Pros:Blur, sharpen for me even at full aperture, price, compact, yield
Cons:If we want to look for the NIT, not considering the price, af a bit noisy and not very fast
Opinion:A lens that I recommend to everyone, very compact and excellent efficiency. As mentioned in the pros, lots of quality at a price of used really trivial for a perspective of this kind. Ideal to take with you traveling for compactness, it can get a little long for street but when used on old FF sensors from 12mpx Nikon you will struggle to take it off like so many other D series lenses. Conclusion, without many words and frills, leaving the time finding and make us lose the sense of understanding photography as an artistic form, for me is a BEST BUY.
Opinion:Purchased used in physical store at a great price. Objective practically as new. Used on my nikon d7100 I find it amazing, especially in interiors. It holds very well the 24 mpx of my car. Great for half-length portraits, not suitable due to distortion for close-ups. I also use it in landscapes. In outdoor light it tends to overexpose at least half a stop, so much so that by now imposed compensation by default. A bit 'soft to TA but very clear already at f / 1.8. My specimen did not come with the hood. I bought a non-original rubber that performs well to its function and that, contrary to the original, can be folded on the optics with a better portability. Highly recommended for those looking for a fixed 50. The used prices are very affordable and if you are lucky enough to find one in good condition it is to be taken on the fly.
Pros:f1,4, dimensions, price, strength, clarity with intermediate diaphragms, color rendering and rendering of shadows.
Cons:none relevant.
Opinion:I bought it and used it as a portrait opener for DX (D7100). in this capacity it is excellent and holds 24 mpx well. Used on the d800 loses some of his poetry but maybe it's my problem that I do not adapt to the focal length 50 mm. I still have to test it well on FX to understand its usefulness well: it would be the complement of a minimal set of 3 lenses (20 1.8 - 50 1.4 - 100 macros) but in reality I see no particular merits nor defects for which it risks becoming (for me) a really unused lens. I do not find big flaws, it is obvious that a lens f / 1.4, however, dated is soft to 1.4 with some visible aberration. just load the correction profile on lightroom (LR 7 has it incorporated) and solve the problem, Intermittal diaphragms is a blade, I would say that from f2.8 is very clear up to f8 (on DX). I have to verify it well but probably with d800 already f / 8 the diffraction could take away sharpness. It has a major advantage over AFS optics: it is small and is never a problemtake it with you. Attention, however, that at close distances with 36mpx the lens, even at 1.4 makes a lot of detail (with a shot like a portrait just looking at the pores and the imperfections of the skin are seen in a surgical way). Overall I would say excellent lens that will like on FX to all those who at the time of the film did a bit 'of everything with 50mm and DX who wants a portrait lens and short traditional canvases. The color rendering is very good, more neutral than the AFS (To understand the 35 1.8 DX is more saturated with the same picture control). Last positive note; today it is used in very good conditions at less than half the price of an AFS 1.4 which, however, does not excel in quality enough to justify the price difference with the AFS 1.8.
Pros:F. 14, color rendition closed one stop on, sharpness from F2, size and weight, starry
Cons:Coma and AC longitudinal to open diaphragms, focus ring, color rendition to TA (may not be a defect)
Opinion:I've been using this lens for a year now on DX and FX, compared to 50 1.8 D is less hard and better keeps the backlight (better anti-glare treatment), but the yield is almost similar from 1.8 onwards, so it is to be assessed if you do not need such an opening the purchase of the version 1.8 d costing less than half of the used; The colors are doughy and less contraated than the modern lenses (a TA and up to F2 some shades are slightly desaturated), while the Blur is a little more nervous and the bokeh at the edges tends to the onion effect round anyway up to F2, from F 2.2 onwards takes on hexagonal shape (The slats are not smoothed as in the G series); The lens suffers from coma and AC obvious longitudinal to TA, it improves on FF already from 1.6, while on APS-C you have to close at least F2, on both systems the best from F 2.5 to F4 with a reduction of the AC (still visible in the areas out of focus even at closed diaphragms); The csotrctive level is good but not excelled with the focus ring in the manual not very comfortable; Lens that I recommend more on FF than on APS-C (where I recommend alternatively the 50 1.8 D or 50 1.8 g); Lens to try and a little to understand especially in TA with a yield a little particular.
Opinion:I've had three because of a particular focal bit (long and short indoors outdoors) cmq for me the only real cons is the total lack of sharpness at f1.4 very soft and virtually unusable, to f2 is radically transformed it acquires a sharpness that remains unchanged until f8 (varying only the blurred), very compact lightweight and well constructed high yield of usual colors of af, recommended! !!
Opinion:Beautiful bright lens, with beautiful blurry, beautiful colors, small and light. This as long as it works indoor.rnPorting it outdoors makes it a true AC catalyst, purple fringes, spherocromatisms, flare (and consequent contrasts), ghosts and sometimes some color tint. RnLean the haze from this lens Is fairly limited. From f1.4 to f2 it is unusable (except for the search for particular effects) for the limited definition. In addition to these features you need to avoid photographic disasters, it is a tool that, if used appropriately, gives great shots, with delicate and delicate shapes and a beautiful feeling of depth. It tends to overexpose a couple of thirds of stop.
Opinion:It 's my favorite optics! It is used around 200 euro (I took years ago to a shamefully low price) and offers a new optical quality that is much more expensive dream. And 'course perspective that goes well for both the FX format DX is, I use it on D90 at the time, making it an optical portrait spectacular. Do not wait to be able to afford an SLR FX to exploit even more its characteristics making it the optical Reporting by not ever detach from the stain. Coming from the zoom kit, the first click will notice sharpness and image quality from another planet. At full aperture is a bit 'soft and is objectively difficult to get a focus millimeter .. but already at f / 2.8 is a razor (see to believe: http://www.juzaphoto.com/galleria.php?t=257771&l = en). The blur is fantastic as are the colors and the contrast: do not really need post production. The size and weight make it a view to always carry everywhere, senza seem Martians with the bazooka (when traveling in developing countries is important), the construction is solid, I will mount the metal hood of the 35mm f / 2 D .. so is proof of any urto.rnrnIl major flaw is that the AF is slower and noisier than the younger generation but is physiological given the years he has on his shoulders. For the kind of pictures that I do not find a particular problema.rnrnE 'a piece of history of Nikon and, in my opinion a "must have". If you find it in good condition and at a good price must be yours!
Opinion:I use it on my d7000 and I find it perfect for portrait f1.4/1.8 / has a blurred effect that allows no work in post-production. In addition f2.2 becomes a blade, precise and outstanding detail. as I said perhaps the only flaw (if you really want to find it) and the focus still noisy because mechanics.
Pros:Statement (more or less € 150 used), brightness, blur, sharpen.
Cons:AF inaccurate.
Opinion:It is a lens that I use on my D7000 to make portraits and macro (with extension tubes, kenko). I must say that the results are really good! At f/1.4 it is very soft (which for me is not a defect and, indeed, sometimes I find it also very nice). Visibly improved since f / 2 and the central aperture (from f/2.8 onwards) to the best of '. Too bad for the af inaccurate which makes it very difficult to use a wide open aperture! Obviously less affected by the problem by closing the diaphragm. I recommend it to all newbies like me, need a steady light: the price of 'used is very small and offers very good performance.
Pros:Small, relatively cheap, bright, good performance diaphragms power, low distortion
Cons:Very soft wide open, AF sometimes inaccurate
Opinion:I picked it up in 1996 to capture the passage of the comet Hale Bopp. It was the focal brighter than I could afford at the time. At full aperture is rather soft in the center, improves at f / 2 and becomes very good at f / 2.8, even if the best is achieved at f / 5.6. Little distortion and relatively good resistance to flare, while a f / 1.4. The focus has been shown in AF are not always accurate, but with different bodies. Not much but at f / 1.4 even an inch makes a difference. He has good size very small. The new AF-S G is a completely different music, much drier wide open, offers the same excellent prerformance intermediate diaphragms and surgical precision in focus; nowadays not much point in buying the old model, also saw its little price difference.
