While I hope to create a full Nikon 50mm f/1.4D AF Lens evaluation, my first priority is to include results from this lens in the lens comparison tools. This page currently exists because it is required by the database and content management systems for the posting of those standard test results.

I primarily use this lens for portrait photography and would reccomend it to anyone from the photo enthusiast to the professional photographer. It produces very sharp images with a fast zoom.

Durable; Easily Interchangeable; Quick Focus; Sharp Focus; Strong Construction

I bought this lens for my Nikon d7000, excellent lens, very sharp, auto focus is fast but sounds like a choking donkey,very noisy. Still, for the price, you get a great lens, well worth it.

There are plenty of great, maybe better, lenses on the market. I chose the 50mm f/1.4D because for me, it is a versatile lens to an extent. It is a prime lens, therefore one cannot zoom in (for those of you not familiar or new to prime lenses.

Excellent lens for portrait. Very sharp. I like the bokeh of it. It is just a bit noisy when autofocusing. Works fine with Nikon D80 (apparently it is not compatible with older DSLR).
