Standard prime for FX and DX DSLRs

The AF NIKKOR 50mm f/1.4D is a fixed-focal-length lens built for both FX and DX format Nikon DSLRs. Its 7-element, 6-group optical design covers a classic normal field of view. The lens focuses as close as 0.45 m or 1.5 ft. It ships with front and rear caps.

Maximum aperture f/1.4

The f/1.4 maximum aperture gathers ample light for handheld shooting in dim conditions and provides shallow depth of field for portrait work. The aperture ring stops down to f/16 and includes a minimum-aperture lock lever required for programmed auto and shutter-priority auto exposure modes. The lens accepts 52 mm filters.

Manual aperture ring operation

Mounting is a standard Nikon F-bayonet twist; no tools are needed. The aperture ring must be set to f/16 and locked for the camera to control exposure in P and S modes; forgetting the lock lever is the most common setup error. Autofocus relies on a camera-body screw drive, so it will not focus on bodies lacking that motor. The lens does not zoom.

Questions about this item

How much background blur does the f/1.4 maximum aperture actually give on a full-frame body?

At f/1.4 the 50mm focal length produces a very shallow depth of field, isolating subjects from the background even at moderate distances.

Does the aperture ring need to stay locked at f/16 for modern Nikon DSLRs to control exposure?

Yes, for programmed auto or shutter-priority modes the minimum-aperture lock lever must be set to f/16 so the camera body can stop the lens down electronically.

Will the 52mm filter thread and 0.45 m close-focus work together with a standard circular polariser?

The lens accepts 52mm filters and focuses as close as 0.45 m, so a normal circular polariser screws on and functions at any focusing distance.
