I recently purchased a D750 after shooting primarily mirrorless for the past several years.
I am still in the process of acquiring lenses, but picked up the 50mm 1.8G to get me going, as it seems to be well liked.
Unfortunately, it's driving me nuts. Firstly, image quality with contrast detection AF in live view is as expected. But with phase-detect AF, it's all over the place. At close distances (MFD), I have to dial in between +5 and +10 for decent sharpness, at mid-distance (4-5') +0, and at farther distances (10+') -10.
Can I assume this is a characteristic of this specific lens? I can't imagine trying to work like this with every lens.
If it is the lens, should I just exchange it? Has anyone else experienced this?...Show more →
Joe,
I don't believe this is the case with each copy of this lens . Below is a Nikon refurb that I just purchased . Wanted to try the lens on Will's recommendation . I believe its a great value for the money .
D700 + 50mm f/1.8G @ 1.8 , cropped , reduced for post other than that , sooc . No fine tune , just out of the box .
Hope this helps ...
Nikon AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.8G
