Nikon Z 50mm F1.2 S sample gallery

Over the past few weeks, we've been using the Nikkor Z 50mm F1.2 lens around Seattle and Packwood, Washington to see how Nikon's fast prime performs. For all of the shots, including those captured inside the Museum of Flight in Seattle, the lens was attached to a Nikon Z9.
