I like the focal length of 50mm a lot and since I have quite a few lenses covering this focal length I though it would be nice to see how the lenses perform in relation to each other and which aperture is the sweet spot in terms of sharpness.

Disclaimer: I'm not a professional lens tester! I do this for my own interest and fun. I also just have a single exemplar of each lens so please take this with a grain of salt.

Featured lenses:
* Nikon AF-S 50mm f/1.8 G
* Nikon AI-S 50mm f/1.2
* Nikon AF-S 58mm f/1.4 G (ok, this is not a true 50mm, but well...)
* Nikon Nikkor Z 50mm f/1.8 S
* Nikon Nikkor Z 24-70 f/2.8 S

All attached to a Z7 on a sturdy tripod. I used pinpoint AF except for the 50mm 1.2 AI-S and the 58mm where I focused manually. The 58mm was a bit front focusing interestingly. 🤷‍♂️

Shooting distance was 110 cm because this is roughly the distance I use 50mm often for kind of half body shots.

I disabled the sharpening in LR (sliders to 0) and just adjusted the exposure a bit.
