Nikon Z 50mm 1.2 S

The Nikkor Z 50mm f/1.2 S delivers where it counts the most. If your main subject is positioned somewhere near the center, it'll produce sharp results straight at f/1.2 combined with a very smooth bokeh. The softer corners are usually not a problem at such an aperture setting. In critical scenes you may notice some LoCAs and a bit of vignetting, though. Stopped down to f/2.8, the overall image quality becomes impeccable. Image distortions are non-issue. The Nikkor is certainly what you can describe as a brick. Of course, this applies to most ultra-fast lenses. However, it is both heavier and bigger than the similar offerings from Canon and Sony. If you don't have an issue with this, you'd get a very well-made package that will take on professional-grade tasks with ease. So while the Nikkor Z 50mm f/1.2 S may not be perfect from a lab perspective, it'll do the job in real life.

The Nikkor Z 50mm f/1.2 S is an amazing standard lens of the highest quality for the Nikon Z system.

Nikon’s Z 50mm f1.2 S is a big step-up over their existing 50/58mm DSLR lenses – literally: It is excessively big and quite heavy but for that it offers a bright f1.2 focal ratio, very good optics with a good Bokeh, and has all of the features of Nikon’s best Z-Nikkors – except for fluorine coating. Plus, the marginal focus breathing should please videographers. Optically it may not be better than Nikon’s very good Z 50mm f1.8 S which can be had for a quarter of the price, but if you need the one stop brighter focal ratio the Nikon Z 50mm f1.2 S comes Highly Recommended!
