Nikon NIKKOR AF NIKKOR 50mm f/1.4D 50mm

★★★★☆ 4.4 (4)

The f/1.4 maximum aperture delivers strong subject isolation and low-light performance on full-frame F-mount bodies, with a 75mm equivalent field of view on DX cameras. Its Super Integrated Coating and 7-blade diaphragm produce pleasing bokeh, while the bundled accessory kit adds practical value right out of the box. This lens is best for portrait photographers seeking classic rendering and shallow depth of field on a budget.
