Key Features
- Nikon F Mount/FX Format
- Aperture Range: f/1.8 to f/16
- One LD Element, Two Aspherical Elements
- eBAND and BBAR Coatings
Slightly wider than the venerable 50mm standard focal length, the Nikon F mount SP 45mm f/1.8 Di VC USD from Tamron presents a unique perspective and pairs it with a sophisticated optical layout and VC image stabilization for enhanced image quality. One Low Dispersion element and two aspherical elements help to control a variety of aberrations and distortions for consistent and even illumination and sharpness, as well as reduced color fringing, and eBAND and BBAR coatings work to suppress flare and ghosting for increased contrast and color fidelity.

Does it work well with the Nikon Z series?
Yes. This lens in the Nikon F mount works well when using the Nikon FTZ adapter. The lens needs to be on Firmware version 3 or later. This Firmware came out April 2020 and you should be good with all new lenses purchased now.

My use-case involves mounting this lens on late-model Nikon film cameras. I've already checked on compatibility with the models involved so no problem there. But many modern lenses seem to be optimized for digital sensors. Are there any issues with using this lens with film?
There are no specific issues when using a lens designed for a digital camera on a film camera.

How is the bokeh with this lens?
I couldn't ask for better. I never really understood the concept until I studied Vincent Versace's "All About Bokeh" on the Nikon USA Ambassador website.

question
Anyone using for video? D600 perhaps?
This lens is a great option for video shooters looking for better image quality than a standard 50mm f/1.8 lens. Its ring-type Ultrasonic Silent Drive (USD) motor provides fast, precise, and quiet autofocus performance that benefits both photo and video recording. The motor also enables full-time manual focus control without having to shift into a dedicated manual focus mode.

In the description for the Tap-In Console for the Nikon version of this lens (the SP 45mm f/1.8 Di VC USD) it states that "An initial firmware update performed by a Tamron service facility on these lenses is required to enable compatibility with Tamron's TAP-in Console.” How is that initial firmware update accomplished? I don’t want to purchase the lens then have to send it away again for the update.
The lens must be sent to Tamron, please click the link below;
