Nikon Z Mount. The Nikon Z 50mm f/1.4 belongs to Nikon’s advanced Z series, which offers a wide-diameter mount that allows Z lenses to sit close to a Z mirrorless camera’s sensor for reduced aberrations, increased sharpness, and better light-gathering abilities. The thin flange distance makes it possible for Nikon to deliver top-of-the-line optics inside smaller and lighter cameras and lenses.

Travel-Friendly Video/Photo Hybrid. This lens’s normal-view length is ideal for everyday shooting and is a classic choice for portraits and street photography. It is also optimized for stable use with a gimbal.

Features that Benefit Videographers. With a noiseless stepper (STM) autofocus motor, suppressed focus breathing, and the option for linear manual focus in select cameras, the Nikon Z 50mm f/1.4 is a great, portable option for vlogging, b-footage, and events.

Configurable Control Ring. Take exposure control into your hands, literally, with the Nikon Z 50mm f/1.4 on-barrel control ring. This clickless ring can be customized to a setting of your choice: shutter speed, aperture, ISO, and exposure compensation. This can be changed in the Custom Functions menu of a Z-series camera. This is a great feature for settings you access most frequently.

Try it with These Z-Mount Cameras. The portable nature of this lens makes it a great option for shooters on the go and pairs well with slightly more compact cameras like the Nikon Z8 and the Nikon Zf. However, this full-frame lens is a great option for video while traveling and would be at home with cameras like the Nikon Z6II, which is rich in video features. It can also be used with any Z-series, Z-mount camera. On a cropped-sensor (APS-C) Z camera, this lens produces an effective range of approximately 75mm.
