    Outstanding in all aspects.

    Posted by Parrothouse Photography on April 10, 2016

    Superior light transmission, extraordinary sharpness, excellent contrasts this lens has every characteristic defined by Nikon. My go-to lens for a lot of the photography I do. Renders exquisite imagery when used with my D800. A bargain in its price class.

    Excellent Eveyday Walkaround Lens

    Posted by Davidmichael on July 14, 2015

    Ever since I purchased the 50mm f/1.4G, it has become my everyday lens for walking around. It is small and light so doesn´t weigh me down. I can get shallow depth of field to focus on the eyes of my subject sharp and crisp while letting the rest soften out of focus and the background smooth in bokeh. The autofocus isn´t as fast as the other Nikon primes I have, but it is fast enough that I use it photographing indoor sports using available light. I´ve had this lens for almost two years now and is one of my most heavily used lenses. I am pleased with the images the 50mm f/1.4G captures no matter what aperture I use because the results are clear.

    The clarity of this lens is breathtaking, the speed is nothing but mandatory. This lens has by far exceeded my expectations.

    Great Lens

    Beautiful booked, very fast lens. Except for the slight vignetting, this is a real performer. I think, an ED glass could have made this lens best in the lineup.

    Excellent and Bright Interior Lens

    Posted by Scripps23 on November 14, 2014

    I use the Nikon 50mm f/1.4 lens to photograph famous paintings around the world in dimly lit museums. This lens provides excellent resolution, even at f/1.4, with little distortion. Below is a photo of Vincent van Gogh´s ´´The Mulberry Tree´´ that hangs in the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena, California. I used a Nikon D700 camera body, a shutter speed of 1/200 of a second, an aperture of f/1.4, an ISO of 1000, Tungsten White Balance, and Center Weighted Metering.
