Nikon AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G Review
The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G is a fast-aperture standard-angle lens for Nikon D-SLRs. It's tack sharp, even at f/1.4, and earns our Editors' Choice award. The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G ($484.95 direct)($376.95 at Amazon) 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 35mm cameras. Full-frame Nikon shooters will appreciate its classic standard-angle field of view, and it works equally well as a short telephoto portrait lens when paired with an APS-C Nikon SLR. The lens is an excellent performer with sharpness that is excellent at f/1.4 and off the charts as you stop down, easily earning it our Editors' Choice award for standard-angle prime SLR lenses. Typically, 50mm lenses are rather compact when compared with wide-angle or telephoto SLR lenses, and this Nikkor lens is no exception. It measures just 2.1 by 2.9 inches (HD) and weighs a mere 9.9 ounces. A lens hood is included—it twists via a bayonet and adds some height to the le...
Pros:
- Extremely sharp
- Fast aperture
- Reasonable price tag
Cons:
- No aperture control ring
- No vibration reduction

Amazing Lens. Highly recommend for all folks who invest in a good NikonDSLR
Absolutely fantastic from every angle. A Must have portrait lens for DSLR enthusiasts. The bokeh is just tremendeus. This has now become my daily shoot lens for all sort of photographs. It is crisp and photos are super sharp. This lens also allows you to keep the camera in a case much smaller.

Nikon AF-S Nikkor 50mm f1.4G
Zoom lenses are all very well, but while they're certainly sharp enough, they lack the distortion and aberration control found in older prime lenses. More than that, though, they have much smaller maximum apertures.

Prisvärt allt-i-allo-objektiv
Ett så otroligt prisvärt objektiv som man verkligen kan använda till allt möjligt. Största bländaren ger ett otroligt fint kort skärpedjup men objektivet funkar lika bra med mindre bländaröppningar. Funkar finast till porträtt men jag har själv använt det till i stort sett allt.
Pros:
- Det är otroligt skarpa färger för att vara såpass "standard"
- mycket litet och smidigt
- extremt ljusstarkt
Cons:
- Autofokusen kunde kanske vart lite snabbare

This is the only prime lens I bought so far, and I'm very glad I got it. I highly recommend this investment. The lens kit at the same focal length looks so cheap compared to this one! I think I found my lens, and I will remove it from the body only when I REALLY NEED to.

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
