5 Minute Review: The Nikon Z 50mm F1.2 S Is Gorgeous and Vibrant!

Reviews Editor Hillary Grigonis talks about her findings with this beautiful Nikon lens.

The Nikon Z 50mm f1.2 S was reviewed recently by us. And it’s an overall very beautiful lens. Nikon has always been a solid lens maker.

So we took our full review and summarized it in 5 minutes. Also, be sure to check out our Pro Camera Reviews show!

Why it’s honestly a war that’s not worth fighting, and the implications it will have on you. We’ll also talk about what camera manufacturers should be focusing on instead.

Could the second mirrorless full frame camera system really be your next purchase?
