Nikon NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.4 Lens (Nikon Z)

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.

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.
