After using my brother’s Nikon 50mm f/1.8D lens for a few weeks, I broke down and picked up a new AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G lens. From all the reviews I’ve read, it’s an improvement over the older f/1.4D version being more sharper while still having a good DOF.
Here are some samples of what I took with the older f/1.8D lens. I like 50mm on my camera because I can get good photos without being in people’s faces.
I’ve really enjoyed using the 50mm f/1.8D and have taken some good photos with it. But it is on loan and I wanted my own. The new one is a better and more modern lens so getting that version should work out for me.
My initial test shots with the 50mm f/1.4G lens shows that the depth of field is really good. The object I focused on is sharp but the background is nice and soft.
This weekend I’ll use it a lot and post some of the results.
