    Not the best focus, would rather purchase a sigma or the 58 1.4 from Nikon! That one I love. Not Nikons best lens unfortunately if you're looking for a 50 in the same price range I'd go for the 50 1.8 from Nikon as a beginner upgrade.

    I know there's a 1.8f out there but don't settle for it. Take the extra step and go with the 1.4f I promise you won't regret it. After all you can still choose smaller apertures with this lens.

    Fast and sure. As with any prime lens, you need to have an eye for a good shot. If you have the lighting and an interesting subject, this lens will capture it in perfection.

    After months of research, I finally decided on this product from Best Buy. Why Best Buy, because there is found the "Best" price; and although the lens was not in the store, they were more than happy and took the time while I had them switch from screen to screen while I checked the specs vs the price. On top of that, they offered free shipping to my address of choice and it arrived on time. I was surprised that I didn't receive any member Points for the purchase; yet they still remain my "1st Stop 2 Shop" when it comes to my electronic and photography needs for my business.
