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...

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.

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%.

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

Pricey but worth it!

The Nikon 50mm 1.4 is a great lens. It's focus accuracy in very low light is unparalleled. It is razor sharp from F2 and up. At 1.4 the image are good but not super sharp like most 50mm prime lenses. There is a slight bit of distortion. The colour and contrast are also very good.

Amazing Lens

Great lens. If your just starting out as a photographer like myself, the bokeh is awesome with this. I used it on a D60, the bokeh was O.K., just turn it to landscape to get the f/1.4 and it was very good then...I put it onto my D3100 & it was the BEST! Right on auto it was f/1.4.
Pros:
  • Bokeh
  • Macro
  • Portraits
Cons:
  • Pricey
