albert_smith Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 A few years back, I tested all of my 50mm lenses (and my 55mm f/2.8 Micro-Nikkor) at full apertrue to see if the variations in f-stop would actually show up in photos as changes in DOF that could be seen. I can post two photos from that test of the f/1.8 and f/1.4 so that you can see the background softness and the rendering of the background elements. This is a full-frame test made on a film Nikon, so if you are going to use the lens on DX, mentally crop the image.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albert_smith Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 ... and for what its worth,I use a 50mm f/1.8 AF on my D40 (manually focused), and find it to be a very good performer for the cost. Even though I have the f/1.4 (which won't meter on the D40), the f/1.8 is on my camera most often not only because it meters, but the results are what count, and this lens is very good.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
