A 50mm prime lens is often referred to as “neutral” because it sees objects just about as our eyes do. It has a big f/1.4 aperture that is pretty sharp wide open but is sharper when closed down a step. As with many primes, it is small and lightweight. These features make this lens very versatile indoors and out. The picture angle is 46 degrees on an FX camera (31.5 degrees on a DX camera), it can focus down to 18 inches, it’s less than 2 inches long, and it weighs just a little over 8 ounces. What's the difference between this and the Nikon 50mm AF-S f/1.4G? This is an AF lens which means it needs the camera to have a focusing motor to make it autofocus. The other major difference is that it has an aperture ring, while the G lens does not. This is probably not significant for most dSLR users. D40 and D60 owners please check with Nikon for compatibility.
