My lust for this lens began last spring, when I tested it at Nikon's Ginza showroom in Japan. I promised myself I would own this beauty in the not too distant future. Fast forward five months and I finally got the lens in hand. Honestly, I did run into some focus issues.

Mount: Nikon F | Format: Full frame | Construction: 12 elements in 10 groups, 9 diaphragm blades | Closest focus distance: 25cm | Filter thread: 77mm | Autofocus: ring-type ultrasonic | Dimensions: 83 x 89mm, weight 620g | Tested on: Nikon D600 This is Nikon's top-dollar f/1.4 prime lens for...

Lots has already been said about this lens, but my favorite aspect is the unique rendering it provides. It has some pretty heavy vingetting wide open, but it is very natural looking and contributes to the overall look of the images.Stop down to f/4 or 5.6 and nothing in this focal length can touch...

Amazingly sharp, contrasty and lovely rendering; Moderate but easily correctible distortion

Expensive; Unreliable auto focus in contra lighting

While it's a shame that picture and sound quality haven't been upgraded, the iPhone 13 was great in these regards and the iPhone 14 is, too Excellent display Admirable headphone performance Solid build quality No upgrades to picture or sound Familiar design Notch is still present

Apple's latest non-Pro iPhone is superb - it's just that it's strikingly similar to last year's effort.

Still an incredible smartphone, Brilliant battery life gets a bit better, Excellent camera system gets a bit better

Last year’s Pro hardware, Wireless charging slow by modern standards, No USB-C; it’s now well overdue

Nikon's latest wide angle prime sports a bright maximum aperture of f/1.4, silent focusing and Nano-Crystal coatings.

Excellent optical quality; Fast focusing; Superb build quality

Occasionally struggles to focus accurately enough for use at f/1.4; Slight barrel distortion; Pricey

Prime lenses are a dangeorusly expensive addiction. From the moment you snap one onto your SLR/DSLR, fire off a shot, and revel in the Barry White smooth BOKEH , you're hooked. As a matter of fact, just leave the ultra-wide zooms at home.

While I hope to create a full Nikon 24mm f/1.4G AF-S Lens, my first priority is to include results from this lens in the lens comparison tools available on the site. This page currently exists because it is required by the database and content management systems for me to post information and...

Nikon's first 24mm f/1.4 lens ever is also its first AF-S wide-angle prime, incorporating the familiar AF-S package: a Silent Wave Motor, instant start/stop autofocus action, and the M/A focusing mode that lets you fine-tune focus manually while in autofocus mode.

The most awesome focal length for FX landscapes, and the next most awesome on DX (1.5x 24mm =36mm) . I doubt anything better will be made in the next 50 years.

Optical quality at all apertures (sharpness, colour rendition, bokeh, resistance to flare); Lightweight; Perfect for night lanscapes and astrophotography; Really good on DX for pet photos

Price; 1800 euros, really; Oww, hurts
