    Nikon 50mm f/1.4D AF Nikkor Lens: Review from dpreview.com
    Read the full Nikon 50mm f/1.4D AF Nikkor lens review at dpreview.com
    The AF-Nikkor 50mm 1:1.4D is Nikon's current version of their fast 'standard' prime lens, and while this specific model was introduced in 1995, the basic optical design dates back to the manual focus 50mm 1:1.4 AI of 1977. It features a traditional layout of 7 elements in 6 groups utilizing spherical surfaces only, which Nikon claims will deliver distortion-free images with superb resolution and colour accuracy, plus high contrast even at maximum aperture. The 50mm focal length classes it as a 'standard' lens on the FX format, with none of the 'perspective distortion' characteristic of wideangle or telephoto lenses, whilst on the vastly more popular and widespread DX format it behaves like a short telephoto, ideal for portraiture.

    "...It's solidly built and the manual aperture ring is a great addition if you use non-AF extension tubes for macro photography (which I sometimes do)...." Read more

    "...ramblings, let me simply say that I've found this to be an absolutely wonderful lens that has more than served my needs...." Read more

    "...You'll get very good to excellent center sharpness, corners will be acceptable, and you'll get nice bokeh while losing a good bit of the chromatic..." Read more

    "...Overall, this is the same excellent optic quality NIkon has built into every 50mm lens they've made, but the build quality itself is suspect...." Read more

    69 customers mention69 positive0 negative

    Customers are satisfied with the image quality of the lens. They mention that it is incredibly sharp, focusing quickly, and has beautifully smooth bokeh. They also say that it allows for wonderful portraiture and has amazing boken.

    "...I know I made a great choice. It's incredibly sharp, focuses quickly, and has beautifully smooth bokeh...." Read more

    "...Or? F 8. This will give you excellent corner sharpness at the expense of some center sharpness (which is still excellent) but no "bokeh"..." Read more

    "...I can take it anywhere. It is small. The pictures are beautiful, warm colors. There's something about it...." Read more

    "...In fact, it is sharper at every aperture than the chunky and pricey 17-35mm 2.8 I use for work every day.Why choose 1.4 over the 1.8?..." Read more

    45 customers mention39 positive6 negative

    Customers like the performance of the lens. For example, they say it works well in low light situations, the autofocus is fast, and the results are perfect. The lens is also sharp and helps create great low light photos. Customers also mention that it works fine in AF mode.

    "...Still quite usable. Kinda the reverse of f1.4 except now you're going for max depth of focus. F 16 -- not a working aperture imo...." Read more

    "...The lens essentially sees in the dark...." Read more

    "...for low light photography (concert, music performance) and the results are smashing...." Read more

    23 customers mention21 positive2 negative

    Customers find the depth of field of the lens excellent for shallow depth of Field pictures. They say it's perfect for candid shots and portraits, and the images it captures are simply amazing. The low aperture makes the shots look amazing, and it produces great mid range angle photos. Customers also say it is very clear and good to take short distance pictures.

    "...It's a perfect prime portrait lens for crop sensors. If I had one lens to take to a wedding, this would be it...." Read more

    "...BAM! If you're after max sharpness especially in the center with good depth of focus and some subject isolation (depending on focus distance) this..." Read more

    "...When everything is dialed-in, the images this lens captures are simply amazing...." Read more

    "...You just couldn't ask for a more versatile lens. It's also amazingly light, and it makes carrying the camera around all day so much easier..." Read more

    A Lens for Photographers
    I purchased this lens after trying out a 50mm f1.8G and being disappointed with it. I know... Different type of lens and different price point. But the reason I came to this lens rather than the 50mm 1.4G is a conclusion that I came to somewhere in-between those two purchases:Great lenses don't stop being great because the next thing comes out. It just means that the newer thing may possibly be better.Now I'm sure plenty can be argued about whether this is a "great lens" or not, but the simple point is that this lens, like the 35mm f2D, 85mm f1.4D, and plenty of other older lenses, has served countless photographers and produced countless amazing photos since its inception. The appearance of more capable lenses today doesn't mean that the 50mm 1.4D is suddenly incapable of creating great photos. And let's be honest... how many of us are actually taking photos that can even hold a candle to so many of those photos taken in decades past on all of that "inferior" equipment?I have a Nikon D810 (recently upgraded to full frame from my old D300), so as I build my FX lens collection, I've been facing some odd decisions. Given the fact that I can use these older lenses, I am not forced to default to the newer "G-Series" lenses where some others might unfortunately already have that decision made for them by virtue of the fact that their camera bodies cannot autofocus with older lenses.And while the newer lenses are largely superior in IQ as well as aperture in some cases, the ultimate question I have to ask myself is whether or not those advances are truly meaningful to me at my level. I can definitely tell you that I'm not a pixel-peeper (although even at 1:1, the 50mm 1.4D seems to perform just fine) and I believe that, in fact, technical aspects like that are probably the last thing to worry about behind lighting, composition, etc. And if I'm not really getting meaningful value (as a function of the limits of my own ability as a photographer) out of the newer lens, why spend the extra money to get it? By the time I get to a point where it might actually matter somehow, it's entirely possible that something even newer and better will be out as the endless march of technology continues.If you're still with me after my ramblings, let me simply say that I've found this to be an absolutely wonderful lens that has more than served my needs. While it's true that my camera may push the limits of this lens on a sheer technical level, my abilities as a photographer have not even begun to outgrow it. It may be different for some of you, but I'm more concerned about nailing a good composition and capturing the feel of scenes than I am about staring at photo comparisons to see which lens renders bokeh slightly better than another or which lens is sharper at the pixel level—things that I can assure you that nobody on the other side of the camera will ever care about or even notice.If you're one of the elite photographers for whom this lens will honestly be a limitation, you already know you don't want this. If you're an owner of a body for which this lens will not autofocus because of technical limitations, you should look elsewhere. But if you fall into the same category as me where you have a camera body that can use this lens, but you're still on the journey of learning the art of photography, I encourage you to save a little bit of cash and explore the possibilities of this lens. It will ultimately reward the trust you put in it when you do start taking some of those great photos, and you'll be reminded by the fact that you're doing it on equipment that many people will turn their nose up at as being somehow "obsolete" that the essence of your photography doesn't lie within the gear in your camera bag. It is within yourself, gained through experience, study, and hard work.

    Reviewed in France on April 2, 2015
    La réputation de cet ancêtre de chez Nikon n'est plus à faire, bien évidemment.
    La qualité d'image obtenue en portrait, le niveau de piqué de haute volée ainsi que le bokeh haut de gamme m'interdisent toute critique négative de cet objectif léger, solide et tellement doux et rapide à manier..
    l'ouverture est phénoménale et permet beaucoup de confort en basse lumière.
    Il est presque trop facile, avec lui, d'obtenir des clichés de toute beauté avec un minimum de connaissances en photo...surtout avec les boitiers modernes (ici avec le D7100 -ISO100 )
    J'en suis positivement enchanté. c'est un indispensable... sans réserve aucune.
