The Nikon Z MC 50mm f/2.8 Marco lens also doubles as an outstanding portrait lens. The combination of its shallow depth of field and life-size magnification creates a unique, almost three-dimensional effect in your stills and videos. A bright f/2.8 maximum aperture lets you confidently work in low light conditions and offers increased control over the depth of field for isolating subjects and using selective focus techniques. ED and aspherical lens elements provide optimal correction of coma and chromatic aberration, and a fluorine coating reduces dirt, water, and smudges from sticking to the surface of the lens. Additionally, a unique front-focusing design minimizes the size and weight of the lens for easy and comfortable carrying. Compact, lightweight, and versatile, this stylish and sharp lens is likely to become one of your most prized lenses. Ideal for macro and portrait shooting, this lens offers a life-size 1:1 maximum magnification along with a minimum focusing distance of 6.3" to suit working with close-up subjects. Bright f/2.8 maximum aperture suits working in a variety of lighting conditions and also offers increased control over depth of field for isolating subjects and using selective focus techniques. Fast, accurate, and virtually silent autofocus system with suppressed hunting and breathing. Includes focus limiter switch for even more speed and accuracy across a smaller distance range. The electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism in the lens barrel provides highly accurate electronic diaphragm or aperture blade control when using auto exposure during continuous shooting. Large metal lens mount provides more light capture, sharper details, better colors, and less distortion.
