It takes such beautifully clear pictures and the bokeh is dreamy This is my everything lens. I’ve been traveling and this lens stays on my camera probably 85% of the time. It takes such beautifully clear pictures and the bokeh is dreamy 🙂
This is meant for FX cameras (Full Frame) however works fine with a DX crop sensor like my D5300 First prime lens, and first lens purchase outside of the kit lenses. Took my photography to the next level and started booking shoots immediately following the first shots I took. Get it! One thing to note! This is meant for FX cameras (Full Frame) however works fine with a DX crop sensor like my D5300. But note that any lens, both DX and FX, will result in a 1.5 crop ratio on your photos. So this being a 50mm, its truly a 75mm. If you want a true 50mm on a DX formatted camera, I would suggest starting with the Nikkor 35mm 1.8. With the crop sensor, that one is 52mm, and is also a beast! I have both, and use the 35mm for my prime, and this 50mm for portraits.I was new to all that info upon purchase and I wish I would have known.Enjoy!!
Decent lens, but the 1.8G is just as good for far less money This is a decent lens if it’s on sale. The only reason it’s getting a mediocre rating is because at full price, I simply can’t see it being that much better than the excellent Nikon 50mm f/1.8G. The 1.8G is a flat out bargain, and is the main reason many people might choose not to purchase the 1.4G.I own both, and spent some time testing both lenses, and in most instances the 1.8G is as good or better. On the plus side, the lens focuses fairly quickly, and opens up to f/1.4 when you need it. It’s slightly heavier than the 1.8, but not so heavy to weigh you down. I think it’s a decent lens to have if you get it at a great price, otherwise i’d get the 1.8 and save the difference for something else.
