One of the best primes I have, the bokeh is pretty nice at 1.4. Special lens for portrait photography and in FF gets even better. Will be hard to focus with it, but once you get the trick, you will love it. It's expensive regarding 1.8f but worth the difference.

This is an in-depth review of one of my favorite prime lenses – the Nikon 50mm f/1.4G, which was announced back in September of 2008. For many years the focal length of 50mm lenses was considered a "standard" or "normal" focal length, because it closely resembles the perspective of the human eye.

Perfect all rounder that's sharp corner to corner from f1.4 up and perfect for portraits on a DX body. Just let down by it's pedestrian and sometimes hesitant auto focus and its plastic body which I'd thought ought to be better on a lens that costs the thick end of ￡300 However I'd rather have...

Slow Focus

Nikon was responsible for the first 50mm f/1.4 back in 1950, and has continued to produce amazing updates ever since... This version is no exception, with fantastic sharpness at the widest f/1.4 aperture, and the build quality, while mostly plastic, feels solid due to its compact size and weight...

Superb image

Nothing

This is an awesome little lens for the price. However, it's worth would massively depend on what you're buying it for. if like me you're using it on things like shooting wedding parties, then it is worth splasing out for the F1.4 G.

I used this for portraits and wedding pics. Works well with my D7200. You even get more zoom with the DX cameras. I would recommend this lens for anyone who wants to do outdoor portraits. Works fantastic with great detail and bokeh. The background blur is great for a detail subject.

I am so happy with this lens and i am so glad that i bought it. I have been wanting to buy this lens but its expensive but finally i did. The 1.4 f makes it the best to use indoor with minimal light. The photo quality is sharp and brighter. This has just become my favorite lens for portrait :)

An ideal portrait lens when used on a Nikon DX-format digital SLR, approximating the angle of view similar to that of a 75mm lens on a Nikon FX-format digital SLR or a 35mm film camera

OH MY LANTA! I love this lens! I have been doing photography for 2 years now and have slowly built on my collection of lenses. This lens, aside from the 85mm 1.8f is by far my favorite portrait lens. Really it is the most universal sense and it provides amazing quality pictures!
