50mm is a natural focal length. Similar to our field of vision, it just feels right in so many situations. The NIKKOR Z MC 50mm f/2.8 brings that just-right feeling to the exciting world of macro. Shoot as close as 0.16m and capture the smallest details at 1x lifesize magnification—ideal for spontaneous snapshots, food photography, or exploring the small details of everyday life. Or use it as an everyday lens to enhance foreground/background separation and selective focus. Compact, lightweight, and weather-sealed, it's likely to become one of your most prized and versatile lenses.
Up Close and Personal
Get as close as 0.16m to highlight the smallest details. Exciting new possibilities open at this distance—frame-filling views that reveal hidden textures, shapes, and details, all in a natural-feeling 50mm perspective.
Optimal Optics
NIKKOR Z MC 50mm f/2.8's AF system is optimized for close distances—fast, accurate, and virtually silent with suppressed hunting and breathing. Manual adjustments are silky smooth and precise. Flip the Focus Limiter switch and get even more speed and accuracy across a smaller distance range.
Large as Life
The key to transporting your viewer to smaller worlds is 1x lifesize magnification. This 1:1 reproduction ratio creates an effect unique to macro lenses. Use it to draw attention, add drama or accurately reproduce small objects and documents.
The Beauty of Bokeh
Wide-open at f/2.8, The NIKKOR Z MC 50mm f/2.8 creates a beautiful soft background blur or bokeh. Create images with dramatic selective focus, background/foreground separation for drawing in your viewer's attention.
More Than Macro
The NIKKOR Z MC 50mm f/2.8 is also an outstanding every day and portrait lens. The combination of its shallow depth of field and 1x lifesize magnification creates a unique, almost three-dimensional, effect in your stills and videos. And its compact, rugged design makes it a multipurpose workhorse.
