I bought this over the 1.4 G and I got a chance to play with it yesterday.
Focus speed isn\'t super fast but it\'s pretty good but unfortunately it is my first nikon lens that has required micro adjustment (not much mind you); I could see the focus error out of the box with the split image screen I have in my D700. Flare control is very good and though I haven\'t run tests sharpness appears very good.
By far the worst thing about this lens is the build quality, I don\'t care is nikon thinks £200 is cheap for a 50mm it\'s built like a cheap toy out of a chinese factory - seriously is is that bad.
