Nikon is growing its Z Series line with the addition of two new lenses — the ultra-wide NIKKOR Z 14-24mm f/2.8 S and the powerful NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.2 S lenses — both announced and available for preorder today. The Z Series line pairs cutting-edge mirrorless cameras like the Nikon Z7 with an ever-growing roster of lenses to help Nikon creators bring those perfect images to life.
The highly anticipated NIKKOR Z 14-24mm f/2.8 lens is the world’s shortest and lightest full-frame f/2.8 lens, which means Nikon photographers can hone their landscape and astrophotography skills more than ever. With the sharp NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.2 lens, everyone from portrait and wedding to food photographers can deliver crystal-clear images with stunning bokeh backgrounds that are sure to impress. Here’s everything we know about the NIKKOR Z 14-24mm f/2.8 and the 50mm f/1.2 lenses, available for preorder today with November availability.
NIKKOR Z 14-24mm f/2.8 Lens ()
The NIKKOR Z 14-24mm f/2.8 lens is a game-changer for the Z Series lineup. This lens is the shortest and lightest full-frame zoom of its kind, with an ultra-wide focal length that’s perfect for landscapes, cityscapes, and astrophotography. Photographers and videographers can expect pristine edge-to-edge sharpness, little-to-no distortion, and low-light versatility with the 14-24mm f/2.8 lens. And, thanks to a new optical design, this lens is impressively short and lightweight — almost 35% lighter than its predecessor.
With a nearly flat front lens element, you can easily attach a variety of filters, including neutral density, neutral color, and circular polarizing filters. The rear filter can also accept trimmable filter gels for extra flexibility across scenes. The ease of use continues, with custom controls, including a one-touch shortcut button, an EL display panel, and a custom control ring. A nano crystal coat also suppresses flare, ghosting, and coma, meaning the photos you envision can actually come to life.
Here are the 14-24mm f/2.8 lens highlights:
- Ultra-wide 14-24mm focal length
- Large aperture at f/2.8
- Lightweight build that’s 35% lighter than its predecessor
- Built for ND, NC, and circular polarizing filter compatibility
- Extensive weather sealing
- Custom controls

NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.2 Lens ()
Expect impressively life-like photos with the crystal-clear NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.2 lens. This small-but-mighty lens is Nikon’s fastest and most impressive AF prime to date. It pairs those awe-inspiring prime results — think sharp subjects, dreamy bokeh, and utmost clarity — with a bright f/1.2 aperture that works pristinely in low-light settings.
Focus is one of this prime lens’ biggest perks. It boasts a multi-focusing system that powers numerous lens elements to focus instantaneously for quick and precise autofocusing, whether you’re shooting close-ups or wider shots. Like the 14-24mm f/2.8, this lens also offers edge-to-edge sharpness and low distortion. Versatility and quality make it a must-have for all types of photographers and videographers, including portrait, street, landscape, night-sky, commercial, and wedding.
