Nikon NIKKOR Z MC 50mm f/2.8 Macro Lens
1:1 Life-Size Magnification
Set your sights on a world of the smallest details with the NIKKOR Z MC 50mm f/2.8 Lens from Nikon. Ideal for spontaneous snapshots, food photography, or exploring the minute details of everyday life, this normal-length macro lens offers a life-size 1:1 maximum magnification along with a minimum focusing distance of 6.3" to suit working with close-up subjects. The lens also doubles as an outstanding portrait lens. The combination of its shallow depth of field and life size magnification creates a unique, almost three-dimensional effect in your stills and videos.
Razor-Sharp Optics
  • Ideal for macro and portrait shooting, this lens offers a life-size 1:1 maximum magnification along with a 6.3" minimum focus distance to highlight the smallest textures, shapes, and details in a natural-looking 50mm perspective.
  • Excellent edge-to-edge sharpness and a rounded nine-blade diaphragm ensures beautiful bokeh and background blur to isolate the subject from the background.
  • ED and aspherical lens elements provide optimal correction of coma and chromatic aberration, and a fluorine coating reduces dirt, water, and smudges from sticking to the surface of the lens.
Advanced Autofocus
  • Fast, accurate, and virtually silent autofocus system with suppressed hunting and breathing. Includes focus limiter switch for even more speed and accuracy across a smaller distance range.
  • Electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism in the lens barrel provides highly accurate electronic diaphragm or aperture blade control when using auto exposure during continuous shooting.
  • Unique front-focusing design minimizes the size and weight of the lens for easy and comfortable carrying.
Sophisticated Lens Design
  • Normal-length prime designed for FX-format Nikon Z-mount cameras, however, can also be used with DX models where it provides a 75mm equivalent focal length.
  • Rounded nine-blade diaphragm provides beautiful bokeh and background blur to isolate subject from the background.
  • Lens barrel indicator for reproduction ratio and focus distance.
  • Large metal lens mount provides more light capture, sharper details, better colors, and less distortion. Compatible with ES-2 Film Digitizing Set, lets you turn your full-frame Z-series camera into a high-resolution film digitizer. Bring 35mm film negatives or slides back to life as stunning digital images. Separately purchased step-up ring required.

Chiaro Pro 46mm 98-UVATS UV Filter

The Pro 46mm 98-UVATS UV Filter is one of Chiaro’s highest-rated protective UV filters with 98% light transmission. It’s ideal for photographers of all levels who demand high-quality glass and other essential features for excellent image fidelity and construction.

To achieve 98% light transmission, Chiaro uses highly-polished optical glass, multi-coating, and additional advanced elements that improve the filter’s light transmission. A scratch-resistant coating minimizes scratching of the glass and helps assure that water, oil, dust, and fingerprints are removed with a gentle wipe. Its hard-anodized aluminum filter ring is designed to screw on and off effortlessly, and it is thin to prevent vignetting when used with wide-angle lenses. Side knurling helps assure that you’ll have a firm grip when attaching or removing your filter.

Image quality is what matters most at Chiaro. The company has tested and combined many features and essentials to achieve superior image quality and the highest light transmission. To help take the confusion out of selecting a filter, Chiaro prominently displays the light transmission levels so that you can choose the perfect filter for your lens and photo session.

98% Light Transmission
Protecting your lens doesn't mean you have to lose optical quality. By using highly-polished optical glass and advanced coatings, Chiaro offers a 98% transmission rate, which is an excellent transmission rate for glass. And the company verifies the ratings with ISO certified lab testing.
Resistance Coating
The layers of advanced resistance coating on the filter are designed to resist moderate scratches, and allow you to easily clean your filter. Water beads up and rolls off your filter, and oil and fingerprints can come off with a gentle wipe. Dust and debris won't adhere to the filter and can be removed with a puff of air.
Polished Optical Glass
Glass that's polished to perfection is essential to achieve a high level of light transmission. The optical glass in this Chiaro filter is highly-polished for flatness that ensures excellent optical clarity.
Multi-Coating
Multi-coating enhances light transmission to the demanding level set for all Chiaro filters. It reduces unwanted internal reflections and ghosting that can compromise your images.
UV Protection
The filter blocks UV light and reduces the bluish cast of daylight that can affect color accuracy, especially at higher altitudes.
Hard Anodized Aluminum Construction
The process of hard anodizing toughens and strengthens the aluminum for a lightweight yet durable filter ring.
Slim Design
Measuring only 3.2mm, this filter is slim enough to use on wide-angle lenses without experiencing vignetting.
Top and Side Knurling
In addition to top knurling, Chiaro added side knurling to better grip the filter when you're attaching and removing it, or when you're stacking filters.
Secure Attachment
It takes two full turns to mount the filter on your lens. This feature will securely hold your Chiaro filter through the most demanding photo shoots.
Front Threads
The front threads on the filter allow you to stack filters by screwing them onto your Chiaro filter.

Nikon NIKKOR Z MC 50mm f/2.8 Reviews

Wonderfully versatile lens!

I had the regular 50mm lens, which is fantastic, but I needed the qualities of a macro lens. I love this Nikkor MC 50mm. It is very lightweight and works perfectly for my food photography needs, and playing with spring flower photography!

It gets the shots!

I LOVE this lens, I'm used to shooting primarily with my 24-70 lens on my Z6 II for food photography, but there are some shots that lens just can't get - I like to get super close up to food sometimes and show off the texture and the yum factor. With this 50 macro I can! So now I never miss a shot I need!

Is the 100 macro or 50 macro z best for digitizing slides?
Asked by: Anonymous
The Nikon NIKKOR Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S Macro Lens (Nikon Z) would be better than the Nikon NIKKOR Z MC 50mm f/2.8 Macro Lens for digitizing slides--the 105mm lens has a flatter field than the 50mm lens, it has superior optical design, and it has built-in image stabilization, which the 50mm macro lens does not have.

Z30 with Z MC 50mm with ES-2 slide copier- Will the 1.5 crop factor apply?
Asked by: William
Unfortunately yes. Due to the crop factor in the Z30 a lot of the original slide would be cut off. It would be recommended to use a full frame camera instead or a film scanner such as this Plustek: https://bhpho.to/3RwIfIy
