This is real a fast and easy lens for natural light portrait photos even in very low light conditions.
Bokeh is exquisite even on a DX body. Look forward to using this lens on a FX camera when i have one.

I wouldn't trade it for a G lens, at any time.
The only competition this 50mm lens would have is the Nikon 1.2f manual, 50mm.

This is a great lense...it takes nice, sharp pictures...but know this, its focus is limited only up to 20 ft...this is one that I would put in my collection for sure.

i have had the AF NIKKOR 50mm f/1.4D lens for over a year now. i shoot mainly abstract still
life photographs. this lens was rated well by
3rd party reviewers for price/sharpness. i have
not been disappointed. if you are unable to spend
the additional dollars to acquire a pro-level lens
this lens is a great choice.

What a fast and sharp lense that yields fantastic resolution and color! On my D200 with the DX sized sensor, it becomes a fast, wide aperture short telephoto lens that is great for portraits, theatre and close-in indoor sports.

This is a great lens I will use a lot. I've been a fan of 50mm lenses a long time, but this one does great. It's sharp, fast and compact. The glass is clear and photos shot through it are true. There is some vignetting at the wider apertures with a full-frame sensor, but I like to add vignetting to my photos a lot of the time, anyway. The vignetting is not unlike other 50mm lenses, though and some cameras are capable of canceling it out. It's my favorite lens already. I'm new to Nikon, but have used a competitor for decades.

I absolutely love my 50mm 1.4! I went from using the kit lens to using my new 50mm and I will never go back. Now I just need to add the 85mm to my arsenal!

This is a very inexpensive lens but don't let that fool you, this is an excellent lens for portraits or what ever else you wish to use it for, the quality of the images that you can get with this lens is breathtaking, for a lens that's under $200 you would expect average photos at best but it's completely the opposite, a great lens for very little money, BUY IT you won't be disappointed

I really like my 50mm f/1.4D lens. I bought it after testing it and the 50mm f/1.8 Nikkor - I found the larger aperture and greater sharpness to be worth the slightly more expensive price tag. I shoot a lot of models with this lens on my D3. It is also great for street photography, candids, and environmental portraits. In a world of zoom lenses, a fast prime still has a place in my bag.

This lens is my "go to" for Head & Shoulders portraits and for when I need a little more reach than I get with my 35mm F2D. I shoot a DX format Nikon D300s and though this makes the lens a "75mm", I've gotten used to the "Crop factor". Some say the bokeh of the 50mm 1.4D is harsh, but I just love the typical "50mm" DoF rendition that I get from this Nikon classic.

I shoot with a D200 and have been disappointed with the quality of photo until now. Using an off brand lens was okay, but lacked the high end quality expected from a Nikon product.
Matched with a Nikon lens, the results are incredible. You get what you pay for. Don't go cheap on lenses.

It is hard to find a bad 50mm lens. And in that tradition Nikon has continued to make a world class 50mm f/1.4 lens that just does the job. I put it on my D700 for a One lens/One Camera challenge to me.

I know the title is lame, but it is just what I think when this lens comes to mind. It is so good in low light, a true performer, with sharp edges which require little cropping.

This is a great prime lens for use in low light and/or high shutter-speed situations. I frequently use this lens for indoor photography when flash use is prohibited, such as photographing family members in plays, dance recitals, and the like. The f/1.4 allows me to capture moving objects, even in low light, and still get high quality images.
I primarily use this lens for the aforementioned purposes, but it is also a great all-around lens. It is very sharp and produces high quality images at all apertures.
Have used on Nikon D50 and D80.

I really never leave home without it especially when I have to shoot indoors for concerts, and portraits. This is the go to lens even for shooting at night with how sharp it is at wider apertures. I have gotten some truly great shots with this lens and I recommend it for both full and cropped frame bodies.
