IT’S ALL IN THE DETAILS

Dramatic flair or understated elegance? With impeccable levels of detail and sharpness, rely on the
NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.2 S for extraordinary expression of fine lines and details. An all-new ultra symmetrical
lens structure has been made possible by adopting the Z mount system’s 55mm large
diameter and 16mm short flange distance. Now, achieving superior point image reproduction is just that
easy. But that’s not all, nail every scene regardless of the lighting scenario – thanks to the employment
of Nano Crystal Coat and ARNEO Coat that effectively minimises ghosting and flares.

THE BEST OF BOKEH

With a wide f/1.2 aperture, achieve beautiful circular bokeh that’s easy on the eyes with minimal colour
fringing around the edges. Let your primary subject stand out clearly with the lens’ shallow depth of
field for stunning three-dimensional effect. When you want to change it up, enjoy the same
extraordinary expression and performance in videos.

PRECISE FOCUS

Fast, accurate and smooth – enjoy all three when it comes to the AF performance of the NIKKOR Z
50mm f/1.2 S. More motors, more precision focusing, and a brand new multi-focusing system that
allows for fast and accurate AF, even with a shallow depth of field. This unprecedented AF system takes
on a whole other level when paired with your camera’s Eye-Detection AF. You’ll be able to effortlessly
ensure highly precise focusing on your subject’s eyes, meeting all your portraiture needs.

CATCH LIFE CANDIDLY

Enjoy video recording with the same superior optical performance you get in stills. Capture every candid
moment unnoticed, with the lens’ quiet operation that minimises unnecessary operation sounds. The
focus breathing support allows you to record videos with reduced changes in angle of view that can
sometimes occur when focusing. Adapt seamlessly to changes in lighting as you move from one scene to
another and enjoy smooth aperture control with a simple twist of the button-less control ring.

FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION

Anticipate your next move at every turn. All it takes is a simple click to assign a function through the lens
function (L-Fn) button, and a swift glance confirms the lens information on the information panel
without having to look through the camera’s viewfinder. Complete with an electro-magnetic aperture
mechanism, you can now be in precise aperture control, even with continuous shooting.
No matter the weather, focus on your craft and carry on with your creative pursuits from the lens’
superior dust- and drip- resistant performance2, and rubber sealing around the lens mount. All to
effectively repel dust and water droplets, so you can clean your lens with ease.
