  • QuestionIs it worth it?? Why is this priced almost 3X more than the similar 1.8 version? I understand it’s a faster, sharper and better low light lens but is there really a noticeable difference making it worth the extra investment? I shoot with a D750.

    Asked by Chase.

    • Answer Yes, 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.

  • QuestionThe autofocus of this lens works with d5100?

    Asked by Marius.

    • Answer Quick 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! :-)

  • QuestionWill this work well with a Nikon D3400 that’s not a full frame camera? I need it for low light.

    Asked by Savannah.

    • Answer The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.4G lens is an amazing lens that will provide stunning images when used with the Nikon D3400 DSLR camera, however, the Nikon 50mm is an FX-format lens, so you will experience a 1.5 magnification crop when using it with any DX-format Nikon DSLR body. This AF-S NIKKOR 50mm is a great prime lens for any growing camera bag.

  • QuestionHas anyone noticited the lens making a knocking noise when it is focusing?

    Asked by LXR83.

    • Answer Verify that you are getting sharp results that are consistent with this lens. Since it is an extremely sharp lens, if you are hearing the knocking noise and aren't getting optimal results, you may want to consider contacting Nikon to verify that there is not any issue. You can find their contact info at NikonUSA.com.

  • QuestionI have a Nikon D3500 is this a good lens for a beginner Astrophotographer? I’m looking for a lens that won’t break the bank. I have very little light pollution here and will be making an attempt to capture the Milly Way core in July.

    Asked by Krissy.

    • Answer The fast f/1.4 maximum aperture makes this lens good for low-light photography, however the 50mm focal length when used on an APS-C crop sensor (Nikon DX) body, will make it hard to get astrophotography shots. Instead you should consider something like the Nikon AF-S Nikkor 20mm f/1.8G or a 14mm f/2.8 or better lens.

  • Questionis this compartible with the z50, or do i need a lens mount?

    Asked by NNND.

    • Answer In order to use Nikon's F-mount lenses on their Z-mount mirrorless cameras, you will need to purchase the FTZ or FTZ II adapter. The FTZ is better because it is a smaller design.

  • QuestionWill this lens work on a Nikon D7200? Thank you

    Asked by Jane.

    • Answer Yes, this lens will work on the Nikon D7200. Because the D7220 is an APS-C crop sensor (Nikon DX) camera, the equivalent angle of view would be like that of a 75mm lens on a full frame (Nikon FX) camera body.

  • QuestionIs the AF-S NIKKOR 50 mm f/1.4G compatible with the Nikon D3500?

  • QuestionI have a D5600, will the 50mm f/1.4 function as an automatic lens on this camera or not? Thank you!

    Asked by Jenny.

    • Answer Yes, this lens will be fully functional on a Nikon D5600. You can use autofocus with manual focus override by simply turning the focusing ring or switch the lens to fully manual focus.
