AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G Lens
The compact size of this lens and its large maximum aperture make it ideal for travel, event and environmental photography and it also makes a great general-purpose lens when high-quality images are required.
Pros:
- You need a fast, standard prime lens and want excellent image quality plus value for money, You want a small, lightweight, well-built lens for general photography
- Don't buy this lens if, You want close-up versatility and performance, You require very high resolution at wide lens apertures

Nikon AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G review
The first thing to note is that the AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G must not be confused with the older 50mm f/1.4 'D' lens. The 'D' lens dates back to the days of Nikon film cameras and includes an aperture ring on the lens barrel.

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.

Pros:
- Extremely sharp
- Fast aperture
- Reasonable price tag
Cons:
- No aperture control ring

Good Portrait And Night Photography...
There are plenty of great, maybe better, lenses on the market. I chose the 50mm f/1.4D because for me, it is a versatile lens to an extent. It is a prime lens, therefore one cannot zoom in (for those of you not familiar or new to prime lenses.

You can't judge a book by its cover, but you can judge a lens system by the quality of its "fast fifty" prime lens. If your system's lens designers can't nail this one? Good luck producing top-notch lenses with more complex designs.
