Part of Sirui Sniper 56mm f/1.2 Lens for Nikon Z - Silveris an ultra-fast prime lens with shallow depth of field and high-quality bokeh that produces sharp, in-focus imagery with clear subject isolation. The quick and accurate autofocus supports eye and object tracking even when the subject is in motion, benefiting photographers and videographers alike. The STM motor ensures a quiet autofocus experience with minimal focus breathing, another crucial benefit for videographers. Formatted for cameras with APS-C-size sensors, the 85mm full-frame equivalence is appropriate for portrait photography, close-ups, and capturing distant subjects with blurred backgrounds. The lens features extra-low dispersion and high refractive elements that contribute to the unit's reduced size while enhancing optical performance and minimizing flare and ghosting. The 11-blade aperture diaphragm design contributes to the lens's soft, appealing bokeh.

Related Questions and Answers

A: Any lens can be used on the 40mp cameras. This 56mm F1.2 APD is just not able to provide maximum resolution for the 40mp cameras which will be a subjective judgement depending on the user.

Q: 2. Is this made in Japan?

A: The following unit is made in Thailand.

Q: 3. How do you adjust the programable control ring?

A: The programmable control ring on the Nikon NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.2 S Lens needs to be set from the camera itself. In the custom control settings of the camera you can set the function of the control ring.

Q: 4. Is that a USB-C connection I see?

Q: 6. Hi, is the body made of plastic or metal?

A: The barrel on the Viltrox AF 56mm f/1.7 XF Lens (FUJIFILM X) is made of metal.

Q: 7. How does the 1.2 measure up for landscape shots?

Q: 8. The X-Pro1 is not listed as compatible. Do you know what compatibility problems if used with the X-Pro 1?

A: According to the manufacturer, the FUJIFILM X-Pro1 Mirrorless Digital Camera (BH #AESP13AE0UC) is compatible with the Viltrox AF 56mm f/1.7 XF Lens (FUJIFILM X).

Q: 9. How can a 6" long lens be considered a 50mm lens? Must be some wild internal optics.

A: the main reason for Nikon NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.2 S Lens has size and weight is the 1.2 aperture and the Multi-focus system which incorporats two separate AF drive units.

Q: 10. Does the Aperture ring lock, or at least have hard stops that won't easily get knocked off setting?

A: The FUJIFILM XF 56mm f/1.2 R WR Lens does have an aperture ring lock so it won't change on its own.

[f/16] Great results for both photo and video. Even wide open the lens acceptably sharp for photos. For video the results wide open are excellent. 5

[APS-C] I think this is a really great value lens that produces incredible results. It is very sharp wide open and offers excellent subject separation with great background blur. Well worth the money. 5

[58 mm (Front)] This is my favorite Focal Lens for Portrait (85 mm equivalent for Full Frame). For the Price.. you can't go wrong with this Lens. Sharp and the auto focus is almost as good as the major brand lens that cost twice as much. 5

[Nikon Z] I bought this to compliment my 18mm and 33mm lenses. I am not disappointed. The photo quality is great, sharp from edge to edge and beautiful color. Built quality is very nice as would be expected from Fuji. This is a nice addition to my X-T4. 5

[f/16] Coming from the RF system, I know my standard for lenses is pretty high, and this one delivers. Great focus, sharp wide open, good bokeh, and nice close focus. Weather resistance gives confidence. I've been using this for portraits and loving it on the xh2s. 5

[58 mm (Front)] I purchased this lens with hesitation. I watched many youTube videos about the lens and how it performs with Fujifilm X-series cameras. Most of the reviews were just above average. However, when I put this lens on my X-T3, I got outstanding picture quality. The lens is light and will not weigh you down when using for long periods of time. I plan to use this as one of my lens for a wedding I will photograph in a few months. 5

[APS-C] This is not a good lens for the price... This is a good lens period. Light, small, portable... and most important of all... excellent optics. My personal sweet spot is F3 on this lens, but after taking several pictures, I have found that even wide open the lens takes very decent pictures with great color and detail. This lens is comparable to the Fuji XC line of lenses. it doesn't have an aperture ring, it is made of plastic but the optics were not sacrificed in any way. This lens is an absolute no-brainer. The value I got from this lens far surpasses its asking price. It is almost too good to be true. Seriously... thank you Viltrox!!!!! 5

[58 mm (Front)] Very impressed by this lens at this price. Shipped quickly, great packing, works great! Needed better wide angle, now, I have it! 5

Justin	24/07/2024
[58 mm (Front)] I have a Nikon Z30 and originally just the kit lens. I wanted something with a lower F-stop and autofocus so I could get more of that “cinematic” (trigger word I know) look to my shots. Primarily I film Tiktoks/Reels for some short form music content for myself. I didn’t want to spent a ton of money and didn’t know where to start and lucky for me I found this lens. I’m very much an amateur and have no idea what I’m doing but if you’re here looking to get something more out of your shots I highly recommend this lens. BUT, before you doing anything at all lens wise GET LIGHTS. Cheap ones are fine I spent $80 on 2 lights and it changed everything. Then after that, if you still feel like you need somewhere to start like me, and on a budget, then this is the product. 5

[APS-C] I bought this lens for my Z50 Nikon , I own the Viltrox 20mm 2.8 lens for my Nikon Z5, I was impressed by the results and by the solid construction of this lens . This is why I bought the Viltrox 56 mm 1.7 for portraits and as short telephoto. This is a good quality lens , optically, build and cosmetically. Mechanically the 56 mm acuratally works well with the Z camera. This lens is nice and light , AF IS FAST AND ACCURATE, also very easily focuses manually ! 5
