Type of review

A week ago I decided to get this lens. It is mounted on a full frame Nikon D700 that I use. Paid for with one's spirit. When shooting with this bundle, it is a great pleasure since it is light and it does not occasionally attract attention that is not essential. Incredible crispness can be seen everywhere. All of the matrix's pixels are rendered in detail while using RAW. The colors are rendered really accurately. Because I have a 24-70 f/2.8 lens, I have something to use as a standard of…

Pros
  • Aperture. Incredible sharpness between the apertures of 2.8 and 8, and adequate sharpness at all other aperture settings. Appropriate cost (a similar lens from Sigma is more expensive). The existence of a motor in the vehicle. Boke.
Cons
  • Autofocus that is relatively slow. Under some lighting situations, there may be some HA. AND EVERYTHING!

A good and high-quality product, but there are disadvantages.

Of course, it is not a wide-angle lens, but these criticisms are more pedantic given that the focal length of the camera is 50mm. Again, I was aware of what I was purchasing, but I think it is important to point out that there is not a stub on it. Of course, in the majority of instances, it will not be required on it; however, the fact remains that you will mess up ten out of every five hundred photographs due to the absence of a stub. The work is precise and has depth. I put in a lot of effort

Pros
  • It goes without saying that this lens' aperture is its primary strength; as a consequence, you won't need to use the flash, and the resulting photographs will be significantly more engaging. Lightweight, which is another essential feature. Beautiful bokeh. Superb color rendering.
Cons
  • AF is not tenacious and quite slow, it loses opportunities rather frequently, and its rationale is absolutely incomprehensible. When I looked at the photo on my laptop after the incident, I noticed that it captured something very different from what would have been hooked inadvertently. While this is happening, neither the front nor the rear concentration is healthy.

Well done, but I wont buy any more.

Now that I've had my first fix, it's time for me to write a short review about it. For a considerable amount of time, I debated between the 50 mm 1.8 and the 1.4. I decided to get 1.8 after taking a few test photos with it. The picture quality was not to my liking. Greases. Inaccurate focus. It would appear that the lens also needs some sort of correction. It was determined that we would replace the lens with a 1.4. Nevertheless, in order to indulge in this luxury—which required an additional…

Pros
  • Sharpness, aperture, the possibility to use it on cropped as well as full-frame cameras, and stunning bokeh are all features of this lens.
Cons
  • The cost, the requirement for modification when used with cropped cameras, and the poor performance while shooting in green mode (just opens the entire aperture on the D3100)

A great option for this money, I definitely recommend it!

Go along, you newcomers. It is not necessary for you to post evaluations if you do not comprehend the reason behind why you require such glass. I noticed here that someone mentioned that the aperture ratio is subpar, which makes sense given how unclear the picture is. Yeah, he possesses a depth of field of millimeters; hence, he referred to the blur zone as the soap zone. Just putting on the poker face. There were a total of four fifty dollars: this one, 1.4d, 1.8d, and 1.8g. Take 1.8g with you

Pros
  • Contrast, color, plastic, and picture all come to mind.
Cons
  • They are not, that is correct. However, the fact that the focusing accuracy starts to shift when the aperture is closed is a design feature that is present in EVERY optical device. This may be an annoyance to some users.

Overall good, but expected more.

I bought it to replace a sigma that was very similar to it (you can read my review of it here). I came to the conclusion that I required a fifty dollar lens that was lighter, more compact, and had a resolution that was more consistent across the field. I shot some photos, and the following are some thoughts I have after comparing Nikon and Sigma on the D800: When there is an open hole, the contrast is lower, but the edge resolution is higher. XA is noticably inferior since there are a greater…

Quality is top notch, happy with everything.

Has pros: Aperture, bokeh, color reproduction, almost no XA, normal work on mine from f1.8 (I think this is very good) Got cons: Lack of VR (noticeable after using zooms with VR, VR2) shooting at f-1,4 is a big problem, autofocus is slightly slow (but I think it’s not scary for a portrait lens)

The quality is at the level, I am satisfied with everything.

Has some pros 1) on an open aperture, excellent bokeh. 2) 9 aperture blades 3) autofocus is very fast. 4) if an excellent staffer will run with his feet. Different cons: The price - 13 tyk is certainly a bit much, but if anything, he will perfectly cope with his task in full frame. Production China. Bland falls.

The right product for me, the price suited me.

In the store, make sure the emphasis is accurate! It's possible for the findings to vary depending on the carcass! As I printed off a copy on my Nikon D60, the head and waist pictures were sharply focused, and the full-length photographs had clear front focus throughout. Back focus was achieved by the same lens on the D7000 in both the head and waist pictures; however, in the full-length photos, it "flew" even further back, behind the subject. Fixable on the D7000 by changing the focus…

Pros
  • Only on cropped carcasses of the D60 and the D7000 did I shoot these. 1. Sharp even at f/1. 4. If yours is blurry, check to see if the focus is in the right place. The area that can be considered sharp on an open hole is extremely limited. 2. The design is very well done: the mount is made of iron, there is a rubber edging between the lens and the body of the camera to prevent dust and moisture from getting in, and the body does not creak. 3. The ability to focus in manual and semi-automatic modes, meaning that after the camera has focused automatically, you can manually adjust the focus to achieve the desired result. 4. It has a hood and a soft case included in the package. 5. Since the front frame of the lens does not rotate, utilizing a polarizer is made easier by this design feature. The sole drawback is that the lens block that controls the focus is not protected in any way, meaning that it is susceptible to collecting dust. Despite the fact that I have returned to my normal flying after two years of use. 6. Being focused results in a quieter environment. 7. Full frame, suitable for full frame cameras. 8. Suitable for use on smaller D40 and D60 carcasses in places where a screwdriver is not present. 9. There is very little distortion in the perspective, and there is no vignetting (on crop; I won't presume to judge how it looks in the full frame). Gluing panoramas together is a practical option.
Cons
  • 1. The rate of focusing. It is not necessary to move quickly in order to get a good portrait, but he does not have time for the children. Because the autofocus was so slow, I missed some interesting images. 2. Shoals that are in focus (both in front and in back focus). 3. Focusing once more: the lens is unable to focus on small free-standing objects (like a thin twig), particularly when those objects are the same color as the background; for example, the thin stem of a flower that is sitting on a windowsill against the background of foliage outside the window. The whale lens had no experience whatsoever with issues of this nature. Thus, fix your attention on things that contrast with one another, or on your hands. Using your hands to climb into an open hole is an extremely challenging endeavor. 4. Having a hint of yellow. 5. It produces a significant amount of HA in the bokeh and along the contours of light objects, particularly in open holes. This impact can be considerably mitigated, though, by selecting the light source appropriately. 6. Drawing (subjectively). One person's trash is another's treasure. When it comes to head portraits, I find that the transition from the sharply focused portion of the image to the out-of-focus portion is not handled well enough. There is not the same seamless "flow" as seen on Soviet lenses (on Tair-11, for example).

I'm completely satisfied with the product, it works.

I took it to replace the one that came with the whale, and the one that came with the whale is now stored away. The lens is of the highest quality. When attempting to take shots of the topic and the street. Everyone who is interested in fashionable bokeh should purchase it so that they may be satisfied that their money was not wasted. My sole request is that the production process use metal rather than plastic, and that the hood be made of metal. After the autofocus has been applied, the…

Pros
  • Bokeh, aperture, soft light on an open hole, bokeh, the hood does not rotate when focusing, bokeh, and yes, it is worth stating it three times since it is so important.
Cons
  • Notwithstanding the cost, which is especially surprising when one considers that the difference between this lens and one with an aperture ratio of 1.8 is roughly twice as much (!), I chose to purchase this one.

Practical product, nothing to complain about.

I purchased it in a Nikon store approximately five years ago at a space discount (for them) of approximately twelve thousand dollars. When the increase in the rate is taken into account, the price per unit is roughly equivalent to what it is now for 24–25 thousand (as it costs at a minimum on the Market). With all of its perks. Because of the camera's shallow depth of field, it enables photographers of skill to create photographs with a high degree of artistic expression. It is also good when…

Normal product, but wanted more for the money.

In point of fact, this lens was intended to be used as a fast lens (for those who aren't familiar with the term "fast lens," it refers to the ability to open the aperture wide and snap photos of a high-quality in a shorter amount of time while simultaneously lowering the iso value). Because of this, there will be no blurring in the images that are captured, and you will be able to take clear photographs without the need of a tripod even in dimly illuminated environments (making it excellent for

Pros
  • luminosity. color reproduction
Cons
  • autofocus in conjunction with depth of field wide open

Using the Nikon D7100 camera that I have been using for over two years, I have been utilizing the lens. It is recommended to use apertures between 4.0 and 8.0, even though the bokeh will not be as smooth as it was when using wider apertures. The lens is not terrible in general and produces a picture of a decent quality beginning at aperture 2.8. chromatic aberrations, as well as a small size and vignetting. Aperture 1.4 appears to be more of a marketing gimmick than a genuine need when viewed…

Pros
  • The size, the weight, the accessibility for photographers and novice photographers, the sharpness and aperture ratio (with reservations, in the comments), the diameter of 58 millimeters, and the low cost of the filters (if used).
Cons
  • despite the aperture, f-1.4 is only a chance for show because of the price when compared to 1.8 and the plastic case.

The best price for such a product, I will buy more!

Nice lens, no backlash and no squeaks, the motor allows you to use autofocus on budget carcasses. Mounted on a NIKON D5300, it works fast, takes beautiful pictures. Supplemented with a regular 18-55mm, but looks more solid. It was purchased at CSN for 30k in March 2022, the kit also comes with a hood and a fabric muzzle. Has some pros Aperture, as a result, the ability to reduce the depth of field, is very fast, the weight is invisible. It has its own focus motor. Its cons: not identified, but…

The best thing I've ever used, I recommend it to everyone!

I am completely satisfied! Opinions about sharpness here, I look, differ, but with f2.0 everything is chiki-farts. Under certain conditions (i. E. rarely) at 1.4 to 2 I happen to be XA. And let me remind you that it loses version D only in terms of AF speed, but in other parameters it’s better, who doesn’t believe, there is evidence =)) Different pros: Aperture)) Tenacious AF. Decent drawing And what's not typical is a decent price! The construct is awesome. Different cons: I thought AF would

Mediocre goods, most likely I will not use.

A good lens for portraits and other leisurely shooting, however, due to the outdated optical design, it seriously loses to more modern counterparts in quality. Aperture 1.4 is not working even on the Nikon D750 (24 MPix), so there is no point in overpaying for additional aperture. It is better to buy an analogue from Sigma or Tamron. Got pros: - Sharp from aperture 2.5 - Excellent bokeh - Beautiful three-dimensional picture - Pretty accurate autofocus - Lightweight and compact - Has moisture…

I definitely recommend buying, I didn't notice any disadvantages.

Excellent glass, from which my passion for photography began. I bought it as a portrait lens for a kit kit (D60+18-55VR). It behaves great, is not afraid of rain (the gum is only covered with salt, well, it is under the filter, of course). I recommend it to everyone who photographs people on the crop. Pros: 1. Aperture. 2. Sharpness. 3. Bokeh. 4. Minor HA. 5. Beautiful drawing. 6. Lightweight and compact. 7. Hood included. ) Some cons: 1. The speed and tenacity of focus can be better, but

Not a bad product, but you can find a better one.

You need to have such glass in your arsenal. But I wouldn't rely on him. I'll probably get rid of it, I'll take AF 1.8 With its pros. If the focus is exactly hit, then the picture is sharp as diarrhea. In the dark at D4 ISO 6400, you can forget about puff. Earn some money in CS and the picture will just download. And the color reproduction is true. In general, I recommend it for leisurely shooting. Has some cons D4 has a great advantage, rate of fire (11 fps)! But, with this 50 / 1.4, all the…

The product suited me, I will recommend it to my friends.

So it's time to write a small review about my first fix. So, initially I chose between 50 mm 1.8 and 1.4 for a long time. After a few test shots, I bought 1.8. I didn't like the picture quality. Greases. Inaccurate focus. The lens, apparently, also required adjustment. It was decided to exchange the lens for 1.4. Although, I had to pay extra for this pleasure (in exchange for a more expensive model) several thousand. (But it was not in vain. The quality of the picture and the 1.4 lens itself is

Pros
  • Sharpness, aperture, the ability to use on cropped and full-frame cameras, beautiful bokeh
Cons
  • Price, the need for adjustment when used with cropped cameras, does not shoot well in green mode (just opens the entire aperture on the D3100)

I am amazed at how well the product is made, just magically!

An excellent lens if used for its intended purpose (portrait, product photography, even landscape). It behaves very well on inexpensive cameras like D40x. Different pros: A very pleasant and high-quality image (a combination of sharpness over the entire area of ​​​​the frame, contrast, color and very pleasant bokeh). The appearance is very solid (but not tired) with a small weight and acceptable dimensions. Got cons: "Macro" at an average level (chromatic oberations are visible, a slight drop…

I like the product, the quality did not disappoint.

I bought it in a Nikon store about five years ago at a space (for them) discount for about 12 thousand. Taking into account the jump in the rate, it’s about the same as now for 24-25 thousand to take (as it costs at a minimum on the Market). With its pros. In skillful hands, it can take very artistic photos due to the shallow depth of field. It is also good with a clear lack of light (aperture 1.4 - more than almost any "zoom"). The picture is good, with the right focus, everything is sharp and
