This is a large aperture prime lens with a standard focal length of 50mm, ideal for all digital SLR cameras. This lens has superior peripheral brightness even at the maximum aperture and corrects a possible sagittal coma flare. This lens is perfectly suited for a wide range of subjects enabling outstanding, sharply defined images against a nicely blurred background. The fast, F1.4 aperture makes this lens desirable for use with Digital SLR cameras. This lens effectively becomes an 80mm medium telephoto lens on digital cameras with APS-C size image sensors. The optimum optical design and molded glass aspherical lens elements provide excellent correction for all types of aberrations. The super multi-layer lens coating reduces flare and ghosting. Superior optical performance is also ensured throughout the focusing range. This lens has a minimum focusing distance of 45cm (17.7") and has maximum magnification of 1:7.4. It creates a very attractive blur, even when a small aperture is used.

This lens incorporates HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor), which ensures a quiet and high-speed AF as well as full-time manual focus override.

The First Lens I should have bought.

"This lens is incredibly sharp at 1.4. I wish I had bought this lens first, but perhaps it's better that way. I may have never bought any more lenses. This lens is my goto lens for all purposes now, nothing can beat its light gathering abilities and its sharpness. Amazing quality...." Read Full Review »

Waste of time and money

"Every photographer would like to have some fast glass in the bag. Normal 50mm lens is the cheapest way to start. With Nikon 50 G version was not in stock at the time, I bought Sigma lens. It balances well on my Nikon D700 and my Nikon D40X. Construction is strong and focus is fast. However it is not accurate! I made a mistake of not checking the lens thoroughly as soon as I got it from B&H and I missed my 15 day..." Read Full Review »

"great lens, worth the price. feels pro and is heavy but so what the pix are what matter. The bokeh is really good, also I thought I needed to up grade my d60 to a d90 or d700 untill I started using this lens. This lens definitely improved my photo quilty output. my two cents thx. "

"This lens is fantastic! I knew the new Nikon 50 f/1.4 AF-S was coming out, but was really unhappy with the performance of the current 50 f/1.4, so as soon as this became available, I bought it.
