Nikkor 50mm f1 4D

Nikkor 50mm f1 4D

I weakened, and I bought one.

Yes, I know Ive already got the 50mm f1.8D. And yes, I love it, and use it all the time.

But... Ive always been curious about the F1.4D version. Its supposed to be much better built than the f1.8 (although to be fair that wouldnt be hard), and given than its three times the price, then it damn well should be!

More importantly, its also supposed to be sharper than the f1.8 (at the wider f1.8 to f2.8 apertures, and with much creamier/smoother bokeh.
Thats the stuff that really interests me.

I love my Nikkor f1.8D - and the f1.4D is supposedly all that, and more! Hey, Im up for that.

Im not interested in the newer f1.4G series lens. By all accounts its slightly slower focusing than the f1.4D - and I just dont like the way the newer G primes look. Too smooth and sculptured. They just look too plasticky. I much prefer the aesthetics of these older lenses. Oh and yeah, the G lens is also about double the price! No thank you.

Ill let you know what I think after the lens arrives, and probably even do a quick comparison with the f1.8D since Ill have both fast 50s together at the same time. Cool!
