A nifty-fifty is a staple in any photographer's kit bag, and they don't get much better than the Nikon Z 50mm f/1.8 S.
True, its f/1.8 aperture isn't quite as quick as some, but Nikon created this lens with outright optical quality in mind, and it is by far one of the sharpest lenses we've ever had the pleasure to test. Build quality is equally sublime, and at this price, it's actually cheaper than the 'budget' non-S-line Nikon Z 50mm f/1.4, as this Amazon deal knocks an incredible 48% off the list price.
The lens was one of the very first Z-mount lenses released when Nikon debuted its Z-system line. At the time of the review, we said, "Nikon’s new Z mount has paved the way for lenses that set new benchmarks for optical quality. In focal length terms the Z 50mm f/1.8 S prime may be ‘standard’, however in every other respect this lens is anything but."
