Does Nikon make a pancake lens?
Best Nikon Pancake Lens As of 2021, Nikon doesn’t make one! If you absolutely must have a Nikon pancake lens, there’s the Yongnuo 40mm f/2.8, which is designed for the Nikon mount (fitting both full-frame, and APS-C sensor cameras at a 60mm equivalent focal length).
What is Nikon pancake lens?
This is Nikon’s best manual-focus 50mm f/1.8 lens of all time. Nicknamed “Pancake,” it has the same stellar mechanical and optical quality and 1.5 foot (0.45 meter) close-focus distance of earlier lenses, but in a much smaller and lighter package. This is the sharpest 50mm manual-focus lens you can get for your Nikon.
Is a pancake lens worth it?
A pancake lens often shoots good and even great images. But you can sometimes find better image quality in a larger, more expensive lens. And while pancake lenses are great, you shouldn’t fill your camera bag with only small lenses. Most pancake lenses are limited to wide to standard focal lengths.
What is a pancake zoom lens?

Can you shoot portrait with 50mm?
50mm lenses for portraiture are really good for anything as tight as the upper quarter of a person. Anything closer and you’ll end up distorting the subject. Additionally, you can focus on a subject very closely by using a variety of 50mm macro lenses.
Is the Nikon Z 50mm f / 1.8 a pancake lens?
The lens is fairly small and light in hand, but not to the same degree as other 50mm f/1.8 lenses on the market, some of which are borderline pancake lenses. It also is not quite Nikon’s lightest Z lens yet; the 35mm f/1.8 S lens weighs 370 g versus the 50mm’s 415.
Is there a Nikkor 50mm f / 1.8 manual focus lens?
The Nikkor Ai-S 50mm f/1.8 is the first manual focus Nikkor lens tested locally. A zillion of these lenses can be found for extremely low prices over at eBay and its genes are closely related to the current AF 50mm f/1.8 D so I thought it would be interesting to check it out.
What was the price of a Nikkor 50mm?
In 1985, the price of the 50mm f/1.8 E was $59.95. The Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 was $99.95. Adjusted for inflation, the prices would be $144.45 and $240.83, respectively. Being a budget offering is why “Nikkor” does not appear on the lens nameplate.
Is the Nikon Z 50mm f / 1.8 s weather sealed?
The lens mount of the Z 50mm f/1.8 S, at least, is made of metal – including four locking ears for a very secure attachment without any noticeable wobble. The lens is weather-sealed at the mount, and Nikon claims a “dust- and moisture-resistant lens barrel” as well. I used this lens in rainy and sandy conditions without any ill effects.
