Pairing a normal field of view with an especially bright design, the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.4G is a versatile prime, well-suited for a wide range of subject matter. Characterized by its fast f/1.4 maximum aperture, this lens is adept in difficult lighting conditions and also excels at isolating subjects using selective focus and shallow depth of field techniques. A Super Integrated Coating enhances contrast and color accuracy by reducing flare and ghosting, and the rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes a smooth, pleasing bokeh quality. Additionally, a Silent Wave Motor provides fast, quiet, and accurate autofocus performance along with full-time manual focus override.

Q: 1. Hi there will this lens work on a nikon D610?

Q: 2. Will autofocus work on this lens with a Nikon D3300? If not, what would be a similar lens that would allow autofocus?

A: No, this D series lens will not autofocus with cameras in the D3000 or D5000 series. AF-S lenses like the 50mm 1.8G will autofocus on the D3300. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/766516-USA/Nikon_2199_AF_S_Nikkor_50mm_f_1_8G.html

Q: 3. Can you manual focus with a D750?

A: Aaron,I don't have a D750, but Nikon's Website states that the AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D can be used in the D750, and the f/1.8D allows for manual focus. Just make sure you read your camera's manual to find out how to deactivate auto focus in your camera, as the unit may get damaged if you try to manually focus while still in auto focus mode.

Q: 4. Is this lens compatible with the Nikon D810?

A: Yes, the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.4G will work with the Nikon D810.

Q: 5. Compatible with F5? Searched for it online and seems like it does but just wanted to make sure before I purchase it.Thanks!

A: I use the AF-S 1.4 G 0n a D600, but Ken Rockwell says the lens and camera are compatible and I'm confident that he's correct.

Q: 6. Will the auto focus on this lens work on a D5300?

A: Unfortunately no, it would be manual focus on the D5300. The D5300 requires lenses that have a focus motor built into the lens. Nikon refers to them as the AF-S series lenses. You can use the 50mm AF-S lens instead. Please see the following link:http://bhpho.to/1bhjeTyThe 50mm f1.8 G lens is an AF-S series so it will auto focus with the D5300 camera.

Q: 7. WIll this work with the D60?

A: I've use it in the D90. Check the diameter information.

Q: 8. Looking at this lens vs. f/1.8 for a D750 dslr camera. I need a lens that will allow sharp still images of artwork (5'max)with no blurring at edges. Also would I be able to take decent macro plant photos with either lens? Thnx

A: This lens is a relative bargain for its low-light performance and quality of image wide-open. However for both of the applications you mentioned, you should really be stopping down some so I don't think there would be a performance difference under those settings.

Q: 9. Is this compatible with nikon d3100?

A: Yes this lens will work on a Nikon d3100. One thing to keep in mind that was not easy to find in the manual is that the lens needs to be locked in aperture f 22 to work with auto focusing cameras. the camera will actually control the aperture not the lens itself.

Q: 10. There are several reviews that state this lens focuses slowly, that it is soft at wide apertures, and has poor low light performance. Then there are others that say the opposite... Which is the truth? Or is it a matter of poor quality control that is leading to various performance problems? Or just people not twisting knobds and pushing buttons right? Thanks in advance!

A: As with most reviews, user experience is subjective and relative to the performance metrics of other lenses. As far as OEM lenses go, the Nikon 50mm f/1.4G is a great performer for the price point, mostly outperformed only by more expensive lenses but in other focal lengths. A great alternative/upgrade to this would be the Sigma Art 50mm f/1.4, which is also larger.
