Fast and versatile f/1.4 aperture

The fast f/1.4 maximum aperture gives you immense flexibility to shoot in available light at lower ISOs, use faster shutter speeds, and work creatively with depth of field or backlit scenes. Wide open at f/1.4, you can set your subject apart against large, beautifully soft background or foreground bokeh. Shooting landscapes, cityscapes, or street scenes? Simply stop down the aperture to attain sharp high-resolution detail from front to back.

Tack sharp, even up close

Sunlight, moonlight, starlight, streetlights, candlelight: even if you’re shooting at f/1.4, this lens’ multi-focusing system accurately locks onto your subject. Autofocus is both quick and quiet, so you can confidently and discreetly capture moments that might otherwise vanish in the blink of an eye. For more considered compositions, a 0.37 m close-focusing distance lets you fill the frame, reveal fine details, or comfortably record video in tight spaces.

Natural perspectives, beautifully captured

With its impressive rendering performance, the NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.4 lens is anything but standard. Colours are vibrant and true, contrast is crisp and clear, and brightness is beautifully even throughout the frame. Whether you’re shooting up close or at a distance, wide open or stopped down, you’ll capture scenes with real depth, clarity, and sharpness.
