Nikon Canada Inc. announced the Nikkor Z 50mm f/1.4, a lightweight prime lens with a wide and bright f/1.4 aperture.
This affordable lens is compact enough to take anywhere, while offering a versatile and classic focal length that’s ideal for portraits, landscapes, street snaps, travel, still life, and more.
The large f/1.4 aperture of this lens affords the ability to create images and video with three-dimensional emphasis and naturally soft backgrounds that draw the viewers’ attention to a subject.
The Nikkor Z 50mm f/1.4 lens features a compact, comfortable, and lightweight design, measuring approximately 2.9 in x 3.4 inches and weighs 14.8 oz. The lens is engineered with a dedicated focus ring and customizable control ring.
The Nikkor Z 50mm f/1.4 includes a close minimum focus distance lets users get as near as 14.5 inches from the subject, which is great for flowers, still life, and food photography. The nine-blade diaphragm helps to create a natural, circular bokeh for a pleasing out of focus area. Focus breathing is effectively suppressed to minimize the shift of the angle of view when adjusting the focus. Near Silent operation is offered for video production, with a click-less control ring and near silent lens drive thanks to the use of STM motors. The lens is also weather sealed and designed with careful consideration for dust- and drip-resistant performance*.
The Nikon Nikkor Z 50mm f/1.4 will be available in late September 2024 for an MSRP of $679.95.
