UNBOXING. PHOTOSHOOT. REVIEW. $2000 Nikon Z 50mm f1.2 S - NEW Portrait Photography Killer Lens

Key takeaways

  • Not your standard 50mm. The first NIKKOR 50mm f/1.2 with autofocus (from 0:00).
  • Heavy. I could feel it before taking it out of the box (from 1:00).
  • S-Line coatings. Nano Crystal and ARNEO coatings reduce flare and ghosting (from 2:00).
  • Like the 58mm f/0.95, but not $8,000. And it has autofocus (from 2:00).
  • 0.45 m minimum focus. About 1.5 feet, less than an arm's length (from 4:00).
  • Control ring and shortcut button. Customizable, though I kept bumping the aperture (from 7:00).

I just got the new Nikon Z 50mm f1.2 S and I had to try it out instantly, it is the first NIKKOR 50mm f/1.2 lens with autofocus. We took the lens out for some real-world shooting and testing out its limit and the result was pretty surprising!
