Comments about NIKON AF-S 50mm F/1.4G:

This is definitely a specific lens. I would not recommend it as a general all-around type lens, but if you are wanting to take portrait photography, night shots, or pictures of wildlife, then this is a great lens. I primarily use it for portrait and wildlife, but the low f-stop makes it great for night shots.

Comments about NIKON AF-S 50mm F/1.4G:

After reading mixed reviews, I was a little hesitant when I ordered this lens. The day after I received my order I shot a wedding. On my sub-frame Nikon D40, the focal length made for a great portrait lens. With the low light, I shot almost exclusively at f/1.4. Shooting at such a small depth of field, the focus accuracy was exceptional. I was also impressed with the smooth brokeh (background blur) the lens produced. Contrast and color accuracy were also above average. The only thing that keeps this from being a perfect lens is the rather sluggish focus speed. However, for most applications it is fast enough that this won't be an issue. Just realize it's not instantaneous like many other AF-S lens.
