ONLINE SHOPS Nikon 50mm f/1.4G SIC SW Prime AF-S Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Review Read More reviews from Amazon Buyer: http://www.amzn.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B001GCVA0U/3h0b-20 This lens is very well-made and takes wonderful pictures. To address the most common questions people ask before they take the plunge:Price: No. it's not usually this expensive. I paid around $400 for mine. but I got it a couple of months ago. Apparently Nikon is having a hard time making enough of these. Rather than rewarding the greedy opportunists who are now charging exorbitant prices for this lens. I suggest calling local and smaller camera shops - they are much more likely to have one sitting on the shelves. It's absolutely worth about $500. but I wouldn't pay more than that. The Sigma (very similar. see below) is a better value at that point.Image quality: Great. Slightly soft and glowy at 1.4. but that's to be expected. Gets quite sharp at 2.8. The Sigma is even softer at 1.4 than this lens. so if wide-open sharpness is important to you. this is your lens.Bokeh: Nice. but a little jittery at 1.4 on specular highlights. This means that if you have any light sources or sharp point reflections in the out-of-focus area behind your subject. you will see little light rings around the round blob. These disappear at f2. and they don't really bother me. They are a side effect of correcting spherical aberration in the image - lens manufacturers have to make tough choices sometimes. and Nikon apparently chose wide-open image correction over the absolute best bokeh possible in this circumstance. Compared to other lenses: not quite as nice as the Sigma 50/1.4 wide ... nikon 50mm f/1.8g nikon 50mm f/1.8d af nikkor lens nikon 50mm f/1.8g af-s nikkor fx lens nikon 50mm f/1.4g nikon 50mm f/1.4 nikon 50mm f/1.2 nikon 50mm f/1.4d nikon 50mm f/1.8d af nikkor lens review nikon 50mm f/1.8g af-s nikkor nikon 50mm f/1.8g review nikon 50mm f 1.8g nikon 50mm f 1.4 nikon 50mm f 1.8 nikon 50mm f 1.8g af-s nikkor fx lens for nikon di nikon 50mm f 1.8d nikon 50mm f 1.4g nikon 50mm f 1.8g af-s nikon 50mm f 1.8d af nikkor lens for nikon digital nikon 50mm f 1.8d af nikkor lens nikon 50mm f 1.2 nikon 50mm f/1.8d af nikkor lens nikon 50mm f/1.8g af-s nikkor fx lens for nikon di nikon 50mm f/1.8 nikon 50mm f/1.4 nikon 50mm f/1.8g af-s nikkor fx lens nikon 50mm f/1.8g af-s nikkor lens nikon 50mm f/1.4g nikon 50mm f/1.8d af nikkor lens for nikon digital nikon 50mm f/1.8 g nikon 50mm f/1.8g af-s nikkor nikon 50mm f/1.8d af nikkor lens nikon 50mm f/1.8g nikon 50mm f/1.8g af-s nikon 50mm f/1.8d nikon 50mm f/1.8d af nikon 50mm f/1.4g nikon 50mm f/1.8d af nikkor lens for nikon digital nikon 50mm f/1.8g af-s nikkor fx lens for nikon di nikon 50mm f/1.8g af-s nikkor fx lens nikon 50mm f/1.2 nikon af nikkor 50 mm f/1.8d nikon 50mm f/1.8d af nikkor nikon 50mm f 1.8d af nikkor lens nikon 50mm f 1.2 nikon 50mm f 1.4d af nikon 50mm f 1.4 lens nikon 50mm f 1.8g nikon 50mm f 1.4g nikon 50mm f 1.2 review nikon 50mm f 1.4 vs 1.8 nikon 50mm f 1.8 ai lens used nikon 50mm f 1.8g review nikon 50mm f 1.8 dx nikon 50mm f 1.8d af photos nikon 50mm f 1.8 series e lens nikon 50mm f 1.8d nikkor af lens review nikon 50mm f1.4 af-d vs 50mm f1.4 af-s nikon 50mm f1.4g price nikon 50mm f1.8d vs nikon 50mm f1.8g nikon 50mm f1.4d review nikon 50mm f1.8d review nikon 50mm f1.8g special edition nikon 50mm f1.4 ais nikon 50mm f1.4 vs sigma 50mm f1.4 nikon 50mm f1.4g vs f1.4d nikon 50mm f1.8g lens nikon 50mm f1.4 af d rebuild Disclaimer: The owner of this page is a participation in the amazon service LLC associates programs an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to amazon. this content is provided as is and is subject to change or removal at any time.
