Which 50mm 1.8 for your Nikon Z camera?

[@nickolasmazzara127]

From what i’ve heard/read, it seems like every Z-mount lens released so far is pretty incredible.

I don't get why people don't like the new Z lenses (not all of them are S lenses, those are the premium lenses). I really like that they're not overstated or have all kind of weird writings and rings. They're not drawing any attention.

I do find them attractive, and they match the cameras. I wish they were smaller, but apparently it’s not possible.

DUDE I literally dont watch any other video on photography except yours lol. Youre just so cool, i bought the nikon zii (from d750) Thanks to your channel. I am poor and do not have the money but i saved for it and worked hard to get it and i wish hope to make the same photos as you!

[@AllSortsOfScripts]

I have this lens and I completely love its sharpness. It’s so satisfying to see all the light going in at 1.8 🤩. There is nothing to complain about it and its totally worth the investment. I use it with my z6 and its just a beast.

[@JJBee613]

You’re right-the 50mm g lens is amazing. I have it on my new Z fc (gorgeous camera!) and an 85 1.8 s on my z6 II, and for giggles, shot portraits with both kits simultaneously. And honestly, the photos are equally amazing, g and s lenses. I thought I’d sell the 50mm 1.8g eventually, but I might just keep it.

[@Honkus]

Not having any old Nikon glass, I opted to save a few bucks when I got my Z6 II and didn't get the FTZ. I have been really loving my z 50 1.8, z 105 2.8 macro and z 20mm 1.8. I really can't be happier....or could I. :D I have been debating getting a FTZ to try out some of the 'classic' old glass. For now....just living the Z life.

[@paulthomas8986]

I really like the way the older G lenses render. I have the 50 1.4G and the colors are superb. I cant match it with the Z lens, its more than a white balance difference. Skin tones are beautiful, and you can find them used for $225-250. Its downfall is the focus is terrible 8( But its still worth it. The 70-300 afp is a fantastic all around lens too. Focus is silent and fast.

[@d7dun1010]

[@ogonzilla]

[@antonvoloshin9833]

This video is a perfect illustration of the principle "sharpness is not everything" - the G-lens color rendition is so much better, so 3-dimensional, contrasts just awesome... when you compare tnem like that one by one this difference is really obvious

[@baronsilverton6504]

Omar - you are a witty and entertaining fellow. I think you analysis was very good of the differences between the 50 1.8G and the 50 1.8 S lens and why one might choose on over the other. I would add a couple points: First, the 50 1.8 S lens is likely the best 50 1.8 lens made (by any manufacturer) for under 2-3K and it is around $500. It competes head to head with Zeiss lenses that are north of $3k, so if someone has the $500 for this lens, it is likely the best bang for the buck in lens purchases period - certainly one of the best. This takes nothing away from the 50 1.8 G if someone has it and likes it, and it was a good lens for its price point, but the 50 1.8 S is definitively the better lens in every way, so if someone can afford it they should get it. Secondly and this builds on the last point, the 50 1.8 S is hands down the better video lens. I know that you were reviewing based on still shooting only, and that is valid, but for those that want the most out of their Z cameras, video should be considered. In this case, the 50 1.8 S lens has virually silent AF whereas the 1.8 G lens is very noisy when it focuses (on video), and more importantly, the 50 1.8 S has NO focus breathing at all. It is truly astounding. The engineering that was put into this lens is staggering. It is the sharpest 50 1.8 I've seen, and the research confirms this comparing it to $3+K Zeiss lenses, it has incredible edge to edge sharpness - something that the G lenses cannot obtain due to the greater flange distance (still true on the FTZ adaptor), and finally zero focus breathing - compare this to Canon's new RF 50 1.8 - which is a great lens for stills and is inexpensive only $199 (to Canon's credit), but it focus breathes terribly making it a less than optimal choice for video. That all said, as you have pointed out, the FTZ adaptor is pretty amazing. I still use my 58 1.4 G lens and my 105 1.4 E lens with the FTZ adaptor and both of these lenses are actually better on the Z cameras than they ever were on the DSLR's. The IQ is equally good as it ever was, but now both lenses have focusing points across the frame allowing for better/easier composition acquisition, and they now have 3 axis image stabilization whereas before on the DSLR's they had none. I will likely never get rid of these lenses - I enjoy them more than ever now on the Z cameras than I did before native to DSLR. In particular the 105 1.4 E lens is a beast of a lens with a very special output that is not replicated in other lenses - it is probably the best portrait lens that Nikon has ever made next to the 200mm f/2 lens but that beast is over $5k. Given that own this lens, and based on your comments when holding it in this video, I am guessing that you feel the same way. I look forward to your video on the subject :) -B

I came from an Olympus system to the Nikon Z system. When I bought my Z5 I was offered the FTZ adapter for $99. I took it! I didn't know how well it would work, but I took the chance and am very pleased with the ZTF (especially since it has it's own tripod mount). When I bought the Z5 I got the 24-200 and 85mm f1.8 G. I then bought the 50mm f1.8 new (probably paid too much) and I love it! For my portraits it has been great. When walking around I carry it and my Tamron 17-35. Since they are both F mounts the adapter just stays on! Thanks for sharing, but you really should change the title to include the ZTF in the title! LOL! Till next time...

[@ogonzilla]

Thanks for watching and sharing!!

[@joao.s.cardoso]

My first SLR was an Nikon back in late 90's. A Nikon... F60. Yes you read that right. The camera with a weird interface. So this month I saw an Nikon F80 selling with a couple of lens and I remembered I had a couple of TRI-X and a Couple of Ektachrome films on the fridge. Plus I went to a photography event where I meet a guy that just gave me a Fujifilm Superia 100 as a challenge to use it. I could not resist. I got the F80 and obviously, the 50mm 1.8 G. I didnt developed any roils yet, I'm still half way through an Ekta roll. But 90% of the photographs are done with this lens. Now... let me tell you how cool of an experience has been. Shooting with film has slowed down my decision process, and I'm looking at photographs are something different. Something that I wont be able to delete, or review in the back of the camera. I'm using expired film, so I dont know if will turn out ok, how tha colores will be, the grain, I dont even know if the camera is working properly until I develop that first roll. Still I'm not making any shortcuts. Taking my time to make sure that each click, clank, Zzzzzz counts. The 50mm is silent, quick to focus even on this older model, and from what I've so far, all reviews say the same. Its a pretty damn good lens. So let me throw back at you this challenge. You already have the lens. If you dont have a Nikon F series film camera, get one and do a roll. :) I'm sure you will have a blast and would make a really cool video :)

[@hakanelfving6098]

Dude your entertaining to watch, I'm really enjoying your channel 👍

[@lawyerdch]

Either way you slice it, there is no advantage in going mirrorless as far as weight and compactness. The Z6II with the G lens and adapter is exactly the same weight as the D750 and the 50mm G lens (1026 grams). Give me the digital version (full frame) of the Nikon FE or FM with old-style compact lenses. I think that's what us hobbyists want (IMHO).

[@johndaubney7311]

Man I have a love hate relationship with the 50mm z 1.8s. It is sharp and the clarity is amazing. It’s almost too perfect. So perfect that when I use other glass I miss that sharpness. When I go “artsy “ with the voightlander 58mm f1.4 or the voightlander 40mm f1.4, although I LOVE the rendering of both those lenses I miss the crispiness of 50z. The 50z lacks a bit of character. I would never ditch it there is something about the lens I love and it spoils you even when I go artsy. 1st world problems lol. I did buy the ftz adapter with the 85mm f1.4g and wow. Great lens and the ftz is fantastic. It also sends exif data to the camera when I use the voightlander 58mm on it as well as allowing me to use in camera aperture adjustment. I’m digging it. I’m going to get some more g series glass. Next up is the 35mm f1.8g. I can’t see myself paying the premium for the 35mm z. It’s too big as well. Anyhow like you Omar I’m a Fuji shooter but have ventured into the z system and loving it. You’re so right about that grip. It’s awesome. First love is Fuji (I have the XT-3 and the gfx 50R) but for paid work I can see myself using mostly Nikon. So many awesome choices these days

[@ogonzilla]

I have an AF-S 50 mm f / 1.4 and a Z 50 mm f / 1.8 S on a Z6II, mainly for street photography in the dark. The z lense is a bit darker, which might be a little problem in my case. However, it is superior in any other way. Both lenses are great, but considering that the price difference between the two lenses is not too much these days and you need an FTZ adapter for the AF-S, I'd always go for the z lense.

[@JoeHoddinott]

Personally I never really loved the look of Nikon's G lens designs but really love the understated clean design of the new Z glass. Also don't yell at me - I have two FTZ adapters. One is permanently bolted to my 85/1.4G and the other to the Sigma 35 ART. :)

As a lot of people tend to go mirrorless, I had lots of opportunities to get FX lenses. Got me a 24/1.4, 35/1.4, 50/1.4 and also a 105/1.4. All used and in very good condition. If my pictures are bad it's not because of the lenses ;-) For me the Z lenses are way too expensive, even the f1. 8 versions. If I ever get a Z9 I would still use those lenses with a FTZ2. And by the way: If I would need a job with a lightweight camera I'd take my Panasonic Gx9. Thx for showing this, Omar!

[@fthprodphoto-video5357]

The 50mm 1.8G is the best bang for the buck out there : way sharper than the 1.4G at 1.8-2.8, quick focus, sturdy and light weight. The Sigma 50mm 1.4 Art, HSM or the Tamron 45mm 1.8 VC are excellent alternatives too, not sure if they work with the FTZ2 adapter though

[@ronaldmoravec2692]

Tried two 50 G, 1.8 & 1.4 on Z CameraS, yes 2 of of them. The 18 was very sharp and I like it better than numerous faster 50. Downside is AF “hunts” in low light indoors. Takes 1 to 2 sec to focus. They go to minimum, then infinity, then come back to focus. 40 2.8 S is bargain of the Century. Or get the Nikon Z.

[@marike1100]

I’m a Nikon user/fan for ages, considering a Z5 or Z6. I also really like the size/images from the Z50 but I hate the plastic mount DX lenses for it. So if I decide APS-C over FF, I may just get a Fujifilm XT-2 for the superior crop sensor lens lineup. Great channel, thanks.

[@JasonLorette]

I have the old and the new...the new 50mm is insanely good. One of the things I don't like about the adapted lenses is the drop in MP when using adapted G lenses. The new 50mm is also soooo quiet! That quiet is really great for recording video as sometimes the lens focusing can be picked up by your mic (if not off camera). The 50mm S is definitely a fantastic lens. :)

Agree that the 50 focal length is super versatile and excellent pair with a 24 or any wide zoom vs. the 35/85 combo.

I love my old 50mm f/1.8G, in fact, I think it's better in some ways than my new Canon RF 50mm f/1.8. The 50 1.8 is actually a good sports lens, indoor sports, basketball in a high school gym with weak lights, that is where a 50 1.8 shines for sports, volleyball too. That said, I was impressed by the improved sharpness from the S. Oh, let's talk about S. I think S is Nikon's Copy of putting a letter on their top-line lenses, kind of like like Canon put an L on their's to denote that. So, all the Nikon Z mount lenses are Z but only the best get that S designation. I always enjoy your videos, Omar.

So true..I use a 50mm 1.8 G with the z5 and rented out the 50 and 85 S lens. Literally no difference in picture quality between the 50 mm lenses unless you really zoom in... but the autofocus is spot on for 50mm S line when u click photos of your little one running around. The 50mm S version feels well stitched for the camera only for the autofocus situation other than the fact I already own the 50MM 1.8 G version, I didn't feel like getting the S counter part. But I found 85mm 1.8 S was a tad bit sharper in terms of image quality

I have the 85mm 1.8 s, and love it, the only thing I hate it's has a round lens hood not a bayonet hood like the 50mm

Freakin' best review I can remember watching.

[@dogdadoutdoors]

I guess for video you can tell even less assuming you have locked focus so don't need the stepless motor

Spend the money, buy the 1.8s, it is Fantastic. Best lens you can buy period.

Debating on switching to Fuji XT4 from my old Nikon D300. If I stick with Nikon and go z6 II, will my Nikon 50 and 85mm 1.8 D lenses work with the adapter?

[@quikee9195]

No, AF-D lenses don't autofocus with FTZ.

Maaan, awesome pics! Which picture profile did u use? Or it’s with post editing? And which app do u use: lr or c1 for NEF-files?

[@ogonzilla]

Thanks!!! These were edited raws in LR. I apply the "Standard color profile" in LR, either the shadows up a bit. Then a curve adjustment. In the next Nikon video they are all edited raws.

That microscope is cool! I just got the Nikon Zf and the 50mm 1.8S. It’s pretty dang awesome. Now I want another Nikon! (Came from XT5, don’t tell the fanboys, but I did keep the X100V!). Anyway, I love Nikon! And Fuji! Yay photography!

I have 27mm pancake on Fuji which is 40mm full frame eq, is 40mm close enough?
