Nikon Z 50mm f/1.8 S Review

This hands-on review covers everything that you need to know about the Nikon Z 50mm f/1.8 S – the original “nifty fifty” prime lens that Nikon released for their full-frame mirrorless Z System in 2018. Although it’s a small lens with sparse external controls, the build quality and optical design of the Nikon Z 50mm f/1.8 S are surprisingly advanced. The lens features a 12-element design with two aspherical elements, two ED glass elements, Nano Crystal coating, and Super Integrated Coating. No wonder Nikon considers it part of their “S-Line” of signature lenses.
