Nikon has just released its first macro lenses for Z series cameras: the Nikon NIKKOR Z MC 105mm F/2.8 VR S and NIKKOR Z MC 50mm F/2.8. Both of these lenses feature a 1:1 reproduction ratio. Let’s take a closer look at them! Nikon continues to expand its NIKKOR Z lineup of lenses with two new macro lenses, and it seems like the company likes to release two lenses at a time. Indeed, earlier this year, Nikon released the NIKKOR Z 20mm F/1.8 S and NIKKOR Z 24-200mm F/4-6.3 VR, as well as the NIKKOR Z 70-200mm F/2.8 VR S and Nikon AF-S 120-300mm F/2.8E FL ED SR VR. These new lenses are of course natively compatible with Nikon Z cameras, including the Nikon Z 6II and Z 7II that now have RAW video output to Blackmagic Design Video Assist 12G external recorders, as well as the upcoming flagship Nikon Z 9 camera. Nikon NIKKOR Z MC 50mm F/2.8 Let’s start with the Nikon NIKKOR Z MC 50mm F/2.8, which has an external diameter of 74.5mm/2.9″ and a length of only 66mm/2.6″. This lens is pretty lightweight at only 260g/9.2 oz, which makes it a nice addition to any kit without taking up too much space inside your bag. The Nikon NIKKOR Z MC 50mm F/2.8 covers full-frame sensors (FX), so it is also compatible with cropped sensors (DX). The lens sports a 1:1 reproduction ratio, with a minimum focusing distance of only 16cm/6.3″. Image credit: Nikon As you can...
