I had a chance to preview of a pre-production copy of the new and unreleased Nikkor Z 50mm F1.4 lens. Chaperoned by a Nikon staff and only having a very short time to review the Nikon Z 50mm F1.4, I give Nikon’s latest 50mm prime lens a spin. I also managed to squeeze in some time to do a quick comparison with the other Z mount lenses, the 50mm F1.2 S, 50mm F1.8 S as well as the 50mm F2.8 macro lens.
Is this lens created with the same design philosophy as the Nikkor 35mm F1.4? I think so, but this seems to perform better in terms of sharpness.
Images were taken with available lighting and the portraits in the gallery are spontaneous shots of strangers who happened to walk by. There’s no make up artist, artificial lighting, and since they were strangers, the ladies were posed almost exactly on the spot I met them.
Sneak a preview at my blog for more images with the NIKKOR Z 50mm F1.4: www.zacharylaiphotography.com/blog/1092024nikon-z-50mm-f14-preview-and-50mm-lens-comparison

Images/Videos was taken using a pre-production Nikkor Z 50mm F1.4 set and was processed from the photographer's impression.
Note that for purposes of this UA-cam video, minimal processing was done to show the true quality of the glass. Other images from my account on IG have more edits to show what you can achieve with the lens.
