The opera 50mm F1.4 FF lens is designed with advanced optical engineering and electronic design, tailored to meet the exacting requirements of modern high-resolution DSLR technology. It features three SD (Super-low Dispersion) glass elements and one aspherical glass element, all designed to deliver sharp, edge-to-edge images at all apertures.
The ELR coating on the opera 50mm F1.4 FF lens targets the visible light spectrum to drastically reduce the reflection ratio. This results in significantly reduced ghosting and flare, making the lens particularly effective in challenging lighting conditions.
The opera 50mm F1.4 FF lens features advanced dust-resistance and weather sealing in eight key areas of its construction. This provides reliable performance even in adverse weather conditions.
The opera 50mm F1.4 FF lens incorporates a high-speed, ring-shaped ultrasonic motor. This ensures fast and accurate autofocus operation with near-silent performance.
The lens hood of the opera 50mm F1.4 FF lens includes a special filter window. This allows easy access to the filter, making it simple to rotate polarizer or other rotation type filters without removing the hood.

This is the absolute finest piece of glass available for Nikon that I have found after having the Zeiss Otus 55mm and Nikkor 50mm 1.8s(on z6ii). Images from this simply stand out on my D4S. Good luck finding a sharper lens, my files at 16mp look outstanding and I feel no need to go to my higher resolution body. AF is fast and the bokeh is elite, buy it now and start seeing what pro glass is about. This is the Otus with AF and maybe a little CA wide open which can be cleaned.

The auto focus is excellent, the colors are terrific, the edge to edge sharpness is great. Very happy with all aspects of this lens (even the weight is balanced) on my D850 with a grip. The Tokina 50mm F 1.4 Opera and the new Tamron 35mm F 1.4 are the two lenses that I use daily.
