NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.2 S

The Nikon NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.2 S is a tour de force in standard prime design — combining f/1.2 aperture with outstanding wide-open sharpness and three-dimensional subject rendering that is only possible through the Z-mount's large 55mm inner diameter. A Nikon S-line flagship prime that competes with the finest lenses from any system.
