50mm 1.8d

[ipin]

Considering that Canon just came out with a L USM version of the 50mm f/1.2 (priced at US$1,600 :bigeyes: ), I'm wondering if Nikon will follow with an AF-S G version :bsmilie: If they did, I'm pretty it'd twist a few people's underware in a knot.

and :sweat: about what is in the people's underware! :bsmilie:
Just get the Nikkor AIS f/1.2 can liao! :bsmilie:

What's the use of such a lens? Probably good for people who need to boast size to overcome the quality. Look what they have in their arsenal and it's not difficult to tell they just think bigger is better.

50/1.0L, 85/1.2L, 200/1.8L. All of them just a fraction of a stop bigger than the biggest aperture Nikon has or used to have. I don't think I would like to comment about the quality.

My point is I don't think anyone in their right mind would want to pay 3 times the price for just a fraction of a stop more unless they are loaded and need their ego boosted. eg. "Your lengs big ah? My lengs BIGger!!" They are probably people who has a top of the line Canon SLR which boasts the world's fastest AF but using manual focus Leica lenses with modified mount on such bodies.

Often times, these are also the people who do not have any photos to show or share.

**Sigh**

The post was meant to be tongue in cheek, a light hearted joke. That was what the big smiles and devil was meant to convey.

But, yes, you are right, no one in a right frame of mind would pay 3 times the price for just a fraction of a stop more light. However, artists who are perfectionists are rarely considered to be mentally stable. :bsmilie:

Still, if Nikon does come up with an AF version of their 50mm f/1.2, they might just follow the old pricing structure (we can hope) and make it a >SG$1,000 lens.

Still no matter how highly it may be priced, there'll be people buying it! :sweat: :bsmilie:
Maybe they can earn back the initial outlay? :think:
