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 AF-S Nikkor 58mm f/1.4G is an intriguing lens. Look at its performance in MTF tests and it appears to be nothing special; indeed it doesn't obviously do any better than its much cheaper 50mm stablemate.
Pros:
- Produces lovely-looking images almost all the time
- Very low chromatic aberration
- Lower-than-usual vignetting
- Minimal coma
- Lovely bokeh
- Generally resistant to flare
- Relatively fast
- near-silent autofocus
- Decent construction but lightweight
Cons:
- Decidedly soft wide open
- especially on DX format cameras
- Relatively bulky (compared to Nikkor 50mm F1.4s
- Inconsistent autofocus
- Very expensive

Nikon AF-S Nikkor 58mm f/1.4G review
The AF-S Nikkor 58mm f/1.4G is an unusual lens, both in terms of its slightly eccentric focal length and its optical design philosophy. It's not especially sharp for a lens that's designed to be used at large apertures, but this is offset by the excellence of its images in almost every other respect. Its audience will naturally be limited by its sky-high price, but we suspect many owners will fall in love with the images it can create.
Pros:
- Low light photography, and selective focus shooting
Cons:
- FX photographers looking for a general purpose 'normal' prime - the 50mm f/1.4G is likely a better choice

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 AF-S Nikkor 58mm f/1.4G
The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 58mm f/1.4G is an eye-wateringly expensive standard prime lens that delivers very appealing image quality. The sharpness when shooting wide-open, even in the centre, isn't as good as we'd expected though, requiring you to stop-down to f/2.8 to obtain satisfactorily sharp...
