Nikon AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.4D Lens Review

 

Good sharpness in the centre at maximum aperture, Outstanding sharpness when stopped down, A good value used buy, Decent enough build quality

Screw-driven focus, Falloff at f/1.4, Basic design lacks luxuries of more modern lenses

Nikkor AF 50mm f/1.4 D (FX) - Review / Test Report

 

Normal primes have a long standing reputation of high quality for an affordable price and the Nikkor AF-D 50 makes no exception to this rule. The lens is able to deliver very sharp images, at least slightly stopped down.

Nikon Nikkor AF 50 mm f/1.4D

 

So far we've tested 1.4/50 class Canon, Pentax and Sony lenses. The Nikkor 50 mm f/1.4D was left as the last one. The users of this system are really spoiled for choice in the segment of fast 50 mm devices. The 1.8/50 model, tested by us previously,...

solid, small and physically light barrel at the same time ; excellent image quality from f/2.0 ; chromatic aberration sensibly corrected ; low astigmatism ; good autofocus work

noticeably „soapy” image by f/1.4 ; significant coma ; work against bright light could have been better

Nikon AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.4D

 

The AF-Nikkor 50mm 1:1.4D is Nikon's current version of their fast 'standard' prime lens, and while this specific model was introduced in 1995, the basic optical design dates back to the manual focus 50mm 1:1.4 AI of 1977. It features a traditional...

Excellent image quality when stopped down ; Essentially no lateral chromatic aberration

Distinctly soft at wider apertures ; Bokeh chromatic aberration, most visible at wide apertures ; Broad blue-coloured halation at wide apertures ; Vignetting at wide apertures on full frame (essentially disappears by F2.8)

Anyone reading this review shortly after that of the Canon EF 50mm F.4 USM will surely be experiencing an uncanny sense of deja vu; the two lenses' characteristics and performance are remarkably similar, as we might expect from designs of similar...

Nikon 50mm f/1.4D AF Nikkor Review

 

Despite using a 15-year-old optical formula, the lens still stands up to scrutiny: while it's not tack-sharp when used wide-open, it's still quite good, and stopped down to ƒ/2.8 image quality is excellent.

Basic tools are a necessity in any field of work. Construction workers have circular saws. Painters have primer coats. Mechanics have socket sets. And good photographers have fast, sharp and ideally inexpensive lenses. These are tools good tradesmen...
