Nice for nighttime street photography
I have found this lens to be the perfect companion for nighttime portraits of street people in Las Vegas. I use it with a D7100 and it gives me the perfect reach for finding subjects in the crowds of Fremont Street. This is the perfect FX lens to use on a DX body. It is clean, fast, and sure.

Excellent prime lens.
For beginners remember this is a prime lens so there is no zoom available. Have to move your feet to frame your shots. The upside to prime lens is that the image quality can't be beat.
Pros:
- Fast prime lens, general focal length good for lots of shooting scenarios
- Superb image quality
Cons:
- Really can't go wrong having this lens especially on full frame camera

A great Upgrade from a kit lens
My first new lens since I bought my camera (D7000 inc 18-105) works amazingly just what I wanted, took a while to get used to fixed focal length and the capability's of this lens but gets some amazing shots.

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...
Pros:
- The most affordable f1.4 prime from Nikon
- Great image quality on DX and FX bodies
- 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

I am very happy with my purchase.
Pros: Drawing Is An Excellent, Light intensity, Af Is Fast, The Focus Is On A Quiet, Excellent Pokeh, Focus Can Very Cons: Is Not A Macro Other thoughts: The lens is optically as good as new even though it is refurbished. The product was involved in UV filter and lens hood.

..don't expect sharpness wide open unless you plan very carefully. Beautiful transition from focused area outward- this lens' specialty. A lot of chromatic aberration remains @ f/ 1.4 in high contrast areas, necessitating correction in post if you suffer from pixel-peeperism.

Fabulous lens for the price
I am relatively new to the world of true photography, so the 50mm lens is taking a little getting used to. I tried working with it for kids photos, and have to figure out the "sweet spot." I have a D7000 body and am still learning that, too.
Pros:
- Good speed and clear images
Cons:
- Nothing

Awesome picture and built quality
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.

Nikon AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G
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...
