Your DSLR’s Best Friend

A must-have for standard portraits and everyday use, the AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.4G is a lens that will absolutely surprise you. The 50mm focal length (75mm equivalent on DX format cameras) with a fast f/1.4 aperture allows you to capture stunning images with a shallow depth-of-field, letting your subjects stand out from their backgrounds. The AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.4G may soon become your new favorite lens.

Brilliance In Any Light Get Astonishing Low Light Results

This lightweight standard lens is a great travel companion because you never know when a beautiful, sunny day will turn cloudy and rainy. With its fast f/1.4 aperture, the AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.4G will capture even low-light situations with stunning brilliance.

Beautiful Background Blur Achieve More Natural Depth Of Field

Whether you're shooting portraits, food or nature—indoors or outdoors—the AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.4G renders a beautiful, natural background blur (Bokeh) at its wider aperture settings. And its 50mm focal length is perfect for creating natural perspective in your photographs.

Capture Every Detail Shoot Tack-Sharp Portraits Every Time

Nikon's Super Integrated Coating (SIC) enhances light transmission efficiency and offers superior color consistency and reduced flare, while the AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.4G's Aspherical Lens Element (AS) virtually eliminates coma and other types of aberrations, even when shooting at the widest available aperture. Pair that with Nikon's Silent Wave Motor (SWM) for fast, accurate and quiet autofocus, and you can be sure all of your portraits will be tack sharp.


Silent Wave Motor AF-S NIKKOR lenses feature Nikon’s Silent Wave Motor (SWM). This technology converts 'traveling waves' into rotational energy to focus the optics. This enables high-speed autofocusing that's extremely accurate and super quiet.	M/A Select NIKKOR lenses have a focusing mode which allows switching from automatic to manual focusing with virtually no lag time by simply turning the focusing ring on the lens. This makes it possible to seamlessly switch to fine manual focusing while looking through the viewfinder.	Aspherical Lens A lens with a curved, non-spherical surface. Used to reduce aberrations and enable a more compact lens size. Aspherical lenses minimize coma and other types of lens aberrations, even when used at the widest aperture. They are particularly useful in correcting distortion in wide-angle lenses and help contribute to a lighter, more compact design by reducing the number of standard (spherical) elements necessary. Aspherical lens elements correct these distortions by continuously changing the refractive index from the center of the lens.	Super Integrated Coating Nikon Super Integrated Coating is Nikon's term for its multilayer coating of the optical elements in NIKKOR lenses.

This is meant for FX cameras (Full Frame) however works fine with a DX crop sensor like my D5300

Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2017

Style: Lens OnlyVerified Purchase

First prime lens, and first lens purchase outside of the kit lenses. Took my photography to the next level and started booking shoots immediately following the first shots I took. Get it! One thing to note! This is meant for FX cameras (Full Frame) however works fine with a DX crop sensor like my D5300. But note that any lens, both DX and FX, will result in a 1.5 crop ratio on your photos. So this being a 50mm, its truly a 75mm. If you want a true 50mm on a DX formatted camera, I would suggest starting with the Nikkor 35mm 1.8. With the crop sensor, that one is 52mm, and is also a beast! I have both, and use the 35mm for my prime, and this 50mm for portraits.

I was new to all that info upon purchase and I wish I would have known.

Enjoy!!

Great lens - very happy with it

Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2017

Style: Lens OnlyVerified Purchase

This lens is pretty great. I'm new to photography, so dropping this much cash on a new lens was a big leap for me (versus the cheaper "nifty fifty" f1.8), but I'm so glad I took the chance. This lens shoots beautifully and gives gorgeous bokeh.

I've included some photos here from my very first day using this lens so you can get an idea - I'm not a great photographer yet though, so don't blame the lens for anything that's out of focus or stupidly shot.

Noticeable difference between f1.4 and f1.8

Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2017

Style: Lens OnlyVerified Purchase

While 2/3 of a stop difference doesn't seem like much you really notice it in the wide open bokeh and sharpness stopped down. Compared to the f1.8g you see the advantage from f1.4-f3.2. stopped down any lower you won't see a significant difference. This lense is at it's best around f2 getting the smooth bokeh you want with sharp in focus section you need.

AMAZING!

Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2018

Style: Lens OnlyVerified Purchase

OH MY LANTA! I love this lens! I have been doing photography for 2 years now and have slowly built on my collection of lenses. This lens, aside from the 85mm 1.8f is by far my favorite portrait lens. Really it is the most universal sense and it provides amazing quality pictures! If you are a new photographer looking for a startup lens...this is it! It is affordable and definitely provides high quality pictures. If you are an outdoor/natural light photographer like myself; I would recommend getting the polarized lens cover that they offer with it. The polarized lens cover helps shade sunlight and glares that will be picked even if you do use a lens hood. Had I known this would have been such a great lens; I would have bought this baby first!

Decent lens, but the 1.8G is just as good for far less money

Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2013

Style: Lens OnlyVerified Purchase

This is a decent lens if it's on sale. The only reason it's getting a mediocre rating is because at full price, I simply can't see it being that much better than the excellent Nikon 50mm f/1.8G. The 1.8G is a flat out bargain, and is the main reason many people might choose not to purchase the 1.4G.

I own both, and spent some time testing both lenses, and in most instances the 1.8G is as good or better. On the plus side, the lens focuses fairly quickly, and opens up to f/1.4 when you need it. It's slightly heavier than the 1.8, but not so heavy to weigh you down. I think it's a decent lens to have if you get it at a great price, otherwise i'd get the 1.8 and save the difference for something else.

Quality lens for FX camera!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 7, 2015

Style: Lens OnlyVerified Purchase

I've had this lens now for over a year and a half so this review is based on significant everyday use.

The lens is excellent in every way. It's not a light lens but that is what a lens like this should feel like. The overall construction is really good quality with both metal and plastic. It is weather sealed so can be used in light rain.

It comes with a lens hood and bag to store when not in use.

The quality of the pictures when used with a D800 has been unbelievable. I am an old school photographer and still have my FM2 and the original Nikkors made of steel and proper glass. Though not comparable to these, this lens is worth every penny and it does cost a lot of pennies!

The colours and contrast are spot on and any minor aberrations can be corrected quite easily in Lightroom.

I use this all the time and it focuses quickly and quietly without any problems. Really tough construction and has taken a few knocks but still looks new. Use a good quality 77mm UV filter though to protect from dust and scrapes.

Pictures viewed on a large 40" HDTV are flawless. You cannot appreciate the quality and depth until you see pictures at this size. The combination is the lens and the D800 is fantastic.

Really pleased after a year and a half of use.

Excellent lens.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 16, 2016

Style: Lens OnlyVerified Purchase

A fantastic lens. I think of using a 50mm lens as a bit old school. It makes you rethink things a little after being so used to using a zoom. It slows you down forcing you to think a little more about your composition, and you will curse yourself sometimes for not having a zoom with you. Technically the lens seems fabulous, bright and sharp and obviously fast as you would expect. My only complaint really is the focusing distance. All too often I just can get in as close as I would like.
F1.4 does give you a few more create options that zooms don't give you. But to me its a training add. It helps me break some bad habits. It helps prevent me getting into a rut, and forces me to look at my surroundings in a different way and take more creative shots.

Not as sharp as 1.8

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 30, 2020

Style: Lens OnlyVerified Purchase

I had read lots of reviews about this compared to the 1.8 lens and the market competitor the Sigma 50mm 1.4 ART. Sadly this lens comes third. The 1.8 is much sharper when shot wide open. I had to stop this down to 3.2 to get it sharp - so was useless to me shot anything above that, which for me, defeats the point of a 1.4 for low light. The Sigma is my champion. It is much heavier - over double weight and pricer but it can be shot wide open at 1.4 and its pin sharp. This for me is what need a 1.4 to achieve.
If budget is important - get the 1.8
If you really want a 1.4 for shooting wide open, get the Sigma.
If the lens is for daily shots, bumbling about and not for use wide open then this lens is just fine.
Same great build quality you expect from Nikon - it's a lovely lens, it really is but for wide open pin sharp images, its not the best.

50 MM f/1.4g nikkor lens.

Reviewed in India on June 8, 2018

Style: Lens OnlyVerified Purchase

Probably one of the most versatile portrait lens every photographer should have.
Skipping the excessively large pros and cons of the lens, the manual focus is extremely smooth providing greater depth of field and extremely sharp images. The post-processing of any image is cut down to greater extents due to amazing picture quality as compared to a 35mm prime lens.
Below is a first shot image clicked using this lens. Post processing in lightroom cc.

Standard lens

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 6, 2012

Style: Lens OnlyVerified Purchase

There is a reason thy call the fifty a standard lens. I have always had one on my camera as it is generally cheap, provides good sharp images and are great in low light. The modern idea that we should all have a 'standard zoom' is not one that works for me. Zooms have there place and some are really good but I do not think they will ever replace a good prime. To the case in point. This is my first 1.4 fifty and I can see now what all the fuss is about. It may cost more than the 1.8 version but I feel the cost is justified in the results it produces. Is a a tiny bit soft at 1.4 but improves greatly by f2 and by f2.8 where I generally use it, it is brilliant. Contrast is excellent too and the only time I have had issues with flare i when shooting directly into the sun which is hardly surprising.
One reviewer has made comment that quality is an issue but as he readily admits, he is comparing this lens to an old Nikkor 1.2. This is an unfair comparison as the way lenses were made in the past is vastly different from how they are made today. Metals have largely been replaced by plastic but in the case of this lens I have no reason to believe it will last long time and provide reliable service. It will likely not last a lifetime as some of the old metal Nikkors probably will but it will focus faster and probably more accurately than most folks could focus a 50mm 1.2. In short. Highly recommended.
