Nikon Z 50mm f/1.4 Lens Summary

The Nikon Z 50mm f/1.4 Lens is a high-quality standard prime with a classic focal width, which is compatible with full-frame (FX) Nikon Z mount mirrorless cameras. With a bright f/1.4 maximum aperture this lens excels in low-light conditions, as well as providing creative control over depth of field.

The 9-blade diaphragm is capable of producing beautiful, rounded bokeh, making it ideal for portraiture and subject separation, with smooth defocus areas in the rest of the frame.

The Z 50mm f/1.4 is also compact and portable, making it perfect for handheld shooting as well as being versatile enough for both stills and video content. It offers effective AF performance thanks to Nikon’s multi focusing system, which delivers fast, and accurate autofocusing for both stills and video.

Nikon Z 50mm f/1.4 Lens in More Detail

Classic 50mm bright aperture lens

With its classic field of view the Nikon Z 50mm f/1.4 is a multipurpose lens, which is suitable for diverse subjects in virtually any lighting. You can follow your creative instincts with a 50mm lens, thanks to the ability to zoom in and out with your feet, stepping closer and further from your subject for perfect framing.

Versatile fast f/1.4 aperture

With its fast f/1.4 aperture this lens is ideal for capturing shots in low light while using lower ISO values to keep images free from noise. The aperture allows for creative control over depth of field, with a razor thin plane of focus and pleasing out-of-focus foreground and background elements to support the subject. This is perfect for portraits and where you want to highlight the subject in the frame.

When shooting genres like landscape and cityscape you can simply stop the aperture down and achieve a much deeper focal plane, with excellent sharpness and detail from front to back.

Sample No EXIF data

Tack sharp even at close range

Nikon’s multi-focusing system can accurately lock onto any subject, even when shooting with the lens wide open at f/1.4. When paired with modern Z cameras such as the Nikon Z f or Z6 III amongst others you’ll be able to harness autofocus even in incredibly dark scenes as low as -10EV.

The focus system is fast and quiet too, allowing confident capture of subjects even when shooting in quiet environments and capturing videos.

A close 0.27m minimum focus distance allows for frame-filling shots and video capture in tight places where other lenses might not be suitable.

Capture beautiful results with natural perspectives

The field of view which the Nikon Z 50mm f/1.4 lens captures is similar to the human eye, with extremely low levels of distortion. Coupled with the optical design and the lens renders depth, clarity and high levels of sharpness with vibrant, true-to-life colours.

Great ergonomics for creators

The outer casing is sealed against dust and moisture, allowing you to shoot outdoors worry-free, while the lightweight nature of the lens supports gimbal mounting for video recording and first person perspectives.

Nikon’s signature control ring can also be customised offering silent control over various cameras settings such as ISO or exposure compensation to enhance your workflow.

Additionally the Z 50mm f/1.4 features a 62mm filter thread which supports compact lens filters for any style of shooting. Pick up a cost-effective Hoya 62mm UX II UV Filter to protect the front element or   the Hoya 62mm Variable Density II filter for creative long exposures and recording video during brighter conditions.

Looking to sell your Nikon Z 50mm f/1.4 Lens?

Our Verdict

Nikon is expanding its range of standard prime lens options for mirrorless creators, and the Z 50mm f/1.4 Lens brings unique features that set it apart from other choices. Its lightweight design supports all-day shooting, and the fast AF system ensures that you can keep up with any subject when shooting both stills and video.

The clean design includes a customisable control ring and weather sealing, without complicating its use for snapping portraits, landscapes, street photography, and much more.

A wide f/1.4 aperture provides excellent control over the plane of focus, allowing for strong subject-background separation. When deeper focus is needed, stopping down the aperture ensures sharpness throughout from front to back.

The Z 50mm f/1.4 lens is sharp enough to match Nikon’s superb line of 45+ megapixel Z mount cameras, even when focusing close to the minimum range. Whether you want to render clean rounded bokeh for portraits, soft focus falloff for close-ups, or just need a versatile everyday option for photo walks, the Nikon Z 50mm f/1.4 could be could be precisely what you’re looking for.
