Overall, the size and weight matches very nicely with the Nikon Z 7 camera that we tested it with (and the Z 6 as both cameras are the same size and design). It weighs a lot more than the AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.8G lens (187g) and the faster AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G (290g), although if you want to use those lenses with the Nikon Z6/7, you have to factor in the size and weight of Nikon's FTZ lens adapter, which adds anohter 135g, making all three lenses much more comparable.īuild quality is excellent, with a sturdy and high-quality feel, plus a metal lens mount. Weighing in at 415g, it’s pretty heavy for a standard 50mm f/1.8 lens, especially compared to Nikon's DSLR alternatives. As this is a prime lens, there’s no zoom mechanism, and there’s no need to extend it before use either. It’s fairly large for a mirrorless prime lens, but that is necessitated by the fact that the lens has a much wider aperture than the 24-70mm f/4 kit lens. Nikon has stuck with a very simple design for the Nikkor Z 50mm f/1.8 S lens. An internal focusing mechanism is included, and like the Z 7 camera, it is weatherproof.ĭesignated with the “S” moniker, it’s anticipated that another, more affordable series of lenses will be created for the Nikon Z range, with the S series lenses designed for ultimate sharpness and image quality.Īt the time of writing, the Nikkor Z 50mm f/1.8 S lens retails for around £599 / $599. It is a prime lens offering the classic 50mm focal length, which equates to around 75mm if you use the lens in the DX crop mode. It features 12 elements in 9 groups, including 2 ED elements, 2 aspherical elements and elements with Nano Crystal Coating. The Nikkor Z 50mm f/1.8 lens is the third lens available to buy for the new Nikon Z series camera range, following the 24-70mm f/4 kit zoom and the Nikkor Z 35mm f/1.8 that were available at launch.
