A: AnswerNo, this lens does not have built-in image stabilization.This question and answer was generated by AI based on customer and product data.- A: AnswerYes, there are noticeable differences between this Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.4G Standard lens and the AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G Standard lens. One difference is that the AF-S 50mm f/1.4 lens has a 9-blade diaphragm while the 50mm f/1.8 lens has a 7-blade diaphragm. This difference allows the AF-S 50mm f/1.4 lens to be remarkably fast and provide an incredibly smooth background blur. Additionally, the AF-S 50mm f/1.4 lens also has one more element and an extra lens group than the AF-S 50mm f/1.8 lens to provide astounding depth of field and amazing low light performance.

Q: QuestionThe autofocus of this lens works with d5100?(5 answers)
A: AnswerQuick answer: Yes. To help you know for the future: The D5000,5100,5200, 3000, 3100, 3200, etc... lines of camera have no internal lens motors, so they will not focus the non-AF-I/AF-S lenses. (Example I have an old Nikon AF 300mm f/2.8 that I just LOVE. All of my cameras have lens motors, so it will autofocus for me. My friend that I go out with to shoot sometimes has a Nikon D3200. Just like your D5100, there is no lens motor in it, so while she CAN use it, it operates as MANUAL focus only. (She can still take gorgeous photos with it though!) So - As general rules: * ANY lens that you see that has AF-S, AF-I, (Nikon) or HSM, (Sigma) or "internal silent focusing motor " (Tokina) should work just fine autofocusing on your camera. * Lenses that are made for "DX" cameras will provide the field of view listed. (18-55mm DX lens will look like 18-55mm) Lenses made for FX or Full-Frame or "35mm FILM" cameras will have their advertised field of view multiplied by a crop-factor of 1.5. (Nikon AF-S 50mm lens will look like 75mm on your camera.) the NON-DX 35mm f/1.4 times 1.5 = 52.5mm, 200mm times 1.5 = 300mm, etc... This gets advantageous for you when you WANT to make far away things LOOK like they are closer. On my D700 & D800 (Excellent cameras!) my 600mm LOOKS like 600mm. But on my D300s or D7100 my 600mm LOOKS like what I would see with a 900mm on my D700 & D800! So for my bird photography, though I love the results I get from my full-frame cameras, unless I am reasonably sure that I am going to get close enough to all the birds I still use my D300s or D7100 so that the birds seem closer! :-)Answered by Knorris908

Worth every penny!
This is an amazing portrait lens. I'd buy this lens over and over again. 50mm is close to what the eye sees and the f/1.4 makes for some INCREDIBLE depth of field. Out of the box this lens feels totally solid, the autofocus is ridiculously quiet. Out of the 4 other lens' I have it's the fastest focusing. This is most definitely a portrait lens, but don't be afraid to use it for some landscape. That f/1.4 makes for some cool effects.

Must have for portraits
My wife and I were expecting a newborn so I got this for her birthday. The images are stunning for portraits even in low light. This is a must have for family portraits. I am a hobby photographer and don't have a lot of time to edit so I want pictures that look great off the camera.
