Nikon Z MC 50mm f/2.8 Macro Review

This hands-on review covers everything you need to know about the Nikon Z MC 50mm f/2.8 Macro, a lightweight macro lens for Nikon’s Z System. As a true macro lens, the 50mm MC is capable of reaching 1:1 magnification, albeit with a short working distance. It was announced alongside the Nikon Z MC 105mm f/2.8 Macro in 2021, and as of this review’s publication in 2025, these are still the only two macro lenses that Nikon makes for the Z System.
