Premium prime? Nikon AF-S Nikkor 58mm f/1.4G in-depth review

31 Dec

frontpage520.png

The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 58mm f/1.4G was one of the more unexpected lens releases of 2013. It’s a fast normal prime for full frame shooters, but its $ 1699.95 / £1599.99 price tag represents a huge premium compared to the existing (and very good) AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G. What’s more, lab tests failed to show any clear sharpness advantage either. So why, exactly, is Nikon asking so much for this lens, and just how well does it perform in real-world use? Find out. Read our detailed review

Nikon invokes spirit of Noctilux with 58mm f/1.4G premium lens

17 Oct

Nikon has announced the AF-S Nikkor 58mm f/1.4G, a premium standard prime for full frame SLRs that’s designed to deliver the best possible images, even at maximum aperture. It’s highly corrected for coma, meaning that point light sources are rendered correctly right across the frame, and is specifically designed to give an attractive rendition of out-of-focus regions of the image. It can also be used on Nikon’s DX format SLRs, on which it will behave like a classic 85mm ‘portrait’ lens. This all comes with a hefty price tag, though; $ 1699.95 / £1599.99. It’ll be on sale in selected retailers at the end of this month.
