Make every shot stand out.
The NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.4 lens is a classic focal length ideal for portraits, landscapes, street photography, snapshots and close-ups. A large f/1.4 aperture that can soften backgrounds, isolate subjects, cut through low light and freeze fast motion. Image quality that elevates every photo and video. All in a comfortable, fast prime lens designed for any Z series camera.

  • 50mm Natural View
  • f/1.4 Large Aperture
  • Prime Fixed Focal Length
  • Z Mount Full-frame/FX Format

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.

Take it everywhere

Compact and lightweight.
Great for taking the camera out quickly and snapping photos on the go.

Durable.
Designed carefully considering dust and drip-resistant performance*.

*Thorough dust and moisture-resistance is not guaranteed in all situations.

Intuitively designed.
Ergonomic handling with a knurled control ring and a rubber-coated focus ring. Compatible with any Z series camera.
