AF-S 85mm F/1.4G N

[ooo]

Can someone test it on DX camera?

The above pics are all taken with D300s, f1.4, 1/60sec, iso400, focal length 127mm

I did a test shot last night on a piece of White paper with black wordings. I noticed front bokeh wordings has slight purplish while d back bokeh wording becomes with greenish. Could it be becoz of the artificial lightings in my room? But I did use a pop up flash to illuminate it. I'll post the photo later with my laptop after my dental check up!

Hi Pete, how's your dental check-up ?

I wish everything was going fine !

Yes, Pete...Toothless cannot speak, can type right? Haha

I am convinced that the G is not worth the money to upgrade from D

 

[eow]

was expecting bleeding sharp pic from the G...seem it only marginally sharper

Hi Pete, how's your dental check-up ?

Yah, besides having two stitches in my mouth for removing wisdom tooth, I'm fine. Thanks!

Lunas, I can shout already!

Anyway, does anyone knows if this lens is compatible with nikon's teleconverter? Thinking of letting go my 70-200 since it's underuse and get a teleconverter just incase I needed extra zoom. Thanks.

 

[ooo]

Guys, I dunno if it's the way I took the pic that does not show the true beauty of this lens coz i just aim and shoot. Maybe we should wait for more samples before saying the G is not worth it I dun want my friend to kill me ;p

If shooting flowers for comparison test, that can't justify the sharpness of the lenses as the wind will keep blowing. Unless the flowers shoots were done indoors.

But with the new G lens, you will get about 1/3 stop brighter, which is good (more pleasing bokeh).

Nope, the new 85 1.4G does not fit into any teleconverter

How do you get 1/3 stop brighter?

 

[ooo]

I dunno if it's 1/3 stop, but really it's brighter when i tried it with the same settings

it is not because of the lighting lah. That is THE longitudinal chromatic aberration. Once you know what to look out for, you will see it quite often...

That is why I don't like f1.4 lens. I THINK most f1.4 lens show more LoCA even when stopped down to f2.8 compared to a f2.8 zoom at f2.8.

Can you do manual exposure in a controlled lighting with a tripod set in a fixed location? Better to remove any variables that would lead to more questions.

 

[Gu Gu]

thx for the comparison shots.

the G definitely seems brighter and warmer than D.

 

[jeff7id]

How do you get 1/3 stop brighter?

The Glens image looks like about 1/3 stop brighter.
Not sure whether it's exactly 1/3 stop, just my personal opinion.

Have you tried using Kenko Teleplus PRO 300 DG AF 1.4x ?
