Customer Reviews for Nikon 50mm F/1.4D Af Nikkor Lens
Superb wee lense posted on 2008-12-28
What a wee gem of a lense. It gives fast, sharp pictures even in very low light (room with just glow from TV in background). For the money and speed I would recommend this lense (above that of the f1.8D) as I generally want to have the best lense to do the job (otherwise knowing myself, I will be nagged with the thought that the f1.4 would have been netter). I know it is good, very good. I hope this helps
 
Fast Prime Lens posted on 2008-10-16
I am using this Nikon 50mm f/1.4D lens with my Nikon D40. Due to the lack of a focus motor on the body this lens is manual focus only, but otherwise works fine (Metering etc.). Nikon have recently released a f/1.4G model of this lens which will auto-focus on the D40/D60 and should be available around Nov-Dec 2008. Manual focus doesn't bother me so I purchased this lens rather than waiting.

Due to the cropped DX sensor on the D40, this 50mm prime gives approx. 75mm coverage, making it suitable for portraits but makes it a little tricky to get a good shot in a confined room.
As such, I contemplated getting the Sigma 30mm f1.4 EX DC HSM Digital Lens For Nikon Mount in order to get a bit of a wider angle, but decided against due to its weight (430g, as opposed to this lens which is 230g) and price (around £100 more expensive).

I already own the Sigma DC 3,5-6,3/18-200 OS HSM for Nikon which is great as a general purpose lens; my main reason for purchasing this Nikon prime was in order to get a wider aperture (f/1.4) and sharper pictures.

At f/1.4 images can be a tad soft, but at f/1.8 (and especially around f/2-2.8) quality is superb. I'd argue that at f/1.8 the image is sharper than Nikon's other popular prime, the Nikon - AF 50mm F/1.8D Lens. The only other criticism I can find is that it can be prone to lens flare, which is possibly alleviated by getting a petal-hood for it.

Ultimately this is a great prime lens but before purchasing I'd recommend comparing and possibly considering the cheaper Nikon 50mm f/1.8D or the new 50mm f/1.4G which will autofocus on the D40/D60.
 
Super fast lense with super fast delivery posted on 2008-08-12
I first bought the Nikon 50mm/1.8 lense and like it so much so I returned it immediately to buy this lense instead - the even faster 50mm/1.4 lense. This lense is perfect for taking indoor portraits without flash in semi-dark conditions. I can not find any build quality issues, it is noticeable that this is not a silent motor inside but the AF is really quick.

Simply Electronics shipped this all the way from Hong Kong to UK in only 2 days, which I think is very fast. They also replied quickly when I emailed them.
 
fantastic lens!!!! posted on 2008-02-16
basically,i had done my reseach on nikon 50mm f1.4 and f1.8 for a month..
if u want a good prime lens, f1.8 is enough for you to choose. the pictures are sharp.but f1.4 is even sharper....
both lens are good for me, if you like long term investment I recommend f1.4...
all are depend on your pocket money...
 
Great lens for the price posted on 2008-01-07
Can't see the problem the previous buyer had with this lens.
Superb lens, pin sharp, F1.4 for lovely hand held low light shots.
A simple reliable lens. Well worth the money
