I recently bought a Nikon Zf having upgraded from a Df. I’ve loved years of service with my Nikon 50mm f1.4 AF-D. I had to upgrade in order to keep auto focus. I must say the Nikon z50mm1.8S knocks my old lens off the table in just about every category, excepting size. It’s a brilliant, brilliant lens and I’ve parked my 24-70AFSG f2.8 zoom for now as I just can’t get over the sharpness of the new 50. Worth the price for sure. 10/10 Nikon. 👍
@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.

This lens is quite extraordinary. Anyone who hasn’t made the jump to mirrorless yet, here is the best reason to do so.
I’ve committed to this lens on my z30 that I use for photography primarily, love it very much
Very nice! I'm so glad Nikon doesn't treat their 50/1.8 as a garbage lens.
Happy to have you on RUclips too 🙂
Many thanks
Thanks for the awesome video!
Coincido en que es un lente extraordinario.
Nice Video.

What is DX mode?
