Sharp across the frame, even at wide apertures, Minimal chromatic aberration, Weather-sealed design, Solid, quiet performance
Heavier than F-Mount 50mm f/1.8, Pricier than F-Mount 50mm f/1.8
If you want a sharp nifty fifty for the Nikon Z6 or Z7, yes. The F-Mount option can do well with the FTZ adapter if you already have the glass, but the Z 50mm offers a better build and image quality if you can stretch to the higher price point.Nikon Nikko...

solid, mostly metal, weather sealed barrel, sensational image quality in the frame centre, very good image quality on the edge of the APSC/DX sensor, acceptable image quality on the ege of full frame, moderate longitudinal chromatic aberration, negligible
distinct vignetting on full frame, After the test of the Nikkor Z 50 mm f/1.8 S the list of pros and cons, published above and my overall impressions allow me to state that it is one of the best 1.8/50 class instruments I have had a pleasure to handle and

The new wider Z-mount with its shorter register means that there's a lot more flexibility for the optical engineers when designing lenses. Although the benefits derived from this are usually more applicable to wide-angle designs, there has been a noticeab...

Low light photography, where edge-to-edge sharpness at wide apertures is hugely beneficial
Portraiture, where the slightly harsh bokeh can be distracting in some situations
