A Review of the Nikon NIKKOR Z MC 50mm f/2.8 Macro Lens

A good macro lens is one of the most versatile out there, offering you a window into the extraordinary world of the small all around us and doubling as a sharp portrait or all-around lens, depending on the focal length. One such lens is the Nikon NIKKOR Z MC 50mm f/2.8 Macro, and this excellent video review takes a look at the sort of performance and image quality you can expect from it in practice. 

Coming to you from Christopher Frost, this awesome video review takes a look at the Nikon NIKKOR Z MC 50mm f/2.8 Macro lens. As a 50mm lens with a 1:1 maximum magnification, the Z MC 50mm f/2.8 Macro is incredibly versatile. It features a rounded nine-blade diaphragm for smoother bokeh, fast and quiet autofocus system suitable for photos and video, electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism for better exposure control when shooting fast bursts, lens barrel indicator for magnification ratio, and fluorine protective coating on the front element. At $646, the Z MC 50mm f/2.8 looks like a relatively affordable option that can tackle anything from portraiture work to close-up detail shots, making it an intriguing choice for portraits, weddings, macro work, and more. Check out the video above for Frost's full thoughts on the lens.
