From the manufacturer

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.

    Best lens I have ever used
    5 Stars
    Best lens I have ever used
    First prime lens. Purchasing the Nikon D750 soon. Have 3100 at the moment which isn't that great of camera. Choice was between the f/1.4G and f/1.4D. G version is made in china and newer. G version has near silent focusing compared to the older G model. Hearing the D model uses screws that allow faster focus compared to the G model. However, the G model has 8 elements compared to D lens with 7 elements. I think f/1.4 G has flare issues which is a bummer if you take pictures toward the light or sun. Very fast focusing on this crappy camera I have now. I mean very fast. Now the older D model may be faster focus on certain cameras but for me, the F/1.4G is very fast with nice bokeh. I plan on purchasing the 105 macro lens next, then the 70-200 f/2.8.I included a photo of my dog, who moves every time a camera is on her face. This was taken at around 7:30 pm at dusk. Yes, I focused on her nose because she was moving her head, but just check out the bokeh! The other picture of my dog (Chuppa) was taken at dawn inside a dark family room with no flash. And Chuppa was moving. The last picture was taken at dusk from my snowy rooftop (which I do not recommend!). You look closely and can see some flare. I will say that the F/1.4G has less chromatic Aberrations then let's say the Sigma F/1.4 and it is lighter. The next picture was of my famous Art "Deep Shadows" a painting I purchased in La Jolla, California (the good old days). Keep in mind my flash on this crappy camera is limited and I was just playing around. The last picture was taken at night, no flash; the only lighting were 8 seven watt landscape lights and partial moon on a clear dark night. I had to brace my arms on wall of an adjacent patio so I could not see to focus on redwood railings. I wonder if the F/1.8 could do this at night? Doubt it.The Lens was on sale for under $340 when I purchased. Cheaper than the Sigma and about the Same as the older D model. If you are deciding between the Nikkor F/1.4 G and D model, I recommend purchasing both and trying them out in terms of focusing. I also recommend between the F/1.4G and F/1.8 be considered because the F/1.8 is less expensive and many claim it has a sharper center focus. But if you take pictures at dusk or dawn or at higher ISO, then go for the f/1.4 G or D.
