PRESS RELEASE

The NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.4 is Nikon’s Latest Affordable and Fast Prime Lens for The Nikon Z System

Classically Captivating Focal Length and Large f/1.4 Aperture is the Simple Formula for Breathtaking Creativity

MISSISSAUGA, ON – September 10, 2024 – Today, Nikon Canada Inc. announced the NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.4, a lightweight prime lens with a wide and bright f/1.4 aperture. This affordable lens is compact enough to take anywhere, while offering a versatile and classic focal length that’s ideal for portraits, landscapes, street snaps, travel, still life and more.

The large f/1.4 aperture of this lens affords users the ability to create images and video with three-dimensional emphasis and naturally soft backgrounds that draw the viewers’ attention to a subject.

The NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.4 lens features a compact, comfortable and lightweight design, measuring approximately 2.9 in x 3.4 in (74.5 × 86.5 mm) and weighing only 14.8 oz (420 g). The lens is engineered with a premium feel and superb handling, featuring a dedicated focus ring and customizable control ring.

Additional Features of the NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.4:

  • Close minimum focus distance lets users get as near as 14.5 in (0.37 m) from the subject, which is great for flowers, still life and food photography.
  • Nine-blade diaphragm helps to create a natural, circular bokeh for a pleasing out of focus area.
  • Focus breathing is effectively suppressed to minimize the shift of the angle of view when adjusting the focus.
  • Near Silent operation for video production, with a click-less control ring and near silent lens drive thanks to the use of STM motors.
  • Weather Sealed and designed with careful consideration for dust- and drip-resistant performance*.
