  • Nikon Z 50mm f/1.8 S Nikkor

    9 out of 10 points and recommended
    Smallish Very Sharp
    Pricey

    Sometimes it is good to shoot with a prime, to reduce depth of field more than you can with a zoom. Mainly used it for landscapes and city scapes so far, and been impressed with the results. I sold my 1.4 screw drive Nikkor F mount a long time ago and bought a Sigma Art 50mm instead, but that is big and with the adapter for the Z even bigger. The Nikon 50mm f/1.8 S is only half a stop slower but considerably smaller and lighter and optically superior, although I have no complaints about the Sigma. I would highly recommend the Nikon Z 50mm f/1.8.
