This is one prime lens all photographers need in their kit bags, rendering as close a field of view as the human eyes when paired with a 35mm full-frame camera. Nikon’s latest normal lens is an FX-format compatible Z mount lens with 420 g weight and 0.37 m minimum focus distance. The lens offers a compact and affordable option to photographers without compromising on image quality.
The Nikkor Z 50mm f/1.4 is designed to deliver stills with shallow depth of field, rendering large and soft bokeh. The large aperture lets in more light, allowing faster shutter speeds and helping deliver cleaner images at low ISO sensitivity.
The lens is designed to suppress focus breathing, providing a natural-looking image with a constant angle of view even while adjusting focus. A stepper motor (STM) enables fast and quiet AF operations, making it compatible with videography. The compact and lightweight design makes it ideal for shooting on a gimbal, maintaining balance with minimal shifting to the centre of gravity.
This is Nikon’s second non-S-Line lens to adopt a metal filter ring cover to minimise wear and tear. The lens has a gradually widening design from base to tip for a comfortable grip. It has sealing at crucial points including movable parts of the lens barrel for superior dust and drip resistance.
The Nikkor Z 50mm f/1.4 will be available at an MRP of Rs. 79,995.
