Bright f/1.4 Maximum Aperture
The standout feature of this 50mm lens is its large f/1.4 maximum aperture, which provides outstanding performance in low-light conditions. The wide aperture also allows for greater control over depth of field, making it easier to isolate subjects against a beautifully blurred background. This is particularly useful for portraits or situations where shallow depth of field is desired.
Silent Wave Motor (SWM) for Fast, Quiet Autofocus
Nikon's Silent Wave Motor (SWM) technology ensures fast, quiet, and accurate autofocus, making it a versatile lens for both stills and video. Whether you’re capturing action or recording in quiet environments, the SWM delivers smooth and virtually silent focusing. The lens also supports full-time manual focus override, giving you precise control when needed.
Optical Excellence for Sharp and Clear Images
The advanced optical design of the 50mm f/1.4 G minimises both flare and chromatic aberrations, ensuring images are sharp and free from unwanted colour fringing. With high-quality optics and coatings, this lens produces crisp, vivid, and accurately rendered images with excellent contrast and colour reproduction.
