 Oldie but goodie January 8, 2009
This lens is soon to be replaced with the new (circa-2009) f/1.4 AF-S lens. Since the most important aspect of a lens is the glass, I would *definitely* purchase this over the $150+ more expensive new lens (although the new model has eight [8] elements vs. seven [7] in this lens).
I purchased this in December, 2008, (before the holidays) for use with my Nikon D90. While the DX camera has a 1.5X multiplier (so this is effectively a 75mm lens), it does great work from f/1.4 all the way up to f/22 and beyond.
Even as a photo amateur, this lens really adds something to my bag.
What it does not do well, however, is walking around in a city. This is a lens for portraits, people, and low interior light. It does not do well from a cityscape perspective.
 F1.4, need I say more? January 6, 2009
Before purchasing this I debated between this and the cheaper F1.8 but now that I have it I'm glad to have spent the extra $$. I've never had a lens with an f-stop this low and it's truly amazing how much more light this lets in than my other lenses. With it wide open you can shoot hand held at ISO 800 in a partially lit room. Of course there's almost no depth of field with it wide open so you have to focus very carefully, especially at close range. Autofocus doesn't have a lot to do but it's fast and accurate. Using this with the new Nikon D700 and the pairing is excellent. Between the low fstop of this lens and the high iso sensitivity of the D700 you can shoot handheld in nearly any condition. So far I've shot a flashless indoor wedding, new years eve celebratory fireworks, an early morning nature hike, and countless other random shots...
Excellent lens December 16, 2008
Excellent lens for shallow depth of field pics, I found it very useful for food photography.
IM FEEL LIKE A KID IN A CANDY STORE!!! November 18, 2008
I wonder what took me so long to buy this lens but after reading reviews on other sites I felt I needed to at least try it out. I went to my local camera store here in LA and the owner let me play with it for the day ---- I purchased it when I came back... its that good... buy it buy it buy it
awesome high aperture lens October 12, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
its a great lens for high aperture shoots. keep in mind if you have a Nikon D40 or D60 the auto focus will not work, you will have to manually focus the lens. other then that is is a great lens
