Customers are saying

Customers admire the AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.4G Standard Lens for its exceptional image quality, pleasing bokeh, and impressive low light performance. Many users find it easy to use and appreciate its depth of field capabilities, making it suitable for portrait photography. However, some customers have noted occasional focus issues, and a few feel the price difference compared to the 1.8 version is a concern.

    I bought this lens for the Nikon D810 and it is perfect. The sharpness is really evident with the high resolution files.

    Upgraded from the f1.8G. This is my go to for general use photography. Light but doesn’t feel cheap. Quick focus.

    I bought this lens to go along with my D610 and I'm wondering if I would've been better off with the Sigma alternative. This is a great lens - the bokeh is absolutely dreamy and the color quality is great - my only concern is with the sharpness. My pictures seem to come out a little too soft sometimes, no matter the camera settings. Plus the "auto" part of the autofocus feature doesnt focus very well if its something further away than the 50mm distance. I usually have to switch into manual focus to get the shot. Overall, I am happy with this lens which is why I gave it 4 stars, but I do wish I had rented both this and the Sigma to compare before purchasing. Just a thought for those of you considering this lens.

    This is truly a Versital lens, capable of many shots in a short period of time. Very fast aperture makes it fun to capture all your moments.
