Ideal for travel, event, environmental and general photography in a wide variety of conditions, with superb optical formula with an ultra-fast f/1.4 maximum aperture.
Ideal for travel, event, environmental and general photography in a wide variety of conditions, the new AF-S 50mm f/1.4 lens combines a superb optical formula with an ultra-fast f/1.4 maximum aperture, making it destined to become an instant classic in this digital age. This compact lens continues the tradition of NIKKOR precision optics to provide photographers with sharp, high-resolution images and the ability to focus as close as 1.5 feet for added versatility. The integration of an ultra-compact Silent Wave Motor ensures fast, whisper-quiet operation. The traditional 50mm lens has been a mainstay of photography for generations and deserves a place in every enthusiast and professional's camera system. Experienced photographers have always appreciated the incredible image fidelity and low-light ability that a precisely engineered 50mm lens can deliver. In addition, seasoned shooters often prefer the photographic discipline imposed by the use of prime lenses. Now, a new generation of photographers is discovering the freedom of capturing images that would be impossible with anything but an ultra-fast-aperture lens. Nikon's 75 years of high-performance optical experience and stringent quality standards have won the hearts of photographers around the world, as Nikon is also celebrating 45 million NIKKOR lenses produced. In fact, five million of these lenses were produced in the last year alone, further reinforcing our contemporary leadership in the digital SLR market. Thanks to the maximum aperture of f/1.4 and newly refined optical performance, the AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.4G teams perfectly with the low noise at high ISO sensitivity performance of Nikon D-SLRs such as the D3 and new D700 cameras. When used on a Nikon DX-format digital SLR camera, the new AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.4G provides an ideal portrait picture angle, approximating that of a 75mm lens in use on a FX-format D-SLR or 35mm SLR camera. A newly developed optical formula effectively corrects sagittal coma flare and coma aberration, delivering astonishing image quality and allowing more users to realize their creative vision with vivid clarity. Instances of lens flare and chromatic aberration are further suppressed through the use of Nikon's exclusive Super Integrated Coatings, which also help ensure vividly accurate color balance. The rounded diaphragm opening combined with the nine-blade aperture contributes to a substantially more natural appearance of out-of-focus background elements. |

from Buffalo, MN on 5/28/2009Used it mostly for portraits and outdoor shoots. Failed both tests of mine, i have high standards, this lens fails most if not close to all of my standards for lenses. However if you are wanting a lens that is light weight and takes horrible pictures, then this lens is for you. I would share an image with you to prove this lens is worth little to nothing, but it would make my professionalism look unprofessional.

from Corona, CA on 4/14/2009I bought this product for my wife at her request. [...] We [...] received it just in time for a trip to the wild animal park in San Diego, CA. It took the best photos of the butterfly exhibit and of my two little one.
from Teague,Texas on 4/13/2009I use the lense for just about anything close at hand. Great for indoor attractions with limited light that do not allow flashes. The best for dusk time to capture the natural light for more effect. Easy to use for family snapshots. The only thing I can say bad about it is the price, but in this case you truly get what you pay for, a top lenses.

from West Jordan on 4/13/2009I love the extreme shallow depth of field from shot at a 1.4, while still having complete sharpness on the subject.

from Detroit, MI on 2/20/2009I use this as a portable low light lens. Great image quality, fast/quiet AF. The price for such a lens is a bit much so hard to recommend over the much cheaper 50 f1.8 or f1.4D.
