Review of the lens by Bjorn Rorslett is out on his website. There are quite a number of minor problems with the lens but here are his comments on the improvements:
"the aperture opening is nicely rounded and the out-of-focus rendition (bokeh) is softer and less harsh than seen with the older 50/1.4 AFD model".
"Although nano-coating is missing, the new lens handles awkward backlighting and point light sources better than the model it replaces. Ghosting is usually minimal, but when shooting straight into the sun, you tend to be rewarded by a big bur rather weak blue ghost spot. Flare is well controlled, though, and I did not encounter situations in which flare was an issue for my shooting with the AFS 50/1.4G"
Sure sounds great :lovegrin:

Marcus Bell a well-known wedding photographer was asked by Nikon to try out the new D3x using of course the new AFS 50mm f1.4G lens.
Check out the shots at this LINK
So who wants to get one? Er...I mean the lens... :bsmilie:
But of course if you can afford the S$12,000+ :bigeyes: for the D3X why not get that too ?

Marcus Bell tried out the D3x + 50/1.4G? IIRC, He is a Canon shooter and his opinion should be pretty interesting.
I wanna get one but doubt it will be available locally on the 5th, after which, I will be checking out the price in HK.

yes indeed! maybe after using the nes D3x and the new AFS 50mm he may just decide to switch over
probably 15-20% cheaper in HK?
did you get to ask about the price?
here's a ninteresting review done by pro wildlife shooter Bjørn Rørslett on the new 50mm f1.4G
his conclusion is as follows:
"The new model is an evolution of the older lens, so you don't need to rush out to purchase it unless you can only work with AFS. Anyone looking for an excellently performing normal lens should consider the "G" carefully."
he sees the new lens not as a revolution but a simple evolution...
so you guys still want to get it at S$600+?

I will still get it, provided it is not S$700+.
i doubt it would be S$700+ so looks like you will have a nice Christmas toy to play with soon :bsmilie:
congrats to a happy man (i'm making an assumption here hope i'm correct...sorry if not)
