On DX it's my 'bread-and-butter' Queen. And in when flash is not a solution, it just make the difference between a blurred picture and a picture I can sell.
Pros:
- Sharp from f2.0 and it's a perfect allround lens in low-light situations
Cons:
- Ca can be a 'problem' at f1.4 its a litle soft

Nikon 50mm f/1.4G AF-S Nikkor review by photospots
A very sharp lens which is very sharp and creates great bokeh if you use it as a portrait lens or other places where bokeh is important. But you should consider buying the 50mm 1.8g which is cheaper, but has almost the same picture quality.
Pros:
- very sharp
- great bokeh
Cons:
- could have better autofocus speed

Nikkor AF-S 50mm f1.4G
The Nikkor AF-S 50mm f1.4G was announced in September 2008 as the company's flagship standard prime lens. It shares the same bright f1.4 aperture and standard focal length as the much older AF 50mm f1.4D, but features an SWM focusing motor, which means it'll autofocus quickly and quietly on all...

- Quiet and reliable AF operation
- Small and light
- Weather sealing at the lens-mount
Cons:
- Longitudinal CA can be outright nasty
- Coma shows in high-contrast situations
- Some nervousness in background Bokeh
- No image stabilization

Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.4G Lens AF-S 50MM F/1.4G review
Nikon's latest take on the classic "fast fifty" knocks it out of the park....

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...

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

A sharp, light weight lens which is great for portraits.
This is a prime lens with I bought to use in low light conditions and also for the shallow depth of field so the subject is in focus and the background is blurred. When using the shallow depth of field, I have found it useful to set the focus point manually ( check the camera manual for how to do...

Focus Issues
When focus is spot on, the photos come out fairly sharp with awsume bokeh. I've tested three copies from my current Nikon dealer and they all had the same problem: Focusing success rate is less than 40%.

Nikkor AF-S 50mm f/1.4 G - Review / Test Report
The Nikkor AF-S 50mm f/1.4 G is a very good lens that performes on a high level except for slightly soft borders and somewhat busy bokeh at wide open aperture. From f/2 onwards, the lens is able to deliver crisp images that do not leave much to desire.
