Pros:Very pleasant bokeh, weight, colors, brightness
Cons:Af, front/back focus in low light, not very good sharpness in low light,
Opinion:I tried both 1.8 and this 1.4. I liked the 1.8 more because it was already nitito at full aperture, this instead requires the closure up to F2.5 to get the most. But as for the portraits in terms of sharpness and rendering there are no big differences. As for course the brightness changes with a Diaphragm F1.4 enters more light even if closed at f2. But the interesting thing that transmits a very good light on the face of the photographed subject and consequently also the Bokeh is pleasant. For the rest as already mentioned it is slightly less sharp than the F1.8 so the price seems to me a bit high compared to what it offers.
Opinion:I've been using it for a few months with D750 and Z5. Excellent colors, very pleasant blurred, bulk and weight modesti.AF not very fast but still good and precise. Purchased used for 250, I would say that it is worth them all! I wanted better colors than the 50mm Z and a different blurred, after seeing several photos and reading the reviews, thanks also to users who gave me the clarifications I asked I bought it and I do not regret it, indeed. On Nikon Z, compared to the 50mm Z it is not that it is more bulky, although there is the Recommended adapter!
Pros:Exceptional! Formidable and excellent blur made already from 1.8
Cons:made in china
Opinion:after trying a myriad of 50ini, both vintage AI/AI-S, E series, AF/AF-D, AF-S and all both f1.4 and f1.8 I can draw only one conclusion: STRATOSFERICO! First of all it weighs more than the brother f1.8, has 9 slats and in blurring the difference you see (brother f1.8 in certain situations has a more nervous blur). At 1.4 he detaches the planes in a fabulous way. nl I found very sharp at f 1.4, deadly from f 1.8/ f 2 on D800e (at 36 mpx) the rest are bar chatter and the tests are not worth a stump... only those who do not know how to use a full optics can pull out negative comments.
Cons:Fears comparison with 50mm 1.8, sometimes has front or back focus issues
Opinion:I confirm what others have said and I add what I found: -depending on the specimens suffers from back focus or front focus, and it is a serious defect because you will be forced to shoot at least F4. -With low brightness the car focus loses so much in performance. -is slightly brighter than 1.8 for the same diaphragm. -has pretty much the same resolution as brother 1.8. Honestly with hindsight I would choose 1.8G for the price, the focus and the rest. If you really want the difference go to Sigma or the old Nikon manual F1.4 of the 70s. It produces beautiful images if you want to shoot in manual.
Opinion:The objectives must be judged by the images, in which their weight is as important as that of the body, photographer and editing! If the defect is correctable (contrast, microcontrast, etc., etc.), it is not a defect! The 50 f1.4 G, therefore has very few, to say none, defects (like the vast majority of today's "serious" goals). I like it and I think its contribution to the final image is very positive. I love the bright fixtures, they have another gear, they are recognized by the images, beyond the sharpness, which on the other hand, in the field in focus is always remarkable. Thank you for your patience for reading me!
