Pros:
|
Great normal, fast lens. Classic image for B&W
|
|
Cons:
|
softer wide open
|
|
A little soft wide open but from 2.8 to f11 it's very good. Nice bokeh and contrast. A classic Nikon lens. I use it for my normal lens and it's fast for low light and classic B&W image quality. Nikon has been making it forever and that's a statement to its popularity.

Pros:
|
fast f/1.4, build quality, compact, takes 52mm filter
|
|
Cons:
|
outdated
|
|
a photojournalist's standard.. like in 30 years ago. Nowadays, many has overrated this lens as its "legendary" performance.
Yes, this lens has a great design. Small, light, sturdy, fast & delivers good performance too. It had created world's greatest press photos many years ago. Today, I prefer the 35/1.8G (DX) for usability. Images are a little bit soft wide open and it has a visible CA.
I got this lens along with my F3HP, which was a great pair for almost anything. I wouldn't use it with my digital bodies.

Pros:

Nice Price, Nice Bokeh
|
|
Cons:
|
tough to focus at F1.4 manual focus on APS-C
|
|
I would not buy if shooting APS-C for stills, especially if subject is in motion.
Would buy for film, or video, or perhaps FX.

One of the sharpest lenses, very robust, best Nikon quality

Absolutely my favorite lens. Super sharp, super fast, perfect for both full frame and DX. I really don't have anything negative to say about this lens. No autofocus, just makes it more charming. Cheaper than the AF 35 1.4, just makes it irresistible

Pros:
|
Sharp image
|
|
Cons:
|
Fair color rendition
|
|
It is a sharp lens but a bit behind the other Nikons in color rendition. Well made and fast. However in practice I end up using the 50/1.2, 28/2, and 24/2 more than this one.
Note that it is still in production
