A couple of weeks ago, I bought what in my opinion is the queen of Nikon lenses. The Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 is my first fixed lens – which I always thought were for grown-ups – and I’m still getting used to it. I’ve been spoilt by the choice a zoom lens offers – with this lens I have to move a little more which is a great way to learn more about composition.
Whilst I find myself bopping my head back and forth like a chicken, the results are best described as graceful. For my non-photographer friends, a lens with these credentials, of a low f stop and Nikon quality, would cost thousands of dollars. For some reason, this particular one – which not so different in quality especially for non-professionals – is probably the best value for money out there. I love it and highly recommend it.
