This 50mm prime lens is a great choice for Nikon users
The Nikon AF-S 50mm f/1.4G is a lightweight and affordable standard prime
Review of the Nikon 50mm f/1.4G lens
The AF-S Nikkor 50mm F1.4 G is Nikon's latest take on the classic 'standard lens' concept, and was introduced in September 2008. It's a replacement for the older AF-Nikkor 50mm F1.4D which we reviewed last year, with revised optics to better meet the demands of modern high-resolution full frame sensors. The optical formula is an updated version of the classic 'double Gauss' design, with an additional element placed towards the rear to give an 8 element, 7 group configuration. According to Nikon, this improves correction of off-axis aberrations, which promises better performance towards the edges of the frame particularly when using large apertures.
A wide-aperture 50mm lens is one of the most versatile prime lenses almost any photographer can use. If you are a Nikon shooter looking for such a lens for your work, check out this great review of the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.4G lens. Coming to you from Christopher Frost Photography, this excellent video review takes a look at the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.4G lens. A 50mm f/1.4 lens has a wide range of applications ranging from anything like portrait work (including shallow depth of field) to low-light events coverage.
The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G is a fast-aperture standard-angle lens for Nikon D-SLRs. It's tack sharp, even at f/1.4, and earns our Editors' Choice award.
