Description
Description
Tiny worlds at a natural 50mm—sharp, light, and wonderfully close.
If you love getting lost in details—food textures, garden blooms, handmade goods, tiny creatures—this compact macro turns the everyday into something extraordinary. It delivers true 1:1 life-size magnification, focuses close without fuss, and doubles as a crisp, honest walk-around 50mm for portraits and street. Slip it on a Z body and you’re ready for both macro magic and everyday storytelling.
What you’ll notice in use
-
Life-size detail made easy: True 1:1 reproduction with a minimum focus distance of 0.16 m (0.53 ft) for frame-filling close-ups.
-
Small, light, effortless: About 260 g, 66 mm long, and uses convenient 46 mm screw-in filters—balanced and pocket-friendly.
-
Quiet, confident focus: Stepping-motor AF plus a focus-range limiter for quicker lock-on at close distances—great for skittish subjects and clean audio in video.
-
Clean optics, pleasing blur: 10 elements in 7 groups (including ED and aspherical) and a 9-blade rounded diaphragm for sharpness with smooth, natural bokeh.
-
Ready for real life: Dust- and drip-resistant design with a fluorine-coated front element that’s easy to keep clean.
-
Digitize your film, too: Works with Nikon’s ES-2 Film Digitizing Adapter to convert 35mm negatives and slides with your Z camera.
Good to know

Angle of view: 47° (FX), 31°30′ (DX).

Who it’s for
Makers, growers, crafters, and curious observers who want a lightweight macro that also plays beautifully as an everyday 50mm—sharp, quiet, and ready for anything from product shots to portraits.
