I bought this lens on a recommendation as a replacement for a used NIKKOR 50mm f/1.4 (Product Number 1433) that I had been borrowing for 3 years. This is a moderately expensive lens for my budget and after using this I am very satisfied with the purchase. I used it in auto mode for outdoors photography (buildings and rolling stock) and found it satisfactory. I then took it indoors for low light photography (concert, music performance) and the results are smashing. With the older lens I couldn't use the viewfinder for focusing (very shallow depth of field and very poor eyesight) so I relied on the ring settings, with enough practice I got good at that method. This lens, on my Nikon D80 body Nikon D80 10.2MP Digital SLR Camera (Body only), affords me more of an opportunity to focus through the viewfinder which I am thrilled with. I will need to learn all over again the focus using the ring but I am certain to master this. In certain indoors situations I was able to use the auto focus in P mode without triggering the focus assist light - sweet.
Perhaps my issues with the old NIKKOR 50mm f/1.4 just meant I should have had it serviced.

I got this 50mm 1.4 lens to take low light pictures of our upcoming baby on my D90. I needed a fast lens to keep flash from going off my newborn's face. Test shots with this lens are amazing. Opened up to 1.4 you can nearly take pictures in the dark. The shallow depth of field you get at 1.4 allows you easily select a focus point and blur out the background and foreground.
I could have purchased the cheaper 50mm 1.8 but I wanted the extra stop and since it's a full frame lens it will work when I upgrade to an FX camera bodies. Get the best glass you can afford don't abuse it and you will save money in the long run.

When I purchased this lens I was looking for a low light lens with the solid construction and exceptional performance I enjoyed with the 50mm F/1.8 lens I used 20 years ago with my Nikon F series. What I got instead was a mediocre made in China lens that hunts and is noisy when focusing. Very disappointed.
I already have a the 18-200mm AF VRII lens from Nikon which is an exceptional lens.
I was looking to use the 50mm in lower light situations but the lens is not worth the $350 so I'll be returning this one to Amazon.

The lens itself works good, but until you can use them...
To connect it to the camera (Nikon D300) it needs some work because the connection points are poorly fabricated, the thread is sluggish.
Also the cap itself is a mess. No Nikon cap, only a white plastic thing that hardly covers the sensitive connecting points, nothing to screw, only to plug.
If you are somewhere dusty or your camera bag is not 100% dust free - you will get no protection.
So I have to buy a real Nikon cap to protect my new NIKON lens. That is pretty crazy.
When I had a look onto the lens, it was completely clear: made in China.
This has been a lesson to me.
Before I buy lens, I definitely will ask where they had been made,
I do not want to have poor fabricated cheap things for that costs.
