Rated 4 out of 5

Exceptional, but pricey

I have the gold ring Nikon 35 f1.4, 85 f1.4 and bought this to explore macro, the "normal" 50mm focal length, and slowing down my photography (manual focus). Instantly noticed this has more sharpness, contrast, and richness of color. It renders close to how I like to post process, so a bit of time saving there. Build quality is excellent as everyone says.Downsides are a bit of softness and noticeable vignetting at f2.0 (unless this is what you want), and of course, price.An added plus is the ability to digitize some of my old family photos. I'm keeping it for this, plus it's just fun to manually focus a really high quality, exceptionally built lens.

Why did I wait so long ??

I’m loving it. It’s like a work of art all by itself with taking any photos. I’ve only had it for Two days now and I haven’t taken it of the camera. There is a learning curve in the close up to macro range but it’s easy. Everyone writes about the focal throw and how much twisting is needed ... this is true but it’s not a negative. .. the twist is so fine that you get focused sharply and easily. Then there is the aperture, you lock it at f22 and the camera will handle it just like any other. The lens hood is a work all by itself.. it have a Velvet lining to kill glare ... amazed .. well that is my review... I have to go touch my new lens now. I see as I write this that the shelves are bare ... I must have got the last one

Great Macro Lens

I have been looking for a 50mm-ish macro lens for very long time, and have tried several options but finally this is the only thing I am satisfied with.

Great Lens

It's all about what you're taking pictures of, but this lens is just about perfect for me. I shoot a lot of cars. I can get fantastically sharp close-ups with the macro with wonderful bokeh. The 50mm is good for full shots even at The 1.5 increase from my dx format camera. And 75mm is a great portrait and landscape lense as well. The color reproduction is brilliant. Sharp from corner to corner. The only thing I might warn you about is the very thin focal plane at f2 but that can be a good thing. Again; if that's what your after.
