Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G review
Nikon?€™s AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G lens, is a fast, compact lens that
affords photographers the versatility of the classic 50mm focal length and
the benefits of a fast aperture for photos and movies. Whether a new D-SLR
enthusiast or a seasoned pro, users will appreciate the tack-sharp image
quality, extreme low-light performance, shallow depth of field and Nikon
core technologies that improve upon the original to make a great lens even
better. Lightweight, compact and affordable, this lens will easily become a
favorite and find a home in any photographer?€™s gear bag. With the
unique ability to mimic the focal length of the human eye, the AF-S NIKKOR
50mm f/1.8G lens is ideal for travel, general photography, low light,
landscape shooting and portraiture. This lens continues the tradition of
NIKKOR precision optics to provide photographers with sharp,
high-resolution images and the ability to focus as close as 1.48 feet, with
amazing depth of field control for intimate details. The integration of an
ultra-compact Silent Wave Motor ensures fast, whisper-quiet AF operation,
which is essential when recording movies. Optimized for Nikon FX-format
cameras, this lens is also a great option for Nikon DX-format photographers
seeking a fast, sharp lens for capturing images with amazing color and
contrast. The new 50mm f/1.8 lens construction consists of seven elements
in six groups, with one aspherical lens element to reduce instances of coma
and aberration, even when shooting wide open. A rounded diaphragm opening
combined with the seven-blade aperture contributes to a substantially more
circular bokeh for a more natural appearance of out-of-focus background
elements. Additionally, instances of lens flare and chromatic aberration
are suppressed using Nikon?€™s exclusive Super Integrated Coatings,
which also help ensure vividly accurate colour balance. The AF-S NIKKOR
50mm f/1.8G lens is scheduled to be available at Nikon authorized dealers
beginning mid-June, 2011.
