Customer Reviews
Extraordinary, but for DX check out the 35mm f/2
After a year of using my D80, I can pick out the photos I made using this lens as the sharpest, best contrast, most special. It is fantastic. But with a DX camera, the 35mm f/2 lens is a better choice, because 35mm gives you a more “normal” lens perspective given the crop factor of DX sensors. 50mm on a DX camera is perfect for portraits, but if you’re looking for an everyday lens for street photography, photojournalism, or just shooting fast-moving kids (or anything else indoors) you’ll get frustrated with this lens because the DX sensor in the D80/D90/D300 “zooms” it to 70+mm. Oh, and I don’t think it will autofocus on the D40 or D60. On an FX camera (d700, or d3) it is pure perfection, but if you’re buying an FX why not spring for the f/1.4?
Must have lens
Very simply, buy this lens. The photos taken with available light are absolutely incredible. Does not autofocus with D40, but that is not a hardship as the in focus light will tell you when focus is correct. Great portrait lens as well as ambient light landscape lens. Buy it.
Should be owned by every Nikon user
This lens is superb. It’s a knockout low light performer, produces vivid colors, and is super contrasty. It’s contrast is so high I often have to tone it down if a picture is taken in very low light. Where almost all zooms fail in low light, this guy excels. Utilizing it’s extremely shallow depth of field can create some very dramatic pictures. This lens reveals pictures that are impossible on 95% of zoom lenses available. Sharpness rendered is breathtaking.
I’m not saying anything new I’m sure. This coupled with the 35 f2 is an exceptional duo. Mid range zooms are fine, but the precision and picture quality produced by top notch prime lenses is the way to go. The beauty of primes in this digital age is the ability to post process. If your 50 didn’t give you the reach you wanted, zoom later on your computer.
Also, don’t put a $5 filter in front of this thing. Spring for BW’s or Nikon’s filter. This lens performs as well as lenses costing 10 times as much.
