I would have loved this (and the 35) in SE forms for the Zf. The Zf is an absolutely amazing camera in search of matching AF lenses. Currently using the Voigtlander 40mm f/1.2, which looks the part, but I don't always want to MF.

Hmm will we see the 85mm get a 1.4 model to fill out the 35/50/85 lineup? If so I might can offload my sigma 85 1.4 emount lens and go native!

The thing is why not making a perfect 50mm 1.4? I am not going to walk around with this behemoth 1.2 lenses. 1.8 and 1.4 are perfect walk around lenses. Why not make the best of the best, sure it wil cost more but give people a choice.

I own the 50 1.2 , Love it! but it's soooo Heavy!! I wonder if it could be a good replacement , or just wait and hope 50 1.2 MK II would be smaller and lighter..

this looks like a banger -but its a real bummer u have to decide between 1.4 (background separation/low light) or the 1.8 S (clarity etc).... or spend $2700 doll hairs for 1.2 (everything) .... like can we get a proper 1.4 S for $1300 -is that unreasonable to ask for ??????? @nikonusa 🙏

All Nikon’s 50mms are interesting IMHO. All of them have been stellar in the middle apertures and poor from wide open until around F/4. Until the 50mm F/1.8 z, which has stunning sharpness and good color wide open and thereabouts. I still have the 50mm F/1.2, but rarely use it. For me, color issues and lack of snap under flat light, which is strange, as in contrasty light, this thing snaps. And at F/4 I find it being one of the sharpest lenses I have ever used, rivaling the old Nikkor 55mm F/2.8 AIS Micro and my German ( not Japanese ) made Zeiss and Leitz lenses. But it is way to heavy and beastly. I need to use a shutter speed of 1/1600, maybe 1/1250 if I really work at it to get maximum results. Maybe am to old or nervous or what have you. And to me, the 50mm F/1.8 z can have more of a luscious, luminous film like look so I have been ok. But this 50mm F/1.4 z at first glance seems to offer a balance of snap and depth. Can’t wait to see more from you.

Would you get this over a voigtlander. Just wondering why the Nikkon lenses look so huge. Sometimes I would like more compact design. But it looks good.

EXCUSE ME?!? So happy.

Does this lens have better quality than the Z 50mm f1.8 S?

im not buying this lens. already got z 35/1.8s. I WILL BUY Z 50MM F1.8S lol. but i think ill get the z 85/1.4

Nikon (probably with Tamron) is fighting back against the South Korean and Chinese "value" players. I am very pleased with my nine Samyang lenses (and two Tamrons), but it's good to see the Japanese lens makers getting creative and competing better.

Love your song❤

Hey Tayler -if u had to choose -which one -85 s 1.8 or this 50 1.4?

Great lens and great pictures out of it!

Let’s go canon…I’m waiting!

If I look at the picture at 1:37 the bokeh in the upper right corner doesn't look great to me (bokeh balls are not round and have a green edge). The in my opinion not too great bokeh can also be seen at 3:14. The more central part of the image looks better. Personally I don't care too much about sharpness, because it cannot be seen on RU-vid, Instagram or Facebook. But the bokeh will always be visible. Even though I want a faster 50mm lens than f1.8 I'll probably keep my 50mm f1.8 S. The f1.2 is optically great, but unnecessarily huge and heavy and I don't really like the bokeh of this f1.4.

3D pop??
