Review on πŸ“· Nikon AF FX NIKKOR 50mm F/1.4D DSLR Lens with Auto Focus for Nikon DSLR Cameras" - "Enhanced Nikon AF FX NIKKOR 50mm F/1.4D DSLR Lens with Auto Focus, Perfect for Nikon DSLR Cameras by Ahmad ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A good product, I advise you to try it.

For modern digital cameras (I have a D80), the aperture ring is completely useless - you can’t use it, the aperture is set through the camera. When buying, it is advisable to choose - all copies are different - I looked at 3, in the end I took the best one, although also with a little back focus. The outer lens is not recessed very much, so it is advisable to use a lens hood when shooting in sunny weather.

Pros
  • Light (it really helps to shoot indoors and at dusk handheld), allows you to achieve an ultra-small depth of field, quite beautiful and strong background blur - a huge scope for creativity :), much cheaper than AF-S, autofocus with a "screwdriver" is quite fast and accurate.
Cons
  • There is no internal focusing (when focusing, a part with a lens extends from the lens), which contributes to the penetration of dust; in addition, before putting it in the case, in order to push this part back, you must either aim at the oo or switch to manual mode and push it. The coolest (aka matrix or 3D) carcass exposure metering does not work (at first it let me down a lot; although the problem disappears if you shoot completely in manual mode)

perfectly draws a picture, the shortcomings are very relative, suitable for portrait and landscape. Sometimes an ND filter is needed, 52mm filters are relatively cheap. HA I happen, they are easily removed in Photoshop. I recommend
