Abstract: Announced just before Photokina 2008, Nikons AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G lens is the latest upgrade to a long series of classic primes and the first new 50mm lens from the company in more than 30 years. As an AF-S lens it is compatible with even entry-lev...
The sharpness, colour fidelity and contrast of this lens, and the complete absence of distortion, make it a perfect optic for portraits. The closest focus distance is 0.45m, so it is not a macro lens, but the brilliance of the images means they can be ...
The auto focus seems, for want of a better word, languid. It is always accurate and the mechanism is indeed silent, but the lens cruises, rather than snaps, into sharp focus.
After shooting hundreds of images, mostly pictures of people, we fell in love with it. It is more expensive than the zoom lenses that come as standard kit with DSLRs, which gives an idea of the relative quality of each lens type. A good prime beats a m...

Abstract: Nikon's mid-term refresh of the firm's hugely popular D800 and D800E models resulted in a single model, the D810. Like the D800E it aims to maximize the resolution of the full-frame 36-Mpix CMOS sensor and omits a modified AA filter completely. We've anal...
Abstract: A standard kit zoom lens can work reasonably well for portraiture, but a budget prime lens gives you greater versatility. We tested eight of the top options to see how they performed.SEE MORE: 9 things you should know before using prime lensesYou can't of...

Abstract: Aimed at professional studio and landscape photographers, the full-frame 36-Mpix D800E with its modified AA filter effectively increasing resolution over the standard D800 model is the closest 35mm full-frame camera yet to rival larger formats in renderin...
The Nikon AF-S 50mm f1.4G shows a very appealing optical performance that alone would earn it a Recommended. But factoring in its small size, light weight, weather sealing and price/performance ratio I'd upgrade this lens to Highly Recommended! Good point...
