Great Lens - Worst Packing
Fellow Photography enthusiatist, The lens has f/1.4 which is amazing for low light pics... Take it to a beach / late night party... you will get amazing pic quality.... But beware of the package... I got the package in worst condition... Am rating it as 3 as normal because of the worst packing...

Best prime I've used for portrait photography
One of the best primes I have, the bokeh is pretty nice at 1.4. Special lens for portrait photography and in FF gets even better. Will be hard to focus with it, but once you get the trick, you will love it. It's expensive regarding 1.8f but worth the difference.

OH MY LANTA! I love this lens! I have been doing photography for 2 years now and have slowly built on my collection of lenses. This lens, aside from the 85mm 1.8f is by far my favorite portrait lens. Really it is the most universal sense and it provides amazing quality pictures!

Affordable compromise
I started with the 35mm 1.8, but kept looking at the 85mm 1.4. During the search I discovered the 50mm 1.4. Since I use a D7200, I decided that saving $1,000 and getting 70mm equivalent was close enough for now. After my first photo shoot I am very pleased with the compromise.

Nikkor AF-S 50mm f/1.4 G - Review / Test Report
The Nikkor AF-S 50mm f/1.4 G is a very good lens that performes on a high level except for slightly soft borders and somewhat busy bokeh at wide open aperture. From f/2 onwards, the lens is able to deliver crisp images that do not leave much to desire.

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%.

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...

This is a 50mm Nikkor prime lens with a maximum aperture of f1.4. Auto focusing is by Nikon's Silent Wave Motor and it works with the Nikon D40/60 range of cameras that are not fitted with in-body focus drives.

[REVIEW-NIKKOR AF-S 50mm f1.4G lens]
This is a 50mm Nikkor prime lens with a maximum aperture of f1.4. Auto focussing is by Nikon's Silent Wave Motor and it works with the Nikon D40/60 range of cameras that are not fitted with in-body focus drives.
Pros:
- The sharpness, colour fidelity and contrast of this lens, and the complete absence of distortion, make it a perfect optic for portraits
- The closest focus distance is 0.45m, so it is not a macro lens, but the brilliance of the images means they can be cropped and enlarged without loss of detail
Cons:
- The auto focus seems, for want of a better word, languid
- It is always accurate and the mechanism is indeed silent, but the lens cruises, rather than snaps, into sharp focus

Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.4G Lens AF-S 50MM F/1.4G review
The Nikon 50mm ƒ/1.4G AF-S tested well in our labs, marred only by soft results with significant corner shading when set to its widest aperture. Set to ƒ/2 it makes a nice portrait lens - sharp center, soft corners - and by ƒ/2.8 it's a decently sharp lens across the image.
