pros: Resolve, portability, versatility. Cons: I don't see any, especially given the drop in price. Opinion: Never photographed so much with a 50ino as with this one!. The merits and the few flaws are quietly available online while the experience can vary from photographer to photographer, but the absence of distortion and chromatic aberrations seem undisputed. Its spearhead is certainly the resolution, which even in the eye of a simple enthusiast, represents an added value whatever type of photography you practice. The dxomark score leaves a little time that it finds, despite certifiing the excellence of the lens, but its real plus is the versatility in my opinion. Like all fifty (funny to speak with diminutives of a lens that started from the price of about 900 euros and that has such a footprint!) lends itself, with the necessary exceptions, to the set portrait, the street and why not even to some cuts of landscape. It happens to keep it attached to the machine and forget about the other lenses, as long as you are willing to move to compose correctly or at least convincingly. In short, a lens that exceeds the normal expectations of a photographer who approaches the world "50", but also a lens that does not forgive much precisely because of its sharpness. Perhaps the best in the Z series and certainly one of the best 50mm, even without being a nikon-addicted!. |
 | sent on March 20, 2020 Pros: Sharpness Cons: Nothing at the moment. Opinion: The best 50 cm for mirrorless at the moment. Higher than the Nikon F and sigma 50mm 1.4 art, which I used on the D850. I can say, made comparisons au Z6 and Z7 that at the moment is superior to Sigma and many others. Try to believe a 50mm that you would never take off from the camera. Good Nikon you've taken the right direction. At the exit of the Z system many fan-boys of other houses have mocked these cameras and targets, but over time they are relieving polluted we are faced with a system that is giving excellent results. |
 | sent on January 21, 2020 Pros: Fast, silent, tropicalized, sharpened Cons: Size Opinion: I already own a 50 mmm G 1.4 and the only positive note compared to the "new" are the dimensions. For everything else the new is a really perfect match on both Z6 and Z7. If we really want to find a flaw this lies in the size maybe a little excessive for a 50 f 1.8 but it is worth all the money it costs. |
 | sent on January 20, 2020 Pros: All metal, tropicalized, af, embarrassing sharpness down to 1.8 Cons: Price, but worth all the money it costs Opinion: I have always used the Z7 with satisfaction by adapting my kit via FTZ, and I must say that with this 50 I really saw in which direction Nikon is moving, and I like it! Incredible definition, worthy of much more expensive and emlasic lenses and maybe even MF. AF that finally does justice to the Z system, fast and silent, and the possibility of programming the dial at will is really a plus not a little, I alter it from compensation of the exposure to diaphragm. It costs significantly more than the af-s brother, but there's no comparison. I found it new on Amazon at 450 euros, and soon I imagine the price will go down again. To have. |
 | sent on March 04, 2019 Pros: Construction solidity, AF, incisiveness, sharpness already at F 1.8 Cons: Weight, size, price Opinion: Definitely a step ahead of the "old" Nikon, in hand shows a remarkable build quality. The focus is very quick even the low light. The sharpness is outstanding already at 1.8. Surely the weight and the dimensions are "important" more in line with the current Zeiss than with the G Nikon.La the quality of the photos is still very high. The price at the moment is definitely a little high (I took advantage of the 100 euro discount of the Nikon promo) but it's worth them all! Rated 9.5 |
 | sent on January 11, 2019 Pros: Solid construction, overall quality, incisiveness Cons: High price Opinion: Great lens, maybe the best Nikon 50 currently for sale. Even better incisiveness of the AF-S 50 1.4. Rapid fire and silences in AF, very comfortable and wide ring if the manual focus is used. Price a bit high compared to other 50 1.8. It shows the quality of the new Z-lenses that are much better than the same for reflex. |
