Nikon AFS 24mm f1.4G
- Thread starter choon wee
- Start date
*ahem*...*cough*...*cough*...BS...
anyway, i had a chance to play with one just now. just 2 snaps straight from cam. click on the images themselves for the original pics. crazily thin DOF @ f1.4... but the bokeh is
i think i focused on 'coffee'.... but you can see how thin the DOF is. since the cup was slopping, the rest of the words are ever so slightly blurred.
this lens is just crazy.... but at least now i know why wedding photogs want this.

I'm happy with my 28... of course it's obsolete now with this new lens

This is what I am looking for (i.e. test shots).:thumbsup:
...sure thanks for clarifying...the water must have been very 'calm' when you took it.....but I still think its a poor image because of the blur - whatever the cause of the blur....speechless or otherwise.You must be referring to this? In all your experience, it didn't occur to you the blur in the reflection was induced by the moving water? You think a larger aperture (shallower depth of field) will cause bottom half the frame to be out of focussed?

That's fine with me (your perception of the photo) as I don't loose sleep over things I can't control.

A faster wide prime definitely opens up more creative options for existing nikon users, which i am sure users of 24L will agree. A 2 stop difference from the usual 2.8 prime can give lovely subject isolation admist a wide take. Thanks nightwolf75 for the test shots - very creamy!

i've actually tried canon's 50 and 85 f1.2L. those are :heart:, if u can get the focus just right.
wat i really want to see is nikon updating the 35/1.4 AIS... tho i think the price will also be in the neighbourhood of the 24/1.4. :bheart:

Thanks for the pics nightwolf. Nice! Now, if only it weren't so pricey...
well, here's quick and dirt result from normal chart and 100% crop from 12mpx file. All taken wide open at f/1.4
First impression is quite surprise with their new packaging, now it comes with plastic cover, not so eco-friendly
but anyway, really satisfied with the result, worth every dollar i spent
tack sharp even at open wide and at infinity. more picture coming...

Bro, just flirted with this piece of gem for 10 mins at the Nikon showroom, i can only say the price tag is well justified :thumbsup:
