Review: Nikon Nikkor Z 50mm f/1.8 S - Nifty Fify Reborn or a Hidden Gem Beyond That?

[@EricTomczak]

Very nice! I'm so glad Nikon doesn't treat their 50/1.8 as a garbage lens.

This lens is quite extraordinary. Anyone who hasn’t made the jump to mirrorless yet, here is the best reason to do so.

What is DX mode?

[@PR-Reviews]

@tonypaulprince In Nikon cameras, the DX mode makes the full-frame camera act like an APS-C camera. It does this by using the Centre part of the sensor only, as large as on an APS-C camera. You will get exactly the same effect as if you had been using an APS-C camera. So, it converts you fullframe camera to an APS-C camera.

I agree that it is a very nice lens. It is sharp and has a nice bokeh. Of course, there are some things that could be improved. The autofocus could be a bit faster and it is also a bit disappointing that it is "only" an f1.8 lens. If it was an f1.4, it would be perfect. However, looking at the recently announced 50mm f1.4, it seems that f1.4 lenses are harder to design, as this lens is in my opinion neither as sharp in the image corners nor does it have a bokeh that is as nice as the one of the 50mm f1.8 S.
