The AF NIKKOR 50mm f/1.4D from Nikon is a versatile normal-length prime for everyday shooting. Its Fast f/1.4 maximum aperture is well-suited to working in low-light environments and also affords extensive control over depth of field for using selective focus techniques, however, can also be used with DX models where it provides a 75mm equivalent focal length. Autofocus system is compatible with select Nikon DSLRs that support D-type lenses and offers quick and precise focusing performance.
Moreover, its Autofocus is not supported by DSLRs lacking an autofocus motor, such as the D3000-series, D5000-series, D40, D40X, and D60, where the lens may be used with manual focus only. Its Rounded seven-blade diaphragm promotes a pleasing out of focus quality that benefits the use of shallow depth of field and selective focus techniques. A Super Integrated Coating has been applied to individual elements and reduces lens flare and ghosting for increased contrast and color accuracy when working in bright and backlit conditions.
