Pros:
- Crisp Images
- Exceptional In Low Light
- Fast / accurate auto-focus
- Nice Bokeh

Flawed Genius
Perfect all rounder that's sharp corner to corner from f1.4 up and perfect for portraits on a DX body. Just let down by it's pedestrian and sometimes hesitant auto focus and its plastic body which I'd thought ought to be better on a lens that costs the thick end of £300 However I'd rather have...
Cons:
- Slow Focus

Solid Nifty Fifty
This is an awesome little lens for the price. However, it's worth would massively depend on what you're buying it for. if like me you're using it on things like shooting wedding parties, then it is worth splasing out for the F1.4 G.

Great Lense
I used this for portraits and wedding pics. Works well with my D7200. You even get more zoom with the DX cameras. I would recommend this lens for anyone who wants to do outdoor portraits. Works fantastic with great detail and bokeh. The background blur is great for a detail subject.

Best lens i have ever owned
I am so happy with this lens and i am so glad that i bought it. I have been wanting to buy this lens but its expensive but finally i did. The 1.4 f makes it the best to use indoor with minimal light. The photo quality is sharp and brighter. This has just become my favorite lens for portrait :)

A Classic Nikon Lens
I've been using Nikon equipment for over 50 years and the 50mm f/1.4 was my first lens. With the evolution to digital all of my lens are zooms. I bought this lens primarily for night street photography. It has proven to be everything I thought it would be and more.
Pros:
- Sharp Great low light performance Light weight Great price
Cons:
- Its a prime
- doesn't zoom

Having started with Nikon, then moving to Canon (full frame 5D) for a few years, and now back to Nikon again (D700), I have found the Nikon 50 1.4G AFS a nice change from the incredibly expensive L primes. I've owned the Canon 50 1.4 and the Canon 50 1.2 and I prefer this lens to those two.
Pros:
- Sharp wide open
- Not overly expensive
Cons:
- Some lateral CA
- May require AF adjustment
