Pros:
|
One of fastest AFing lenses, AF in pitch dark scenarios, tiny, light. Great IQ
|
|
Cons:
|
f2 is marketable but stop down to f2.5 if you only can, then it beats any zoom lens wide open. AF ring gets in a way often (price to pay for small lens)

this lens is a must for both FX and DX users. 100Eur more expensive then G and so much better. Sure would be better f1.4 but you are not going to lose any moneys buying now what is available and get f1.4 later. Nikkors resell good.

i got the lens because i wanted replacement for my walkaround 55 micro i used in film days. Nikon really made something almost perfect here. The lens is awesome and gives 100% results at every setting. Focal lenght is awesome for walkaround and macro feature makes it versatile - you can shoot whatever you want at the time.
I wish it to be f2. I use af-s 50 1.4 as walkaround lens now and often finding limits where it can focus. If that lens would focus to at least 1:2 or this lens would be f2 or faster, i would scream happy.

Pros:
|
sharp wide open, very little CA, nice bokeh.
|
|
Cons:
|
flares lot but they are nice - if you learn them, you can exploit them, slow AF, hunts in low light.

pic is of AF-S 60micro btw.
it is good replacement of old 50er but i was hoping for a bit more. Especially for two reasons:
1) 50 1.8 is so good so they could stretch it a bit even at bigger expense (nano coat, faster af?).
2) FX is well established and therefor 50mm makes sense again.
I recommend it to everybody who dont have any 1.4 or uses FX. If you have old 1.4 50mm, dont bother.
