Product Description
Go beyond the ordinary with the AF-S NIKKOR 58mm f/1.4G, a lens designed to excel in low-light and nighttime applications but with characteristics you'll enjoy for so much more. Its fast f/1.4 maximum aperture produces outstanding evenly lit images with edge-to-edge sharpness--virtually no sagittal coma or light falloff. Its unique design and rounded 9-blade diaphragm produce stunning bokeh and depth of field control from f/1.4 to infinity-equally useful in daytime portraits and nighttime cityscapes. Whether you're shooting photos or HD video, FX or DX-format, the AF-S NIKKOR 58mm f/1.4G offers thrilling new capabilities and inspiration.

Whether you're shooting photos or HD video, FX or DX-format, the AF-S NIKKOR 58mm f/1.4G offers thrilling new capabilities and inspiration. When shooting photos or video in low light—especially at night—you often want your lens aperture wide open. With many lenses, though, shooting at maximum aperture can cause a slight distortion at the edge of your frame—points of light render as diamond-shaped flares. The AF-S NIKKOR 58mm f/1.4G is specially designed to combat this distortion while providing even brightness across the frame. Capture sharp, evenly lit photos and videos, edge to edge. The AF-S NIKKOR 58mm f/1.4G adds a dramatic sense of depth to your compositions—both at short distances as well as long-distance landscapes. When shooting stills of a close subject, the AF-S NIKKOR 58mm f/1.4G can achieve beautiful bokeh with soft, natural edges that diminishes smoothly away from your focal point. When recording HD video, use these outstanding bokeh characteristics for interesting smooth focusing transitions and drawing attention to your subject. . Paying homage to the acclaimed Noct Nikkor 58mm f/1.2, the 58mm focal length falls in the sweet spot between a standard lens (50mm) and a medium telephoto lens (85mm). On an FX-format D-SLR, it offers a natural perspective with just enough telephoto characteristic to exaggerate depth of field. On a DX-format D-SLR, its 87mm equivalent perspective is ideal for portraits and other medium telephoto uses.

The focal range is rad simply because you get all the nifty fifty versatility but not the distortion that the 50mm 1.4 puts on a closer portrait. I used to shoot my 50mm @ 1.4G a lot because it could handle it. My only complaint with the 58mm is that it doesn't seem to nail the focus as much @ f1.4. f2 is golden though. I'm still getting used to it so that aspect could be me but so far I love it.
If I do need the wider look of the 50mm, which is rare, I use my 50mm 1.4D from my F3 film body. Still has the auto focus and aperture ring and works with both film and digital! #nikonforlife
So far I have shot 2 weddings and 2 engagements with the 58mm. I tend to switch to my 85mm less now simply because it takes care of those closer 3/4 portraits of two people. If I was shooting a single subject I would prefer the perspective of the 85mm though. You can see some examples on my website/blog if you're like me and need a visual to confirm your purchase!

Now you might be saying, "Why did you buy this lens and not use it on a full frame camera?" I don't really have an answer for that other than, I like my body, and was only looking to upgrade my lens. Maybe someday I'll upgrade my body, but then I'll have to actually buy the 85 f/1.4, and hopefully Sigma's ART lineup has an 85mm in it for even sharper photos!
On-location/Environmental portrait work is where this lens shines! I find myself shooting at 1.4 a lot more now since I am comfortable and familiar with the lens. I've tried the sigma 50mm art and that was a pretty great lens (more versatile than the 58mm), but the 58mm will bring life to your portraits. Here are sample images at 1.4 (child only) and 2.0 (mother and child).

I wish that it took a 77mm filter like my other professional lenses (except the 35mm 1.4G which takes a 67mm - what up Nikon?), but a minimal step up ring solves that problem. I don't tend to use the hood on my 50mm 1.4G and probably won't on this lens as the front elements on both lenses are deep and protected without one. Also, not a lot of lens flare occurs in low light. Therefore, I can probably leave the step up ring on full-time (just need a 77mm lens cap). That all said, this lens is quite a bit larger and heavier that my consumer-grade plastic 50mm. It's shaped just like a smaller version of the 85mm 1.4G, which is lovely in my opinion. While larger and heavier than the 50mm it feels good on my D700 and D800E, with or without the battery grips. This is a big, beautiful piece of glass, in my opinion.
I don't notice the change in focal length too much. 50mm is a bit tight in some instances and this lens will probably prove more so. This also probably means that my 35mm 1.4G may see more use in the future. 50mm is not a great portrait focal length for FX (perfect on a DX camera), but I still always find myself doing a lot of closeup work with my 50mm and the 58mm will help here. The minimum focus distance seems a tad farther than my 50mm, which focuses quite close (not bad for random macro shots). I haven't looked at the specs, so this could be my imagination. Admittedly, I haven't done a lot of shooting with this 58mm (nor has anyone else at this point a week after the release), but I can tell already that it focuses better in extremely low light than my 50mm 1.4G. I've been able to get the eyes sharp in very low light which has been a challenge with my 50mm 1.4G. No opinion on overall sharpness compared to my 50mm 1.4G. I'll let the techno-blogger geeks figure that one out. What I can say is that this lenses produces unbelievable colors. I am very thrilled in this department.
So, if you are in the market for a nifty-fifty or want to upgrade to a professional-grade prime I don't think that you can do better than the 58mm 1.4G in the Nikon world right now. The 50mm 1.8G is a heck of a lens for $200 and will fill most people's needs quite well. However, if you want the very best and 50mm is your bread-and-butter like it is mine I'd say get the 58mm 1.4G now while it's still in stock... Happy shooting!

I thought it's a little crazy to spend this much for a plastic specialty lens, but having used it for a month now, I have no regrets. I'll be keeping this one for along time!
Ships from and sold by Amazon.ca, there was a Canadian warranty card in my box incase you wanted to know.
El bokeh es muy suave
Muy satisfecho
De plus, cerise sur le gâteau, fermez à f2 et vous aurez un rendu bien plus classique, fermez à f5.6 et vous aurez l'une des optiques les plus piquées qui soit. Une réussite sur toute la ligne, pour une optique atypique présentant des qualités bien méconnues...
Focal fixe monté sur D810.
Peu encombrant, léger, silencieux en mode vidéo.
Comment ais-je pu attendre si longtemps pour utiliser ce 58mm!!
