[REVIEW-NIKKOR AF-S 50mm f1.4G lens]
This is a 50mm Nikkor prime lens with a maximum aperture of f1.4. Auto focussing is by Nikon's Silent Wave Motor and it works with the Nikon D40/60 range of cameras that are not fitted with in-body focus drives.
Pros:
- The sharpness, colour fidelity and contrast of this lens, and the complete absence of distortion, make it a perfect optic for portraits
- The closest focus distance is 0.45m, so it is not a macro lens, but the brilliance of the images means they can be cropped and enlarged without loss of detail
Cons:
- The auto focus seems, for want of a better word, languid
- It is always accurate and the mechanism is indeed silent, but the lens cruises, rather than snaps, into sharp focus

Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.4G Lens AF-S 50MM F/1.4G review
The Nikon 50mm ƒ/1.4G AF-S tested well in our labs, marred only by soft results with significant corner shading when set to its widest aperture. Set to ƒ/2 it makes a nice portrait lens - sharp center, soft corners - and by ƒ/2.8 it's a decently sharp lens across the image.

Lens Test: Nikon 50mm f/1.4G Nikkor AF-S
The newest version of Nikon's storied 50mm f/1.4 boasts a redesigned optical formula for more effective flare prevention. A 75mm equivalent on Nikon smaller-sensor DX bodies, this $500 (street) full-framer also has a circular-bladed aperture for smoother defocusing. HANDS ON

Nikon AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G Lens Review
Nikon AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G is the latest update to the venerable Nikkor 50mm f/1.4D. The Nikon communality has been expecting this lens for quite some time now, considering that the previous version of the lens was introduced in 1995 and has not seen any updates since then.

Nikon 50mm f/1.4G AF-S Lens
While I hope to create a full Nikon 50mm f/1.4G AF-S Lens, my first priority is to include results from this lens in the lens comparison tools available on the site. This page currently exists because it is required by the database and content management systems for me to post information and...

Overall, I think that the new 50mm f/1.4 AF-S is a great little lens, and I'm glad to see that the old AF-D model has finally been replaced. There's a lot to like about the new and improved lens – better image quality all around and lots of small improvements in the overall design.

Basic tools are a necessity in any field of work. Construction workers have circular saws. Painters have primer coats. Mechanics have socket sets. And good photographers have fast, sharp and ideally inexpensive lenses. These are tools good tradesmen require.
