At a Glance

This standard prime for Nikon Z gives 33 mm on APS-C, equivalent to 50 mm in full-frame terms. At f/0.95 it collects an exceptional amount of light and produces very shallow depth of field. Focus is set by hand over a long throw, and the aperture ring is stepless. Everyday, street and low-light photography are its typical uses.

  • Everyday
  • Street

Worth knowing

  • APS-C image circle: on full-frame cameras only usable in crop mode, at reduced resolution.
