The pictures below illustrate the angles of view on FX (35mm full frame) and DX camera bodies:

Extremely even image quality across the frame; even on FX; Improved image quality over 50mm F1.4D at large apertures; Exceptional image quality when stopped down; Essentially no lateral chromatic aberration; Near-silent AF-S focus with full-time manual override

Slightly soft at large apertures; Somewhat susceptible to flare; Longitudinal (bokeh) chromatic aberration; most visible at large apertures; Vignetting at large apertures on full frame (essentially disappears by F2.8; Slower autofocus than the screw-drive AF-Nikkor 50mm F1.4D

The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.4G Lens is a step up from the f/1.8 version offering both a higher aperture and better build quality. This 'G' series lens means that the AF motor is built into the lens itself and is therefore compatible with entry level Nikon DSLRs.

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.

More like an iPhone 13S. The generational upgrades for the iPhone 14 are limited to a few subtle changes. At the same time, however, the base price climbs to 800 USD, while the only true innovation happens inside the iPhone 14 Pro series.

excellent OLED display, dust- and waterproof, fast Wi-Fi, wide range of supported frequencies, great camera, very fast performance, good battery life

display limited to 60 Hz, charging rate limited to 20 watts, no macro lens, wide notch

Zoom lenses are all very well, but while they're certainly sharp enough, they lack the distortion and aberration control found in older prime lenses. More than that, though, they have much smaller maximum apertures.

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!

Pass on this 50mm. There are better/smarter choices.

Good optics; well built

Not class leading yet priced that way; slow AF-S

I started with the 35mm 1.8, but kept looking at the 85mm 1.4. During the search I discovered the 50mm 1.4. Since I use a D7200, I decided that saving $1,000 and getting 70mm equivalent was close enough for now. After my first photo shoot I am very pleased with the compromise.

The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G ($484.95 direct) is the company's most recent standard-angle D-SLR lens. It offers improvements over previous versions, including improved coatings, and an internal focus motor, but it eliminates the aperture ring so you won't be able to use it on older manual focus...

Very good built quality and high end glass used. Not as sharp with wide open aperture but overall extremely well performing fast lens. Does not have VR so slow shutter speed may be an issue. Maximum bokeh is only achievable if used of FX camera's. Won't notice much of a difference in the DX range.
