When I have a Nikon 85mm f/1.8G portrait lens, I almost always use the Nikon 50mm f/1.4G on the Nikon D7000 because it's lighter, has better focal length, and produces a sharper image with less chromatic aberration. It focuses slower than the Nikon 50mm f/1.4D, but the image quality is definitely better on the G version. I usually shoot waist length portraits with this lens and after trying many portrait lenses I find it to be the best choice for crop systems for this purpose for the money…

I bought it as the first glass for a full frame (D700). The lens pleased with the quality: the picture, all-weather capability, focusing speed, low weight and size - there were no analogues for the amount that it cost (lucky, I bought it at almost the purchase price). Quite often it smears, sometimes it seems even for no obvious reason on contrasting objects, and sometimes it pleases with a sharp shot "offhand". After using 85 1,4D and 85 1,8G, I was convinced that the halftone has a pleasant

Check for focus accuracy in the store! Different carcasses can have different results! My copy on the D60 was focused quite accurately in the head and waist portraits, and there was always front focus on full-length portraits. On the D7000, the same lens in the head and waist portraits produced back focus, and in the full-length portraits it “flyed” even further back, behind the subject. Cured on the D7000 by setting the focus correction to -20 (limit value). In general, if your hands grow…

The difference in image quality is visible to the naked eye, especially for beginner amateur photographers. Ideal for creative shooting and portraiture. Works great in low light and indoors. Good autofocus - fast and quiet. The accuracy is also good. Many complain about the plastic mount, but I got it with a metal mount - apparently it depends on the country of origin (Japan). If you are thinking whether it is worth taking it - do not think - DEFINITELY WORTH IT! Take it - you won't regret it!

I am writing from personal experience. 50mm 1.4G AF-S + D3100 - terrible. The lens never focuses, it misses all the time. I took it to Nikon and asked to do the adjustment along with the camera. They said there were no problems with the lens, the camera did something in words. As a result, the photo session on the weekend was a complete failure. Unfortunately, the D3100 does not have autofocus adjustment, but nevertheless I am very disappointed. Money down the drain.

Do not believe about the horrors of the front-back focus! At the minimum focusing distance, the depth of field at f / 1.4 is very small, taking into account shutter speed, shutter speed, focus type, subject dynamics, etc. ! But the manufacturers of equipment, of course, also contributed - the accuracy of determining the distance to the subject is directly proportional to the cost of the carcass! Of course, the D5 will hit the target more accurately than the D3100). ! Try to give more light, use

Not as fast and not as quiet as my 18-105 whale! There is a catastrophic lack of a stabilizer ! At a shutter speed of 1/60, it’s difficult to shoot, this is after my whale, where it was easy to shoot at 1/35. You need to learn how to shoot with this glass and you can get very tasty shots! By the way, today there was a glitch - auto focusing refused to work after working in manual mode - I took it off, put the lens in - everything worked . Then there were no glitches during the day.

I bought two lenses, one for the d60 and the other for the d7000. What is interesting is that on the d60 all instances were focused normally. On the d7000, all of these instances were in back focus. From which we can conclude that it is not the lenses but the camera that are probably to blame for the back and front focus. but everything was decided well, on the d7000 there is a focus correction in the menu. I really liked the spam lens, you can shoot in the dark with ISO 1600, no flash is…

Bought this lens a week ago. I use it on a full frame D700. Bought for the soul. Shooting with this bundle is a great pleasure, light and sometimes not attracting unnecessary attention. The sharpness is amazing. In RAW, all matrix pixels are clearly drawn. Color rendition is excellent. I have something to compare with - I have 24-70 f / 2.8. I will say the following about slow autofocus: "This is a fixed lens, not a reportage lens, focusing speed is not as important here as its accuracy." They…

Actually, this lens was taken as a fast lens (for those who don’t know what a fast lens is, it’s an opportunity to open the aperture wide and take a high-quality photo in a shorter period of time, while reducing the iso value. What this gives is that there is no blurring in the pictures, you can without tripod to shoot calmly in poorly lit places, ideal for shooting indoors .) (and a little more help for those who don’t know - the lower the aperture value - for example, in this case f / 1.4…

Newbies, move on. If you don’t understand why you need such glass, then you don’t need to write reviews. I read here as one wrote that the aperture ratio is mediocre, because the picture is muddy! Yes, he has a depth of field of millimeters, so he called the blur zone soap. Just a poker face. There were 4 fifty dollars: 1.4d, 1.8d, 1.8g and this one. If you need sharpness, take 1.8g, if you need a picture, then this one is a must. Just a masterpiece. I have never done such a three-dimensional…

For a long time I chose a replacement for whale glass 18-55, which did not satisfy in terms of sharpness. I settled on this model, which I did not like with a plastic construct, in the photo it looks like a real cheap thing. I went to the store, took it in my hands and all doubts disappeared. The plastic is very high quality and not easily soiled, the glass is assembled soundly.

Of course, not wide-angle, but these are more nit-picking, because after all 50mm. Again, I knew what I was buying, but it is worth noting the absence of a stub, of course, in most cases it will not be needed on it, but the fact remains that you will screw up 10 out of 500 photos precisely because of its absence. Works tight with depth. I worked very hard with the D3000, mutual understanding is seen on the D7000. Hood and case included. As a portrait photographer, it is gorgeous, especially…

typical Planar fifty dollars, pleases with the picture at all apertures, very sharp starting somewhere from f / 2.2, stable result in most shooting conditions, the design is convenient when removing / putting on the carcass, do not hook the control and the front lens, if you wind the filter, then a very good option for shooting in rainy / foggy weather + a bayonet skirt will save you from water. autofocus speed is highly dependent on the camera, the older the faster

The lens beats its money and nothing more. I took it because of aperture ratio and universal focal length. Now I would replace 50 mm with Zeiss instead. The worst thing about it is not even wild HA, but the fact that often in the open all the backlight turns into a white spot. 4 stars for price and availability, but for good, an honest C grade. Although, perhaps, just my copy is not the best

I have been using the lens for more than two years on the Nikon D7100 camera. In general, the lens is not bad, a fairly high-quality picture starting from aperture 2.8, but it is better to use 4.0-8.0, although the bokeh will no longer be the same as on a more open one. Small and vignetting with chromatic aberrations. Objectively, aperture 1.4 seems more like a marketing ploy than a real need. In fact, 50 mm 1.4G is in no way inferior to 50 mm 1.8G, and for a simple amateur photographer this is
