Af Nikkor 50mm 1.4D

Post by Sparkey »

Another Gold box today.

Just back from town where this little beauty has joined the stable. :mrgreen:

Going to give the D200 a new lease of life attached to this lens and hoping to use it as the holiday walk around combination.

Handy for portraits too on the D3.

It is always good to get a Gold box!

I have the Nikkor 50mm 1.8D. I've found it to be very sharp. I should use it more.....

I've read that the bokeh of the 1.4 is better though.

By the way, I was travelling in the state of Florida last week. So, I was not home to see this message.

The Bokeh is amazing. Learning how to use it at present. Its tack sharp for a little one.

I also have a 35mm f1.2 D.

Will be bringing that too on next trip to La La land. I laugh when I think of the expression you zoom with your feet with a prime.
I assumed you were away somewhere Jon.

Uploaded a couple to my Gallery.
Using the 50mm on the D200 to see how it performs.
