Redefined Autofocus
Rather than moving one large group of lens elements back and forth, the Nikon NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.2 S Lens multi-focus system moves two smaller groups half the distance. And rather than using a single powerful—but noisy and battery-draining—ultrasonic motor, the Nikon NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.2 S Lens uses two smaller energy-efficient STM stepping motors to provide faster, quieter, more precise AF operation—a first for an f/1.2 lens.
