Opinion: When I took it at a price not really cheap I knew from the reviews read that it would be a great optics! I use it on DF and I can say that it is an exceptional lens, especially in the evening or in environments with little light.. I love shooting with little light, and this lens seems to be born for shots of this kind!!! I agree with Lupaccio who reviewed this lens long before me, when he says nikon put a brush in the hands of photographers... his colors are unparalleled... is not as sharp as other 1.4 optics.. but when I print the photos the owner of the laboratory always says that they are particular colors and nothing and excessive ... the light, the colors of the skin, in short and a particular optics that must be used and understood! And then he doesn't give up, they tell me that 35 1.4 and on the same line... ok as soon as I find a great used.... |
  | sent on March 24, 2021 Pros: Optical yield, weight, versatility Cons: Important frame despite lens size, cost, lasco lampshid Opinion: Perhaps I was lucky: the specimen in my possession has no problems with focus or consistency of yield with both the D3x and the D750. Usually the optics so bright are fine especially to make portraits, instead with fifty-eight I made different landscapes with some satisfaction. It was a impulse purchase, but it convinced me right away. As much as I am a short optics adept, I feel very good with the narrowest angle of field of this lens. One curious thing is that in the backlight it overexposes, unlike all the others. On the contrary, I very rarely have to make exposure compensation. I really like the somewhat pastel colors that he returns, contrary to what I read is not even too ply of details. It is very versatile: if you want to make portraits at full opening you do it, if you want to make landscape with much more closed diaphragms he does not say no and adapts. One of those goals to keep always attached to the REFLEX, too bad that even used has its cost: but it is certainly worth the expense. Update 31 May 2021: at full opening it sometimes becomes a bit inaccurate as a focus, even with good AF modules such as that of the D3x and the D750. At that point, button on the left, you turn off the autofocus, and proceed with manual focus. Another thing this lens continues to amaze me for is the three-dimensionality of the images, one of its most beautiful features. |
 | sent on November 03, 2020 Pros: It's a unique lens, a 105 in the body of a 58. It makes the photos magical. To try to believe. Cons: Difficult to calibrate it to TA; several aberrations in TA; field curvature; exosive price of the new; I ruined the inner edge by sticking the cap without looking (50 euros the spare). Plasticky. Opinion: I've had two years later and I've never been able to calibrate them well, using them on different machine bodies. It's my fault. I'd love to try them now on Z to see if front-back focus issues stop but I don't have them anymore. However, the photos I took with this lens are different from all the others, parameters that cannot be quantified with cold data come into play... You enter a new dimension. It is worth buying a used one, within 1000 euros, to try it taking into account the considerations of the users read so far, without going in search of what it is not, but on the contrary to enhance its peculiarities, and then possibly resell it at the same amount. The low light colors in the interior are incredible but it is obviously the yield of the blurry and the soft separation between focus and blurry areas that are its prerogative. I think only 200/2 is more satisfying but I wasn't lucky enough to prove it. I also had 85/1.4 and 105/1.4 much more precise and sharper at TA but this has from its greater angle of field that allows very particular set portraits. Special also the yield of the light points, in the evening, it is possible to distinguish the bulb in the lamppost, without halos. However, I do not like that towards the edges the out-of-focus lights become "cat's eyes". Very sharp from f/2 for those who also look for sharpness but at TA it is not a Sigma Art (which as far as I am concerned returns a very different bokeh). But the worst flaw I found was the heightened curvature of the field, so when I photographed a painting, for example, it didn't all come into focus, say, center and edges in focus and half-blurry, to "sombrero." I don't give a damn about photographing a painting with this lens, but if I had tot subjects lined up on the same floor they didn't all come into focus on me especially a short distance away, let's put a row of bottles. So I freaked out. For portraits with only one subject no problem. They freaked me out, but I read about this intrinsic feature of it. With distant and diaphragm subjects, the problem arises less. Every time I sold them to invest in optics more suited to my photographic genres, but every now and then, if I have to make a portrait, I feel orphaned by their magic. (1000 euros to use it every now and then I can not afford it). |
 | sent on August 16, 2020 Pros: Humanity, bokeh, color range, tonal passages Cons: It is a particular lens of not immediate understanding Opinion: I confess that I find it hard to review the 58ne after saying plague and horns for years. I owned two different specimens both for a very short time, I had (and still have) in the house the 50 Art and the 50 Milvus and this plasticine lently I never considered at the level of my two samples, if I went to make a comparison for sharpness the 58 seemed broken! Recently, however, I bought it back and forced myself to try to understand it. I discovered (it's meant to say...) that it's not a blade, a measuring tool, it wasn't designed for that. It is rather a brush that Nikon puts in the photographer's hand to invite him to give vent to his artistic vein. The fantastic and sometimes surreal bokeh, the tonal passages, the naturalness of the colors, well, in short, you find yourself looking at the photos with a different eye and the term sharpness suddenly loses importance. Of course it is not an easy lens, of those that make you immediately fall in love. And it costs a little while considering it's nothing more than a plastic and it doesn't even have special lenses. And yet... but I see that in my house I live very well with my samples, using it a lot of fun and its peculiarities lead me to say that it is the best 50-58 ever pulled out of Nikon. So is it to buy? Given the abnormal cost I would recommend a preventative test and - if you like - a purchase on the used, you will find brand new specimens on a thousand euros. My third 58 will also be the last one, this one I hold tight! |
 | sent on May 15, 2020 Pros: image veracity Cons: Price Opinion: had for a year and used on D800 where it makes a difference! It makes you find out what both You and Him can be capable of. Colors, fire, bokeh, white/black, depth, detail, F/1.4 really exploitable at 1.4................when I see his photos I hate my other goals. The results of matrix exposure are perfect if there is ever perfect exposure. On the D800 for trestle-like photos, it improves even more in LiveView. Defects? The cost, but............... it's the only lens that made me understand the real capabilities of the D800. Sold with great regret.......... |
 | sent on February 02, 2019 Pros: Weight, image quality, F 1.4 Cons: Price Opinion: Purchased from a few days to replace the 24/70 (more versatile but too heavy for hiking in the mountains) I wanted to try it for landscape photography especially at photos of the water games in the mountain streams at court distances. I am satisfied with the yield in general (colors, detail...) and do not feel the lack of the stabilizer, also the weight (385 g) makes easier the long hikes in the mountains. Soon I will try it for portraiture and night, fields for which it is intended but from the photos and comments of other Members I see that the results are very satisfactory. |
 | sent on March 28, 2018 Pros: Superb yield. Lightness. Cons: High price, the aperture ring is missing, being an AFS Opinion: I have been using it for over a year on 16 and 36 megapixel full frame sensors; with both the overall yield is superb: high sharpness, open shadows, blurring fairytale, soft colors and never pacchiani. After trying it I sold the Zeiss milvus of the same focal length, definitely sharper at the edges to wider openings, but not up to the Nikon in terms of transparency and color rendering. In practice all those to whom I showed the test photos made with the 2 objectives preferred those taken with Nikon. |
 | sent on September 22, 2017 Pros: Excellence in its being: blurred and its transition, three-dimensionality, character and detail Cons: Front end cap thread end, front and rear moving lens during maf Opinion: The lens divides: the most hate it by relying on echoes of internet talk and TA test at the least focusing distance. It's unique in its kind, a vintage optic with a modern body, allows shots not possible with other lenses (REALLY). You do not have to buy it as a handyman, it should be used at medium distances, in backlight, at night or in conditions where all the other 'medium targets' would not be able to express themselves to the best of them.rn the resolution is all, deceiving the fluff diaphragms 1.4-1.8.rn |
 | sent on August 18, 2017 Pros: Three Dimensional, Sharpness, Colors, Blush, Weight Cons: Construction Opinion: An absolutely magical lens. Returns unique images of a beauty that leaves open.rnI took the Sigma 50 1,4 ART, which is certainly clearer at TA ... but this 58 ... has much more "character." Color, contrast and three-dimensionality Incredible ... blurred almost at the 85 level 1.4 AFD.rnEcceptional even in night photos.rnrnIt is just ... the feeling of "fragility" due to the wide use of plastics. Conversely it is very light. |
 | sent on June 24, 2016 Pros: outstanding performance Cons: you pay for Opinion: I took the Nikon 58mm with whom I replaced the 50 Article I 3 months, I made the change because despite the art is an excellent goal has not made me fall in love, unfortunately, it is useless if there is no feeling that there strive so that one thing should enjoy at all costs. 58 ?? but so much stuff ... except the magic of focus, fairytale, 3d remarkable detachment, what struck me was the performance of products files, little action shots were enough to make me fall in love. rnMi might add my own personal view on this goal, I read a lot of information before you buy it, many of these were not positive and if I went back to these surely would not take 58, luckily I did my own thing, and that's fine so, but probably those who have judged in a particularly positive has not done for the cost for the actual quality of this, after f1.4 24-35-85 accounts do not come cheap ....... ............ very satisfied !! |
 | sent on November 29, 2015 Pros: Magic of Blurry, Three-dimensionality, precision AF (once calibrated), Weight, Color, Sharpness from F / 2.8 on the whole frame, Yield Backlit, Vignette Magic Cons: Construction, size, Sharpness to F / 1.4 (if you search, because this lens is not essential), Price, aberrations in TA Opinion: Along with the 35 F / 1.4G lens my favorite home Nikon: absolutely magical, photos you do with him will recognize at a glance, in my opinion comparable to those magical 50L but 8mm longer be seen in the portrait and lead to a break even steeper and a three dimensional accentuatissima. I admit that I was rather dubious reading the reviews but decided to try it and it was never more apt choice: it is true, the sharpness is not top especially in TA, but for the first time when I look at the photos taken because I seek not really have something and beyond that I have not encountered in any other standard lens. Let me explain: the kind of blurred behind and in front of the subject is more comparable to a 100mm telephoto portrait on a normal medium telephoto but the field of view is much wider opening unexpected compositional possibilities. But these beauties come out using it for real and not measuring it on Imatest studio on a white sheet and black. The price charged by Nikon may be giustor if you know the type of lens that is, the only problem is that until you use it thoroughly and then you miss it at first seems disproportionate. However just as well, I prefer to know that there are few people who appreciate it for potermelo enjoy more! Joking aside, it really becomes sharp from F / 2.8 with beautiful colors that are perfect for landscaping; It is not his field, but do not hesitate to use it because he actually something more there too. Perhaps the only disappointment is that actually using it to TA in low light for landscapes is not the best as opposed to what Nikon says, because actually the sharpness especially at the extreme edges is not passable. Enough anyway to follow the rules and use photographic tripod and long lead times, but often we forget ... rnP.S. Single lens 35 where in the portraits I do not apply the correction target because they have a very nice vignetting that helps make every event unique carattere.rnInone of my best buys. |
 | sent on April 24, 2015 Pros: Lightweight and compact, bokeh fairytale, focal "normal", it is nice. Optical scheme among the best ever. Cons: Sunshade a little fragile, when you unscrew it bends with little force. Opinion: I took this lens by three days, I used it right away on the first night in and night shooting in the city. Really gave me what I expected from a lens like this. I had a bit of fear while I purchased, for reviews on its construction plasticky and flimsy (who has compared the 50 1.8G, has not taken into mano..è whole other pasta). A younger brother of 85 1.4G but not in yield where his bokeh fantastic surrounds the AF point giving the images almost fairytale. Perhaps like the Canon 50 1.2. So I consider it solid but lightweight and compact, especially with paraluce.rnQuesta lens is not for everyone, or you love it or hate it. If you seek a focal said normal and super quality and are ready to shell out 1400 Euros, is the lens for you. |
  | sent on May 21, 2014 Pros: Lightweight, multi-purpose behavior under or over f2.8, the most beautiful bokeh ever produced by an AFS, extraordinary for environmental portrait and backlit. Cons: fragility sensation in the complex and in the manual MAF. Opinion: For months I was waiting for the release of the new "near-normal" Nikon. I badly needed, for my D800 / 810, an optical output from the near to that of 85 f1.4 but more usable in tight interior, and found in the AF-S 58mm 1.4G a unique tool in its modern way. rnDottor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde! rnDa f2.8 up for my portraiture has a sharpness "excessive", intermediate diaphragms are reproductions of almost the entire frame but down from TA to f2 like stepping into a time machine, has the exact same performance nikon 85 1.4D with one-tenth of chromatic aberrations and backlighting more extreme in the least breaks down as it was not a 105micro.rnHa a softness that fully embraces with a viral portrait style oldstyle, recently recommended to those looking for the sharpest detteglio at RT. rnUna lens definitely out of the chorus of the modern optics or you hate it or you ama.rnPrezzo exorbitant for the sense of fragility sending, I hope I never have to truly test in this regard. rnUn little brother of & #39; 85 1.4G, (not in the price) softer at room temperature and a bit warmer and more usable in tight interior, much less it closed in the shadows of his cousins ??nanocristallizzati and flare almost zero. rnDai my tests I am very satisfied, I hope in the future should not let me down mechanically using heavy. . . . Update of 25/09/14: I'm four months that I use this lens assiduously, after many services I can confirm his goodness in the generic portraits and interior. I do not know why at the beginning scared me its light weight, maybe it's a common heritage to associate the heaviness to the robustness and reliability but now I changed my mind. Together bokeh exceptional today mention just its lightness as a rare privilege that distinguishes it among the best performing lens. Never used before has a lens with such yield contoluce without closing too the shadows and in the detail so painterly. I also bought a belt clip where I hang a second body with 58mm always readyif necessary, excellent versatility also manageable with one hand. rnrn |
user6267  | sent on January 12, 2014 Pros: Lightness, Sharpness. Cons: Delicacy constructive, excessive cost. Opinion: I got to test it on a Sunday morning thanks to a colleague that this lens has completed the triad 35-58-85 f/1.4.rnLa lens is really great, we appreciate all already opened its peculiarities. Even as f / 2 it can be said that the output file does not need any tweaking in post. The blur is pleasant and even mounted on a DX body its consistency remains. Great for unusual street but also half-length portraits. It 'very light. The plastics used in its construction are very delicate. Be careful when you reassemble the cap lens cap ... in a nothing will play the inner edge just below the thread for filters. Value for money really average, spend almost € 2,000 for the version Nital for a very delicate plastic barrel seems a bit excessive. Puzzled! |
