Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a fantastic lens - it produces a sharp image and beautiful bokeh; I paired it with my Z5. Great build quality, as well.

This lens is awesome in low light conditions. No aberrations that I could see, and the depth of field is wonderful. It's like giving an eyeball to your camera.

Great lense. Not sure what else to say. Nikkor lenses rock

Other than your kit zoom lens this should be first lens you buy. Very versatile for street, portrait even landscape panorama shots. Beautifully sharp and focuses fast. The Z version of the nifty 50. It is a little pricey but that is Nikon not bestbuy. I am using it on a Z6ii.

I recently bought this lens and I think it is one of the best 50mm lenses I have ever used (and I have used a few over the years from a variety of makers). I only shoot at f/1.8 and it is incredibly sharp across the frame, the bokeh is nice and smooth. I really recommend.

Wasn’t a huge fan of 50mm focal length until I tried this lens. I had to have it and couldn’t be more satisfied with my purchase. Quite possible the best 50mm made.

Great bokeh and low light performance. My first Z lens prime. So far very sharp lens.

I purchased this lens specifically for taking pictures of stage performances. The f/1.8 is needed because the director likes to keep the light low and this fast lens met the challenge. Great image quality when paired with my Nikon Z5 camera. This would be an excellent general purpose lens for walking around town as well.

Sharpest lens in my bag. If you’re on the fence, grab this workhorse of a lens now. It’s lightweight and endlessly useful.

I was using a Sigma 50mm 1.4 prior to purchasing this. The Sigma is already a sharp lens but I wanted to try native. BEST DECISION EVER! This is much sharper than the sigma 50mm art lens and better yet, its a native lens. I dont need an adapter to use it.

Outstanding image quality. Online reviewers have praised this lens with good reason. It is sharp, even wide open at 1.8. If you bought your Nikon Z with the 24-70 f4, this is a perfect compliment to deliver the nice blurry background effect on people portraits. The level of detail is impressive. It is compact enough that you don't mind leaving it in you bag all the time.

This is one super sharp lens, even when shot wide open. I've found virtually no chromatic aberration in any of the images taken with this lens. Although very sharp, I find that the images have a nice character to them and don't look clinical. The size and price aren't quite in the nifty-fifty territory, but it is relatively light and compact. If you like to shoot at this focal length and want very sharp images, I highly recommend considering this lens.

Best 50mm lense I have ever used. At this price it’s an easy option.

best prime lens i ever owned. This is fast, this is sharp and most of all amazing quality. Very fast lens. i take pictures of my kids and i have been landscape photographer for years , this lens made me fall in love with potrait photography.

Awesome Nikon lens. S line means sharp images. And the focal length is used more often than not.

Bought this with my recent purchase of new Z6 camera. This 50 mm lens has been a great prime lens for individual or small group photos. Focus and bokeh is great so far. Used for sports, holiday and family photos for the short period of time I have had. Would highly recommend as one of the go to lens to get.

This is my go to portrait lens when I need full body photos. Paired with the 105 f2.8 you have one of the best one-two punches for portraits on the Nikon system!

Awesome awesome awesome, inexpensive, great lens for the money

Very nice kens. Clear picture and excellent in low light.

Love this lense, use it all the time and works amazing!
