Nikon Nikkor - 18.50 mm - f/1.8 - Fixed Focal Length Lens for Nikon 1

Product Description

Greater capabilities, new inspiration.

So many spectacular views appear when the light is fading-dramatic sunsets, the final inning of play, an evening stroll in the city or a warm moment around a campfire. The 1 NIKKOR 18.5mm f/1.8 lets you capture those low-light moments exactly as you see them. Its ultra-wide f/1.8 aperture delivers remarkably bright photos and videos with beautifully blurred backgrounds (what the pros call bokeh) and its 18.5mm fixed focal length (equivalent to a 50mm lens in 35mm format) mimics what we see with our eyes. From casual snapshots to creative close-ups, every image will be true to your memory of the moment.

Master low light and depth of field
Fast f/1.8 maximum aperture

The speed of a lens describes its maximum aperture-the larger the aperture, the more light it lets in and, therefore, the faster the lens. With a maximum aperture of f/1.8, the 1 NIKKOR 18.5mm f/1.8 is a very fast lens. This speed opens up new opportunities for low-light and high-speed shooting so you can capture brilliant shots while the light is waning. But that's not all. When shooting at f/1.8, your photos and videos have extremely shallow depth of field-your subject will be in perfect focus, but its background will be softly blurred. Use that effect to create flattering portraits, to draw attention to a particular area in your shots and much more.
