AF-S 50mm f/1.4G

[grantyale]

MTF looks ok - but perhaps still not up to Sigma 50/1.4 wide-open.

haha at least Nikon SIngapore didn't make such a mistake!

anyone spotted the error at Nikon USA yet?

whoops... here's the post I was referig to...

"geepeers!

Nikon USA in the rush to put up the new AF-S 50mm F1.4 made two very terrible mistakes on the main AF-S 50mm F1.4 product page and the Tech Specs tab... :bigeyes:

If they haven't seen them and changed them, the glaring mistakes could still be there...
(If they have already changed it, haha I've already made screen capture)

Can you spot them? :bsmilie:

Here is the link"

 

[mogwai]

can only spot one....

"AF-S (Silent Wave Motor) | No"

i lol at this one since that's the feature that's going to change many people's lives (literally, for d40,70,60 users)

 

[mogwai]

think the other one may be this....

"Internal Focusing | No"

according to dpreview, the lens groups move but not the front elements don't move and barrel length doesn't change.

haha you are right! :thumbsup:

it happened twice - once inside the Tech Specs tab the other is actually just next to the picture of the lens "AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G"

haha sorry don't have any prizes to give - the only prize is just the fun in trying to spot the errors and having a laugh at how Nikon USA made such a glaring mistake in their rush to get the info up on their site!

think Nikon uSA will reware with a AF-S 50mm f/1.4G for spotting those mistkas? :bsmilie:

AF Nikkor instead of AF-S Nikkor?

 

[bigpond]

After the Sigma 50/1.4, I must say I am a little underwhelmed... Does it not look a bit too plasticky to you -- like the 1.8 version? I guess there is still a market for good Zeiss ZF primes afterall.

 

[chocmuffins]

Ahaha, sorry I left those out. Out of my pocket league...

Thanks for the correction.

 

[cichlid]

I was hoping for 9 rounded blades, so glad it does

 

[mogwai]

it does look a bit plasticky, but it's certainly 'meatier' than the current 50/1.4 (weight wise)

and not to take anything away from 'made in china' goods, the current 50/1.4 does have that 'cheapened' feel...

current 50/1.4 certainly doesn't have the solid build or feel of the old 50/1.4 AIS or the 50/1.2 or 55/1.2

MTF looks ok - but perhaps still not up to Sigma 50/1.4 wide-open.

the sigma 50mm f1.4 is damn big leh! :bsmilie: i almost thought it was a 85mm f1.4

 

[woolman]

AF Nikkor instead of AF-S Nikkor?

yep! bingo!

 

[lsisaxon]

yep! bingo!

That's even in the webpage title! They haven't changed it.

My AF 50mm/1.4 copy is made in japan also the same plasticky feel. It is the design.

They should really take a look at Pentax's LE lenses. Though none as fast as F/1.4 but the feeling is simply fantastic :lovegrin:

 

[mysterio506]

nikon should replace the f/1.8 as well

AF-S 50mm f/1.8G ;p
