Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 58mm f/1.4G Lens JAA136DA review
Overall, the Nikon 58mm ƒ/1.4G AF-S Nikkor is a bit of a strange beast. Compared to its 50mm cousins, the 58mm ƒ/1.4G lens is very large and very expensive. And despite the very high $1,700 price tag, we found the image quality results a bit disappointing for a lens at this price point.

Nikon 58mm f/1.4 G Review
This new 58mm f/1.4 G is one of Nikon's best 50mm-range lenses, but no better than the Nikon 50mm f/1.4 G for one-quarter the price. This 58mm is a poser lens, intended to fill a vacant price point at the top of Nikon's lens line.

The problem with the 58mm f/1.4G really boils down to something simple: price/performance ratio. At US$1700 for a "normal" lens, you expect something outstanding, well beyond what you can get from the much lower priced f/1.4 and f/1.8 50mm lenses that are ubiquitous in the F mount.

REVIEW: Nikon AF-S Nikkor 58mm f/1.4G Lens Review
This standard lens from Nikon costs around ￡1560 and sports a bright f/1.4 maximum aperture, silent focusing and nano-crystal coatings to help control ghosting and flare. The 58mm focal length is reminiscent of the old AI 'Noct' Nikkor that was designed specifically for shooting in low light with a...

Nikon 58mm f/1.4G AF-S Lens
While I hope to create a full Nikon 58mm f/1.4G AF-S Lens evaluation, my first priority is to include results from this lens in the lens comparison tools. This page currently exists because it is required by the database and content management systems for the posting of those standard test results.

Nikon Nikkor AF-S 58 mm f/1.4G
A bit strange successor it is as the difference in aperture fastness is really conspicuous. Still there are some that claim that currently, with so high and still useful ISO values available in reflex cameras, the difference between f/1.4 and f/1.2 can be negligible.
Pros:
- high image quality in the frame centre from f/2.8
- very good control of the lateral chromatic aberration
- not bothersome distortion
- very good coma correction in the corners of APS-C/DX
- nice blur images
- moderate vignetting
- sensible work against bright light
Cons:
- too much plastics in the casing for a top-of-the-range 50 mm device which is supposed to be a successor of the Noct-Nikkor
- weak image quality in the frame centre near the maximum relative aperture
- very weak image quality on the edge of the frame
- longitudinal chromatic aberration could have been...

Go beyond the ordinary with the AF-S NIKKOR 58mm f/1.4G, a lens designed to excel in low-light and nighttime applications but with characteristics you'll enjoy for so much more. Its fast f/1.4 maximum aperture produces outstanding evenly lit images with edge-to-edge sharpness-virtually no sagittal...

Nikon AF-S Nikkor 58mm f/1.4G
The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 58mm f/1.4G ($1,699.95) is a modern update on the classic Noct-Nikkor 58mm f/1.2 manual focus lens. Like the older lens, it's designed with a specialized purpose in mind: to minimize sagittal coma (illustrated below).
Pros:
- Design minimizes sagittal coma
- Even illumination across the frame
- Capable of a very shallow depth of field
Cons:
- Not that sharp at wider apertures
- Some barrel distortion
- No optical stabilization
- Expensive
