Does anyone have the NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.2 S lens? If so do you use it often? I have a chance to trade for a new one.

If you would like to post, you'll need to register. Note that if you have a BCG store account, you'll need a new, separate account here (we keep the two sites separate for security purposes).
Seriously considering. The 85/1.2 took over for me and I hear the 50 is as good.
Both the 50 and 85 f/1.2 are daily drivers in studio. The 50/1.2 is on the Z9 80%
Both lenses are optically perfect and delicious. We became addicted to the 50/1.2. Even at f/8.
The transition from focus to out of focus is crazy. (Positive crazy)
Going out for a walk, Driving around to air out, etc. the 50/1.2 is the lens being picked.
Thank you for your replies!
Well its on its way. I have a Nikon Z 14-30mm f/4 S for landscape. Don't know if this will replace it.
I have the 50 f1.2S and now the 85 f1.2S and both are simply stunning lenses. Both are almost faultless as far as IQ is concerned.
I bought the 14-30, and changed it for the 14-24 (a year later on sale)
I wanted the tighter distortion correction the 14-24 has. And overall it produces better looking images.
What Lance said. I have the 50 f1.2. It is in a class of it own
you'll love it

yes and no, but mostly due to my normal subject matter and i have the 85 1.2 and i’ll opt for longer if i can manage. that said i love them both and am very looking forward to the 35 1.2
It can’t possibly replace your 14-30 - completely different beast
. You might prefer it though

The NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.2 S is a video creator's prime. Its exceptional image quality produces stunning 4K footage.
If I shoot musicians rehearsing, taking environmental portraits with both the Z 24-70 mm S and the Z 50mm 1.2 S, and later cull though the images randomly, the 50mm images will stand out.
I wish I could describe it, but somehow the evenness of performance across the field, the sharpness, contrast and lack of CA make It a very special lens.

I have a dozen or so older 50mm Nikkors from the Ais Noct to the Z f1.2.
I'm not a big fan of the 50mm lens but the new Z f1.2 has brought me back.
Its not a small lens but it has to be one of the best lenses Nikon has ever made.
Together with the 105 MC Z lens they are my favourite Z lenses ...
