PrimeMinister's reviews

  • Nikon Z 50mm f/1.8 S Nikkor

    10 out of 10 points and recommended
    Impressively sharp wide open. Insanely sharp stopped down. Good contrast. Good colors. Fast focusing. Silent operation. Good build-quality. Reasonably compact.

    The perfect Nikon fifty millimeter for me. This lens is superbly sharp wide open with pretty decent bokeh (depending on the scene) and good contrast and colors. And that's on a 45.7 megapixel sensor! Stop it down and it becomes insanely sharp. But there's no real need to stop it down, other than more depth of field. I simply can't fault this lens. Unless you're looking for some special "character" or an even shallower depth of field, there's no reason not to buy this lens. Nikon designed and build an absolute winner.
