Review VerdictThe Nikkor Z 50mm f/1.2 S delivers where it counts the most. If your main subject is positioned somewhere near the center, it'll produce sharp results straight at f/1.2 combined with a very smooth bokeh. The softer corners are usually not a problem at such an aperture setting. In critical scenes you may notice some LoCAs and a bit of vignetting, though. Stopped down to f/2.8, the overall image quality becomes impeccable. Image distortions are non-issue. The Nikkor is certainly what you can describe as a brick. Of course, this applies to most ultra-fast lenses. However, it is both heavier and bigger than the similar offerings from Canon and Sony. If you don't have an issue with this, you'd get a very well-made package that will take on professional-grade tasks with ease. So while the Nikkor Z 50mm f/1.2 S may not be perfect from a lab perspective, it'll do the job in real life. Support us by shopping at: * Amazon US * B&H * Adorama * KEH (used gear)

AI-assisted summary — verify against linked sourcesWhere can this lens be adapted?
The Nikon Z mount has a flange distance of 16 mm. A plain adapter fits a camera whose flange distance is at least 1.46 mm shorter. How lens adapters work
- Native lenses set the aperture, and often the focus, electronically. On a plain adapter they do not work. Use an electronic adapter made for this pair; for many pairs nobody makes one. Fully manual lenses are the exception.
- Nikon Z DX lenses cover APS-C only.
