The Nikon Nikkor Z MC 50mm f/2.8 is a normal-length macro prime lens that will enable Z-Mount Cameras to get up close and personal with the minute details of everyday life with its life-size 1:1 maximum magnification and a 16 cm minimum focus distance. Besides being also outstanding as a portrait lens, its normal focal length combines with its shallow depth of field and life size magnification to offer an almost three-dimensional effect in your stills and videos. its improved shallow depth of field control is thanks to the bright f/2.8 maximum aperture that enables working in dimmer condition as well. Isolation of subjects is enhanced by the beautiful boken and background blur enabled by the rounded nine-blade diaphragm. Optically, ED and aspherical lens elements provide optical suppression of coma and chromatic aberration that adds to the edge-to edge sharpness achieved by this lens. In addition, a fluorine coating is applied to reduce dirt, water, and smudges from sticking to the surface of the lens.
Complementing the optics ane benefitting both still and video applications, a stepping motor provides for precise, quick, smooth and silent autofocus with reduced hunting and breathing. A focus limiter switch is integrated into the design to provide even more speed and accuracy during focussing while a unique front-focussing design minimises the size and weight of the lens for ease and comfort during transportation and handling. Within the lens barrel, an electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism provides markedly accurate electronic diaphragm or aperture blade control when using auto exposure during continuous shooting. On the lens itself, there is a handy indicator for reproduction ratio and focus distance. This macro lens is compatible with the separately available ES-2 Film Digitizing Set, which allows you to turn your 35mm negatives and slides into digital files. The lens comes supplied with a front and rear lens caps, a lens hood, and a lens case.
