50mm F1.8 S Nikkor Lens for Z Mount

Vitaliy_Kiselev

Superior rendering for exquisite image expression that redefines perceptions of what a 50 mm f/1.8 lens can do
Thorough suppression of axial chromatic aberration ensures superior resolution with faithful reproduction of the fine textures in subjects, even from maximum aperture
Sharp and clear rendering of details from the center of the frame to the peripheral edges, regardless of the shooting distance
The soft and beautiful bokeh characteristics at any shooting distance possible only with a fast (bright) lens
Adoption of two ED glass elements, and two aspherical lens elements
Nano Crystal Coat adopted to suppress ghost and flare
Adoption of a new, powerful stepping motor (STM) enables quiet and accurate AF control with both still-image and movie recording
In consideration to a dust- and drip-resistance, the entire lens, including moving parts, has been sealed

Pretty outrageous price for a nifty fifty

@theconformist

New Nikon and Canon systems will have highest margins lenses.

To be fair, the Sony/Zeiss 55/1.8 is more expensive.

Yeah, but that's Zeiss. Sony 50 1.8 is around $200.

Two Extra Dispersion, and two aspherical for such a simple Lens.

Well Done

Manu4Vendetta

Expensive, very expensive. Then the 85mm will cost more than U$1,800 dollars

They think ist a nearby Leica market.

@Manu4Vendetta

You did not see Panasonic lenses prices yet. Nikon will look like entry level offers compared to any of them.
During one of the meetings they discussed role models for new FF system - all of them are from top 1.5% by income. Their plan is to have same profit on one body that Sony is making selling 3-4 A7III/A7rIII (and this is also high margin cameras).

Review

In center sharpness is extremely high even at the widest aperture of f/1.8. It remains impressively sharp throughout the aperture range, becoming a little softer on very close examination at f/11, and slightly softer again at f/16. Edges of the image are almost as sharp, with the best results seen between f/2 and f/11.

The price is outrageous, but really not much worse than the Sony 55/1.8 ZA.
