Exceptional Macro and Portrait Capabilities

The NIKKOR Z MC 50mm f/2.8 is a normal-length macro lens designed for FX-format Nikon Z-mount cameras, also providing a 75mm equivalent focal length for DX models. Its life-size 1:1 magnification and 6.3-inch minimum focusing distance make it ideal for capturing intricate textures and details. The lens also excels as a portrait lens, leveraging its shallow depth of field to produce a distinctive, three-dimensional effect in your images.

Bright and Versatile Aperture

With a f/2.8 maximum aperture, this lens performs well in a range of lighting conditions, offering enhanced control over depth of field for effective subject isolation and selective focus. This brightness, combined with excellent edge-to-edge sharpness, ensures that your close-up shots and portraits are consistently crisp and clear.

Advanced Optical Design

The lens features ED and aspherical elements, which correct for coma and chromatic aberrations, ensuring high-quality images with minimal distortion. A fluorine coating on the lens surface helps to repel dirt, water, and smudges, keeping your lens clean and your images sharp.

Fast and Quiet Autofocus

Equipped with a stepping motor (STM), the lens provides fast, precise, and virtually silent autofocus. This makes it ideal for both still photography and video work, with reduced wobbling and minimal focus breathing. The lens also includes a focus limiter switch to enhance speed and accuracy over shorter distances.

Convenient and Robust Design

The rounded nine-blade diaphragm ensures aesthetically pleasing bokeh and background blur, effectively isolating your subject. The lens features a large metal mount for improved light capture and reduced distortion, along with a unique front-focusing design that minimizes size and weight for ease of handling.

Additional Features

  • Electromagnetic Diaphragm Mechanism: Provides precise control over aperture blades during continuous shooting.
  • Lens Barrel Indicator: Displays reproduction ratio and focus distance.
