Sharpest lens I've ever used.

Outstanding lens. I love the 50mm because they have the same angle of view as human eyes do at first glance. I've been shooting for over 50 years and the "nifty 50" is my basic carry lens. Of course I have my specialty lenses also. The z50 1.8 is the sharpest lens I've ever used with no noticeable falloff or aberration. It is a tad bit sharper than the z80 1.8, which is also an outstanding lens. Nikon has produced some of the finest lenses ever with their s series z lenses.

Great lens. Quick and responsive with no nonsense. Nothing negative so far. Fits right in with Nikon!

Beautifully sharp images with creamy bokeh. I have always been a lover of my 50mm 1.8 with my DSLR so when I upgraded to my Z6ii I knew I wanted the Z50mm 1.8 to go with it. Once again, my nifty fifty is still my favorite.

The reviews on this lens are spot-on when they call it Nikon's best ever 50 mm. For a nifty-fifty, this lens is expensive and bigger than its competition, but the image quality is absolutely worth it. Paired with my Nikon Z7, this is an amazing combination. A little more work to compose at this focal length, but I can get used to it. I will be using this to shoot landscapes as multi-frame panoramas and expect super resolution images.

If you want to leave one lens on your camera to handle most situations, this 50mm is literally perfect. It's incredibly sharp, very affordable, not heavy, and can be used for portraits, full body, and reasonable scenics. No lens is perfect for everything, but this is the most perfect all-around prime for most situations!

I love taking images that can capture real colors and details, as if I were freezing a real moment in an image and this lens based my desires. I love the reality of the images that he gives.

I'll be honest, I'm far from an expert and for a long time questioned why people spend so much on glass. I write for a motorcycle publication and recently decided to improve my camera system and gear for the various reviews and travel stories I write. I ended up deciding on the Z5 and this lens to do the bulk of my legwork on, and wow - color me impressed! This lens' ability to make it seem as though I know what I'm doing is plainly worth every penny that it costs and perhaps more. An added bonus is that it's durable - something that comes in great handy when your camera and lens are bouncing around on an adventure bike at 80mph across a desert. How do I know you may ask? Well shortly after opening the lens, butter fingers me dropped it on my hardware floors. Tada! Unscathed. Very happy with this purchase.

I bought this lens 3 weeks ago and since then I'm very pleased. The picture quality is top notch. The only downside is the focusing noise like my power drill when start and stop. This lens supposed to be virtually salient.

50mm is my favorite focal length (at least right now), and this is a nearly perfect nifty-fifty. The image quality is astounding on my Z7 II, even compared to my 50mm f/1.8 G lens I've had for the past 11 years, which was no slouch. The sharpness is excellent, nearly no chromatic aberration to speak of, minimal distortion, and beautiful soft bokeh. Auto-focus is very solid, locking right on, and works very well with IBIS. The build quality is great: weather sealed, metallic, and very simple. The only downside of this lens to me is that it's a little bigger than I'd like, but in the end it is very nearly the same size as the G lens with the FTZ adapter, so it's not unreasonable. Just for street photography where I'm trying to fly under the radar, the little 40mm f/2 Z pancake lens looks enticing, but I wouldn't want to trade the image quality for the size. Highly recommended.

We all have to have the Nifty Fifty and although I had it in an F-mount, I wanted a Z-Mount for my Z6. It does what I expected with clearer images.

Love this lens. Perfect for what I need in an everyday lens. Excellent in low light. Excellent in bright light. So happy. Everyone should have one of these. I?m down to two lenses now: this 50mm prime and a 70-200 f/2.8. It?s all I need (until the next lens of course)

The Nikon Z 50mm 1.8 S-line lens is a must have in your arsenal if you plan on getting a 50mm prime or any prime among short zoom focal lenghts. Beats the S-line 35mm too in sharpness. One of the few lenses I've seen generate pictures with end-end sharpness right from the widest aperture and the rest are all more expensive than this lens. CA, flaring are pretty much non existent. I plan to keep this on my camera as the primary lens going forward.

Great all around lens to keep on your camera! I love my z 70-200 2.8 s, but I needed a more practical everyday lens for travel and family photos. It?s a sturdy, fast nifty fifty that balances well on my z6ii. It?s a great lens to add to your kit. If you need a walk around lens, don?t hesitate; but this lens!

Great and versatile prime to keep on my camera! Definitely one of the best ?nifty fifties? for an affordable prime. It can?t beat my z 70-200 s 2.8 for my shoots, but this is great to carry around everyday for trips and for family photos.

Not too much use yet, but presents excellent images on test patterns. Very light and easy to carry lens with good near focus properties. Not quite a macro, but looks good up close and personal. Should be good portrait and people lens, and I like the big aperture capability.
