I'm shooting the Nikkor 50mm f/1.2 S on a Z7, and it is not soft. As far as I remember there was one video that said so, but it may have been an issue with the respective copy or some other reason.

You're posting theoretical MTFs. Here's reality on the Nikon from Lenstips:







Here's the Sony 50mm f/1.2 for comparison.







Red dot is resolution in the center. 70-80 is appropriate for 36-45mp.

The curve on the Nikon is wrong, and as a result you're not getting what you should out of a $2,100 lens. Better off with the 50mm f/1.8 S to be honest and that lens is flat and dull.


Firstly, you cannot compare lenses across different systems.

Secondly, I always find Lenstips results a little suspect. They never seem to marry up with other well respected reviewers.

Thirdly, I own the both the 50 f1.8S and the 50 f1.2S and it is stunningly sharp wide open and at least as sharp as the 50 f1.8S. I mean, do you even have the lens or going off charts to support your agenda?

Fourthly, have a look at Ephotozine's results for the 50 f1.2S:

Fifthly, have a look at CameraLabs review:

Sixthly, you've registered on the 1st of April 2022 and have four posts all criticising a number of Nikon lenses.
