The Nikon Nikkor Z 50 mm f/1.2 S is a full-frame standard prime lens manufactured by Nikon for use on Nikon Z-mount mirrorless cameras.

Introduction

The lens was introduced on September 16, 2020.^[2] The lens comes with a bayonet-type lens hood (HB-94).

Cameralabs praised the lens' optical quality, resistance against flair, glare and ghosting, minimal distortions and focus breathing, while criticized its large dimensions, heavy weight and high price tag.^[3] Richard Haw pointed out that this is the first ever 50 mm f/1.2 Nikkor lens that has autofocus. He called it the "king of 50 mm lenses" and "the best lens in class", praised the clarity of the photos the lens gives and also its price not being expensive either.^[4]
