Standard zoom lens for versatile use
Get the shot you want with this everyday lens that offers a range of focal lengths to meet the majority of your photographic needs.

50mm focal length
A versatile focal length for capturing crystal-clear shots throughout a variety of shooting situations.

f/1.4 maximum aperture
Wide-open aperture performs exceptionally well in low-light settings. Provides remarkable depth-of-field control, so you can softly blur the background and draw attention to your subject.

Video workhorse
Lightweight, with a minimal shift in it’s center of gravity ensures ideal use on a gimbal; the multi-focus STM motor minimizes operational noises for fast, silent autofocus and suppressed focus breathing. With compatible Nikon Z series mirrorless cameras, the lens offers linear manual focusing.

Captivating natural perspective.
Capture scenes just as you see them with an immersive human-eye field of view. Draw your audience into the moment as if they were actually there.

Beautiful blur.
Open the large f/1.4 aperture and transform out-of-focus foreground and background elements into a smooth, painterly blur that accentuates your subject.

Edge-to-edge clarity.
Close down the aperture of the NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.4 lens to create immersive images with sharp details across the frame. Depict landscapes, architecture and fine textures with lifelike accuracy.

Create in any light.
The combination of Nikon’s large Z mount and an f/1.4 aperture lens unlocks exciting possibilities for low light. Use faster shutter speeds and lower ISO, minimizing noise and motion blur.

Flattering portraits.
The 50mm focal length renders faces naturally, without distorting any features. Frame attractive close-ups and waist-up shots with striking subject separation.

A classic look for video.
Record interviews, product demos, medium shots and close-ups that feel natural and immersive with the NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.4 lens. Dial in the depth of field to give your footage exactly the look you want.

Balanced handling
Lightweight and stable when using a gimbal or cage.

Suppressed focus breathing
Maintain a consistent angle of view as you pull focus or track a moving subject.

Noiseless operation
Track moving subjects in silence with the STM-powered autofocus system. Adjust aperture and ISO mid-shot with the clickless control ring.

Linear manual focus
Adjust the rotation range of the focus ring for precision focus pulls. (Requires compatible Nikon Z series mirrorless camera.)

Close focusing
At close distances, shallow depth of field becomes even more pronounced. Get as close as 14.5 inches (0.37 meters) from your subject to fill the frame with dramatic compositions.

Technology

Aspherical Lens
A lens with a curved, non-spherical surface. Used to reduce aberrations and enable a more compact lens size. Aspherical lenses minimize coma and other types of lens aberrations, even when used at the widest aperture. They are particularly useful in correcting distortion in wide-angle lenses and help contribute to a lighter, more compact design by reducing the number of standard (spherical) elements necessary. Aspherical lens elements correct these distortions by continuously changing the refractive index from the center of the lens.

Electromagnetic Diaphragm Mechanism
An electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism in the lens barrel provides highly accurate electronic diaphragm or aperture blade control when using auto exposure during continuous shooting.

Internal Focusing
A NIKKOR lens in which only the internal lens group shifts during focusing. Thus, IF NIKKORS do not change in size during AF operation, allowing for compact, lightweight lenses capable of closer focusing distances. These lenses will be designated with the abbreviation IF on the lens barrel.

Stepping Motor
NIKKOR Z lenses use a stepping motor for fast, accurate, smooth, quiet autofocus with reduced wobbling. This quiet drive system makes the lenses ideal for use when shooting video.
