Description

The Nikon AF-S 50mm f/1.4G is a standard lens that's suitable for SLR cameras with a full-frame or APS-C sensor. You can use the lens for portrait, nature, and product photography. Thanks to the large maximum aperture of f/1.4, you can take photos with a bokeh effect. With the silent autofocus motor and the internal focus, your subject won't get scared by the sound or the motion of the lens. This ensures that birds and butterflies won't fly away as quickly while you take a photo. The lens has a coating, which reduces lens flare and enhances color and contrast.

take professional photos for an amateur price

• very good value for money
• autofocus with manual overruling of focus using focus ring
• no VR option

I already had a Nikon D60 with kit lens "18-55mm VR".
I bought the "Nikon AF-S 50mm f/1.4G" lens because it has a wider aperture. This results in a faster shutter speed and better results in poor lighting conditions.
This lens is ideal for portrait photography and photos with a shallow depth of field where the background is deliberately out of focus.

Highly recommended this lens. the 50mm 1.4G is easy to handle. Autofocus, but can always be overruled by hand so that you always remain in control. Even in moderate lighting conditions, you can still control your depth of field. Portrait photography is excellent with it. I am very satisfied with it!!

Bright Nikon at its best

• Bright
• Relatively cheap
• Decent speed (focus)
• Unusual angle of view (for DX camera)

The Nikon AF-S 50mm is a lens with top qualities. She may have a rather unusual angle of view for a DX-format camera, but she's top notch when it comes to performance! I use the lens in combination with the Nikon D90 body. I bought the lens mainly for sports purposes: handball in a hall. If you can stand next to the field, this is already a good entry-level lens. The only lens I would want in combination is the 85mm 1.8 (the 1.4 costs about three times as much).

The fact that this is a fixed focal length lens naturally means that you can't zoom and that takes some getting used to, but once you've found your place near the playing field, you can work with it enough to get top photos.

Add to this the fast and correct delivery of digicamshop and you know that you are just right.
